Fantastic Black and White photographs by Marc of New Cham.
Early 1970's - a VW Kombi, Queensland, Sydney, the Outback and faces & spaces in between.
Love these shots.
Many thanks to Marc for allowing me to share them here.
(There were so many great photos, I'm sure there will be a second round of Marc's brilliant
black and white work from the 70's here again soon.)

| Outback Australia 1973 - Near Tennant Creek....I was hitching from Melbourne to Darwin and met
this heavily pregnant girl at Port Augusta.She was hitchhiking to
darwin,i forget why..we got picked up by the guy in the middle,in an
old Morris or Ford Thames van,which threw a big end in Coober Pedy..he
got his brother in tennant creek to drive the 500 miles down to Coober
with a tow rope...she ended up staying with them... |

| Noosa, early 1970's - Noosa National Park,Queensland,Australia...One of the world's premier
surfing venues,back in the days when there was room to park your
car,and then catch a wave without a hundred aggressive surfers on
it... |

| Black and White TV - This is a photo i took in the early 70's in my grandmothers house on
Phillip Island,Australia. There's nothing set up or contrived about
it,it is a purely "as found" image in the lounge room.The
blank screen at the right was used for slide evenings,slides in
colour,of course. Please enjoy. |
