Hi Derby: A lovely written account of the event and some great pics of
these famous Australian Photogs. I'd make some nice prints of the lot. The
group shot was especially nice, and I have to say, Tim Page is quite dishy
:-). Thanks for posting. Cheers, Christine

Just got back from a superb event. Five photographers from °SOUTH gave a
floor talk on their show, WAR.

Ben Bohane pointed out the shame Australians should feel about the
secret war and blockade waged in Bougainville in the 90s, a direct
contravention of the UN arms embargo.

Popped into the opening of a pretty compelling double exhibition tonight

The Nikon Walkley awards are an annual press award, and the photo section
is always seriously good viewing. I distinctly remember the series of
photos from the Lin family funeral. They were a family murdered here in my
suburb, in fact I used to buy a lot of my photography magazines from their
newsagency. The photographer was working for the local newspaper. Normally
I never open the paper, but the shots so moving, I had to go through the
whole article. The case remains unsolved.
°SOUTH are a pretty legendary bunch of characters, including Tim Page,
David Dare Parker, and the amazing Sean Flynn. The show is hard going, but
very much worth the effort
Highly recommended.
