Hmmmm. Maybe the Sydney mob could organise a bus tour to see this....and have a shoot in Canberra?

I went and had a look at the exhibition today - phantastic stuff

There are a few daguerreotypes,
images of people and places going back to 1840,
Sydney in 1920,
European places and people,
American icons (places and movie stars),
Photos from Max Dupain, Ansel Adams, Bill Brandt, Ray Man - too many to name.

If you have the opportunity, don't let it go but go and have a look.

Cheers,

I have been to check it out a few times during my lunch breaks. I work over the road from this place.
