Jane Chisholm

Not long after finishing secondary school in Brisbane, with ‘Asia on a Shoestring’ as my only guide, I went backpacking along the hippie trail. That’s where I found my love of photography. After Asia, I could not bear to come back to Bjelke-Petersen’s Queensland, so in the late 70s, I fled to Melbourne, where I […]

John Brownbill

Mick Sowry

How did you get into Advertising, Film, and Photography– was it by accident or design? I think I’d have to reflect on my life in school, and probably confusion about what I wanted to be. And teachers, in an unevenness of quality at the school I went to too. I was interested in everything, endlessly […]
