A Photograph is Missing
“Am I missing something …
I went over the photographs, slowly, once more. Again, nothing. Not a trace. As if it never happened. Is memory evidence enough? I want proof.”
Robert Billington, along with words by author/playwright Tim Gooding, will take you on an amazing journey of discovery. Robert, through his black & white photographs, shows us what you can discover if you slow down and open your eyes a little wider. Tim’s evocative words not only compliment the photographs they will take you on a journey … you may even find what you have been missing.
Special Event: ARTIST TALK - Saturday 30th August from 2.30 to 3.30 - Robert Billington and Tim Gooding will discuss the rationale behind the combination of photography and story telling as the basis for this intriguing exhibition.

Counterpoint
Australian Living treasure Don Burrows MBE AO, Australia’s best known jazz musician and Bungendore Wood Works Gallery's Exhibition Coordinator, Stan d’Argeavel MA (Visual Arts Photomedia ANU), have been associates for over 30 years and have been producing black and white photographs for a combined total of 115 years. Don Burrows applies terms such as colour, balance, composition, contrast, texture and mood, equally to his music and his photography. Stan d’Argeavel seeks the essence of the moment and scenarios of life in the streets of many parts of the world. In this exhibition the two photographers draw on another musical term applied to photography, Counterpoint, that could be described as two voices at once, or the art of adding an accompaniment, challenging each other to complete the melody of the others individual photographs.
