Project Description
Post Prahran College – the first year after graduating
Personal and pro bono work during 1977
Concurrently I was working to establish my commercial/industrial practice at a time when very few female photographers worked in that area. The first 5 years were extremely challenging and very hard work. The interview with Merle Hathaway [curator and archivist, former Director Horsham Regional Art Gallery] at this link gives more information and imagery about that time.

I was photographing a factory in Preston – one of the hundreds I photographed during my career – but this was the only time I photographed a tea lady.
