Description
Photojournalists are a rare breed. Their greatest skill is capturing on film that one moment, event, expression or mood that sums up a situation. Through their photographs a story is told. On the pages of this book are images of the people of Victoria and through the excellence of these photographs their daily lives unfold.
But these photographs are not a haphazard collection. Most were shot for the A Day in the Life of Australia project, where international and Australian photojournalists were gathered in Australia to photograph the people of the continent in a single day. The very best of the 96,000 photographs taken on that day form the basis of this book.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF VICTORIA takes you into homes, factories, farms and offices throughout the Garden State. ‘A Day in the Life’ unfolds with wheat farmers in the Western District and then continues with workers in multinational industries, school children in Collingwood, dairy farmers in Korumburra and the owner of a soda shop in Geelong. During the evening, families gather in cozy living-rooms while trendies congregate in discoes aird nightclubs.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF VICTORIA gives you a record of life in the 1980s. You can see Victoria’s unique lifestyle unfold in its pages, and in 20 years, when your grandchildren ask what life was like, you can dust off this book and say, “This is how it was … ”
