Program articles
Negotiations to post online versions of my program articles as listed below are ongoing. Some articles contain uncredited images and where I have not been able to ascertain the name of the photographer I have used the image on the understanding that I am more than happy to be contacted by the photographer to arrange permission. I have taken a similar approach on those few occasions where contact details for a photographer appear to be unknown.
On the other hand, some photographers have declined to give permission, or have not answered my requests. I have removed their images from the articles and have posted text only versions or have included only those images for which I have permission. I warmly thank those photographers, designers and institutions who have agreed to have their works reproduced: Jeff Busby, Jennifer Irwin, Regis Lansac and the National Library of Australia.
