About the Work
What
a
beautiful
moment
captured
here,
a
combination
of
light-hearted
humour,
tenderness
and
genuine
intimacy.
They
are
both
so
well
dressed,
I
wonder
where
they
might
have
been
going
or
coming
from.
In
contrast,
the
carefree
pose
of
the
woman
is
so
informal.
My
first
thought
on
coming
across
this
photograph
was
of
my
late
parents,
who
used
to
love
to
walk
their
dog,
Jack
along
Anzac
Parade
to
James
McGregor
Park.
They
might
easily
have
sat
in
this
same
spot.
