We were driving from Kintore to Kiwirrkurra in the Central Desert region, looking for a roadside campfire where our mates were cooking for the night. 'Is that one – way up there?', Wheeler asked, peering through the darkness in the middle of the night. 'Kinda looks like two.' Fifteen minutes down the road, we pull up … to a bushfire. 'WHEEEEEELERRR!!', Lorna yells, surprised to see us. 'What’s going on Lorna?! What’s with the fire?' Lorna stops, and looks at us like we must be completely stupid. ‘We were cold.’
The exhibition is selected from a national field of entries, reflecting the distinctive vision of Australia's aspiring and professional portrait photographers and the unique nature of their subjects.
