The first was “Cawongla Studio” by Marcia Ritchie, Roxy Gallery, Kyogle.
The photos/subject matter will be of interest to residents & photography students. There will be a no cost raffle draw with a photographic prize for the winner.
The photos were taken over 50 years ago, on the daytime streets of Glebe and Sydney. In 1971. Inspired by not only the Photography teacher. Marcia captured the people and places with a borrowed Tech camera.
Intermediate Art. Awarded Result-Subject-Photography – “B” grade. St George Tech College.
In 1969 Marcia had left school (A’s for Art) a year too young to enrol in an art course at Tech. She rents a room in a Glebe boarding house. Remembers friendly but distant lodgers, lamb fat kitchen smells, clothes gone off the washing line and waking to a painter at the window. And for a few weeks, walking to and from Mansfield St to work, Spring St City. Living on taken bread and goodies off the office tea trolley. And been given extra change by a Glebe Pt Rd shopkeeper.
In 1970 Marcia enrolled in Introductory Art. She worked as a casual barmaid and lived in Woolley St. One never forgets the people of Glebe & those life changing times.
