Death of George Silk

Postby Matt. K on Tue Nov 02, 2004 6:52 pm

For those who missed this story...Silk was an excellent photographer and his passing is noted with sorrow. A quote from an article appears below...

One of the icons of Australian photography is a 1942 black and white photograph of a blinded Australian soldier, Private George Whittington, being led to a field hospital in Buna, New Guinea, by a Papuan, Raphael Oimbari. The photograph was taken by Silk while working as a war photographer for the Australian Department of Information.
