Driven by a passionate commitment, Australian photojournalists bear witness to potent political events and affecting personal stories which form the warp and weft of our social fabric. Paul Blackmore presents turbulent street scenes of the G8 anti-globalisation demonstrations in which hundreds of the protesters were wounded or arrested, and one young Italian was killed. David Dare Parker reminds us of the devastating war in East Timor in 1999. Stephen Dupont surveys Afghan life both before and after the events of 11th September, while Michael Amendoliaís series of images reflect daily life in Kashgar, a part of China which is home to a strong Arabic community. Closer to home, photo-stories from regional Australia explore the sense of community forged by major events and affirmed through a sense of shared culture or simple play. Glenn Hunt documents Yeperenye, an Aboriginal festival in the Northern Territory. Narelle Autio and Trent Parke worked together on a whimsical documentation of some of the more bizarre Outback Races. Dean Sewell reports from the midst of the recent New South Wales bushfires, whilst Jack Picone's deeply affecting Aids series and Ashley Gilbertson's anguished story of asylum seekers and their waiting families in Australia and Indonesia, put faces and feelings before headlines.
