Anyway, in my googling for this company, I found this ...
"Strike a Pose ... with Lee Lin Chin features 89 images taken by Australian Government photographers during the 1960s and 70s to promote the burgeoning Australian fashion industry. Many images are drawn from the collection of the Australian News and Information Bureau, which took images to promote Australian industry and lifestyle overseas."
National Archives of Australia
The exhibition is currently running at Wagga Wagga Art Gallery and runs until 12 December 2010, but you don't need to go to see the fashions! Simply click on the link!
It is also being shown at other regional galleries including Gippsland, Port Pirie, Gladstone, Cairns, Western Plains (Dubbo), Bundaberg and Brisbane (City ... lol, not regional!) as listed here.
This interested me and I wanted to share!

ReplyDeleteI got your package! I wanted my husband to take photos of me opening the package, but he said the pictures kept coming out blurry and I was DYING to get all the goodies out of it, so we may need to stage another mock photo shoot of me receiving it one more time :)
ReplyDeleteDear Nessa
ReplyDeleteVery interesting post and sites to look at!!
I appreciate your comment on my blog - thank you!
At the beginning of September there was a huge earthquake in Christchurch, in the South Island also. Luckily with no loss of life.
Now the mine explosion.
I don't personally know anyone involved yet we are all anxiously awaiting news that it will be safe for rescue services to enter the mine.
We can only have faith and hope and pray for a good outcome.
