Thanks to Magnum for a tweet pointing out a “Wonderful 30 minute documentary about photographers Trent Parke and Narelle Autio<\/em>“, Trent Parke – Dreamlives (2002) – Australian Story<\/a> which you can watch on Vimeo.<\/p>\n

According to my computer its actually 25 minutes 17 seconds long,\u00a0 although perhaps it does seem longer as Magnum suggest.\u00a0 Although it does have a lot of interesting moments and comments – it was good to see some of the locations of pictures in ‘Dreamlives’ and also some more about the making of their joint book ‘The Seventh Wave’ I did end up feeling it would have been a much better 10 minute film.<\/p>\n

But if you want to relax for a while with a glass or two of wine or a couple of beers 10 minutes would be a little short. So perhaps its a film about a very photographically driven couple for an Australian audience who perhaps won’t notice the title and the strapline “Newcastle’s own Trent Parke<\/em>” omits to mention the female half while the film itself stresses the importance of them working together. And in case anyone is confused, that’s Newcastle, New South Wales and I think Parke was Magnum’s first Australian photographer.<\/p>\n

Considerably more interesting photographically is his Minutes to Midnight<\/a>,\u00a0 produced over a two-year period tavelling across Australia with his partner, and culminating with the birth of their first son in November 2004.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0 2006 Magnum in Motion essay is\u00a0 clearly to date the definitive presentation of this work, (the book is a 32 page pamphlet with only 20 images) and I think is a now a real classic.\u00a0 After completing it he stopped working in black and white and moved to colour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
