To all the Aussie PDML'ers living in Sydney, I just saw a story on Sunday about Australian photographer Bill Henson. He has a retrospective exhibition showing at the Art Gallery of NSW until the 3 April. Looks like it might be interesting.
Examples of his work can be found here:

Click on the exhibitions links on the left. The scans a pretty bad, but they give you an idea of his work.

It is an amazing exhibition, IMOH. Nine rooms filled to the brim. The French Opera series was outstanding.
Nothing beats looking at silver prints in real life, especially for Henson's work. Subtle lighting effects and tones just get lost when reprinted on screen, or even on the weighty $85 book that accompanies the exhibition. The impact of scale probably has something to do with it too.
