Sydney Life, the annual photography competition held in Hyde Park as part of Art & About, is stronger than ever in 2008.

There were many passionate arguments from the four judges during the judging. The result is a fascinating collection of different moods, observations and styles. There is humour, comment, portraiture, darkness and domesticity.

Sydney Life is proud of its record of showing a mix of emerging and established artists. This year is no exception. Many well-known photographers entered, several of whom have been selected in previous years. There are also the works of many new and up and coming photographers included in the final selection.

The location of Hyde Park continues to be the star of this popular public art event. I am delighted that Sydney Life is once again enlivening this much-loved green respite in the middle of the CBD.

Sandy Edwards Curator, Sydney Life
