Angourie – c. 1972 There were a few suggestions as to who this kid was, but it doesn’t matter. As one of my friends said, you can’t see anyone in the lineup. That wasn’t actually the case very often, even in the very early 1970s. Photo: Witzig

When I was searching through my old pictures to make an initial select for A Golden Age that Rizzoli published earlier this year, I came across a bunch of pictures that’d slipped from my mind or never been there in the first place. There were no wondrous discoveries unfortunately – more that I was reacquainted with pictures that’d been published some 40 years before, or noticed others that I hadn’t seen the significance of. That was pretty nice actually.
