x 30.2cm. Minor stains and chips to margins.
"Freelance
photographer-journalist Carter… began taking photographs
while still at high school in Victoria. He set out travelling
around Australia with his camera and cumbersome 'portable' typewriter
in 1946, and made a living selling his stories and photographs
to a wide range of Australian and international newspapers and
magazines. He supplemented his income with itinerant work as
a drover, fruit picker, road worker and mill hand, getting to
know the people who would be the subjects of his photographs
for the next 50 years and more. The early years of his career
filled him with admiration for the people making their livings
in some of the toughest environments in Australia. His approach
of living and working with his subjects for a period of time,
often coming back to visit year after year, has resulted in an
extraordinary record of Australian life." (Extract from
National Library of Australia website).
