Greg Neville, 1931. 2011.

The CCP Kodak Salon opens on November 22 and runs until December 15, the tribal gathering of photographers in Melbourne.

This is my piece, a pigment print based on a photograph of my mother and her students in a country primary school in 1931. It may be at Terip Terip, near Euroa (Victoria). It’s from a series exploring my family history through old snapshots. Some were shown last year in 5 Miles from the Sea, and this year at Richmond Town Hall.

News: Since writing this post, the image has won a prize at the Salon –  Best Use of a Found Photograph!
