Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent. No dust jacket.

This stunning photographic book explores the world around the sheds - the shearers, the roustabouts, the dogs, the dunnies and the sheds themselves.

Andrew Chapman takes us on a visual journey on his photographic odyssey where much has changed from those early days, yet so much remains the same. Andrew has travelled to every state and taken a snapshot of an industry with its ups and downs, but like a punch-drunk boxer always manages to get back off the floor and go another round.

Through Andrew Chapman's lens, we meet farmhands, roustabouts, cooks, woolgrowers and even a one-armed shearer, all who share a common link - a declared passion for an aspect of Australian life that is in danger of disappearing altogether.

Andrew Chapman's camera is just a tool; what really matters is his eye. He sees things: shed workers unconsciously replicating a scene from a Tom Roberts painting; the visual poetry in an arrangement of dilapidated chairs or tumbledown timber; abstracts constructed from wool-bale stencils; the patina of age on fences and gates; a wrist-watch suspended on a hook by its metal bracelet band. He works with a keen appreciation of the most crucial element in photography: the light. (back cover)
