Toggle DarkroomWhat the Photographer had to say
I was walking with Aboriginal friends from the Botanic Gardens, where we attended the opening ceremony, towards the city. Alex occasionally struck his guitar when we met a young mother and her child. Hesitant at first, then more courageous, the little one and the ancient one explored Alex instrument unter the watchful eyes of the mother and the Rainbow Serpent. It was a moment of "practical reconciliation" on Australia Day. [I have Alex permission to submit this photo.]
