Melbourne by Sophie Cunningham

$29.99 AUD

Category: Melbourne | Series: City series

Sophie Cunningham writes a year in the city's life, a year that takes us from the heatwave that culminated on Black Saturday when temperatures soared to 47 degrees to the destructive deluge of a hailstorm. She walks through Melbourne's oldest suburb to its largest market, she goes to the footy and to th e comedy festival, she talks publishing and learns how to use a letterpress. Along the way she journeys deep into her own recollections of the city she grew up in, and tells stories from its history: the theft of Picasso's Weeping Woman, the Hoddle Street massacre, William Barak's trek from Healesville, the Westgate Bridge Disaster, the high drama of the 1970 and 2009 AFL grand finals and the Market Murders of the sixties. She strolls by Melbourne's rivers and creeks while considering the history of the wetlands and river that sit at Melbourne's heart. She clambers through the drains that lie beneath. For it is water - the corralling of it, the excess of it, the squandering of it, the lack of it - that defines Melbourne's history, its present and its future. ...Show more

Melbourne Through My Lens by Will Faulkner

$60.00 AUD

Category: Melbourne

This book is a collection of images from my home town of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I am a 4th generation Melbournian and I love this city. These images are the results of many hundreds of kilometres of walking the streets looking for those perfect angles. Usually I would spend 5 to 6 hours walking , ending up with blisters most days, to find an angle that I liked. Then I would make a note of the location and which way the sun rose or set on the scene and come back when the light was right. Then I would arrive at the scene well ahead of the light I wanted, set up and wait patiently. But of course sometimes the shots just didn't work, for example a person might walk into the shot and decide to start watching the sunset just at the moment of pressing the shutter. Or I might wait all day to get a shot of Federation square, take the tram into the city only to find that there is construction set up in my scene. Such is the life of a landscape photographer. ...Show more
