| David bought his first camera using his pocket money when he was eight, and has never stopped taking photos ever since. He works primarily in environmental portraiture and documentary photography, focusing on the role of imagery in story-telling. He fell into a long-term documentary project on heritage telecommunications equipment while working for Telstra, and that saw him documenting a number of exchanges across the Inner West Council area. Hear more from David here. David’s photography of the telecommunications system inside the Balmain Exchange has inspired the new public artwork in development for the Telstra Plaza, corner of Darling and Montague Streets, Balmain, for more information on the project please visit this page. We have a few great upcoming opportunities. This Friday applications open for Newtown ArtSeat and Chrissie Cotter Gallery - check out Council's opportunities page for more details. And Council's Arts and Cultural Grants open 1 October. Closer to the date you will be able to see the eligibility criteria and guidelines.
