Lifesavers Bondi Beach - Marco Bok / Sydney Life 2012 - Hyde Park / Sydney (Sat 13 Oct 2012)
Sandy Edwards talks about Marco Bok's (*) Photo - Lifesavers Bondi Beach. Candid photo of a lifesaving exercise. From a large unpublished series on Bondi Beach made whilst living there..

More details here (*) where Robert McFarlane (*) writes:

[..] Bok possesses a visual grammar with its own emotional, intimate nature. [..] his capacity to work close to his subjects, establishing an intimacy both delicate and revealing, that marks him as a significant artist.

A few more photos from Sandy's talk to follow.

Jenny and Joanne in pose in front of Steven Siewert's photo titled Haunted.

Jenny had just given her first ever talk at the Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation's Pink Ribbon Lunch where she was one of the Guest Speakers.

After the lunch we walked back through Hyde Park North to look at the Sydney Life 2004 photos.

I asked Jenny and Joanne to replicate the happy look in the background photo - not often you see Jenny and Jo not smiling in front of a camera :-) Felt a bit mean asking them to do this, but they put on a good show for the camera.
