Imagining A Real Australia

Book Launch at MAPh

This afternoon (Saturday 7 Dec) I had the pleasure of launching at the Museum of Australian Photography Stephen Zagala’s beautiful photography book — Imaging A Real Australia — about Australian documentary photography 1950 — 1980.

This is a must have book. Beautifully written with loads a photographs. Two reads to be had — read the text and read the photographs.

I urge all photography lovers to buy one for themselves and another as a gift. The link for purchases is below this piece.

 

Here’s a few scenes from the event:
