Over the last few years, photographer Lindi Huntsman has been working diligently in the city’s west, to engage with and attempt to capture the stories of Melbournes African diaspora. That sounds quite serious though. (I think she has quite a lot of fun doing it) This current body of work is a series of photographic images of Melbourne’s Ethiopian community.

Parallel with the evolution of his paintings, David Wadelton has conscientiously photo-documented the changing world of inner suburban Melbourne. His photographs, which have been a source of inspiration for his paintings, range from black and white images of the 1970s and 1980s to contemporary digital suburban snapshots.

We ended up printing a selection of close to 500 images for this show, too many to display here unfortunately. Get down to Mclelland to see it all in situ though.

Icons of Suburbia is currently showing at Mclelland Gallery & Sculpture Park through till the 15th of May 2011

His body in ruins from a lifetime
of aeroplane crashes, 20th Century industrialist, film producer and aviator
Howard Hughes spent much of his life in acute pain.
Bettering the limited effectiveness of the opiate codeine (to which Hughes became
severely addicted), it was his H4 constellation aircraft which provided greatest relief.

Laird Hamilton, Hughes’ assistant until his death in 1976, claims
that flying the Constellation was an unwavering morning ritual for
Hughes, whose airstrip and hangar lay within 100 feet of his back door.
Keen to make the most of his time in the air, the ever deteriorating Hughes
often flew without the canopy of the aircraft attached. “The sky was like holy
water for Howard,” says Hamilton, “he was bathing in it.”
