A Golden Age: Some of the Lesser-Known Pictures

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.

Baddy and Owl – 1978 A candid picture of Baddy Treloar and Owl Chapman while the Coke contest was on in Sydney. I can’t say that I paid any attention to this picture at the time, but now I think it’s pretty good. Photo: Witzig
