Goldie,
I assume you are on the State Library mailing list. There is a free floor talk on this Wed 10th. Details below:
Bondi Jitterbug: George Caddy and his Camera
Don't miss our latest free exhibition featuring 60 stunning B&W images taken by amateur photographer and champion jitterbug dancer George Caddy, in the 1930s and 1940s.
Recently discovered and exhibited for the first time, these extraordinary Bondi Beach photographs reveal a beachside parade of lifesavers, fashionable sunbathers and the daring gymnastic feats known as ‘beachobatics’. The exhibition runs until 22 February 2009 and includes an old news reel of jitterbug dancing, rare 1938 colour film of Bondi Beach and a novelty photo board allowing you to take a digital image of yourself as a gymnast.
Join us for a Free Gallery talk with the Library's Curator of Photographs, Alan Davies, and fashion expert, Margot Riley, on
Wednesday 10 December, 6.15pm start.
Also for lovers of fine photography is the Anthony Browell exhibition of wonderful enlarged 8x10 pinhole photos at Point Light Gallery and Some fine work by Bruce Crowther at the Meyer Gallery

Also one close to my heart given all the classic album covers he did is Henry Diltz's show at blender gallery.

The weekend before last I caught Henry's floor talk at the Blender followed by Trent's talk at ACP. According to Trent his current project is back in black and white using flash inspired by the recent work featured in the current exhibition.
