One hundred aspects of the moon : Japanese woodblock prints by Yoshitoshi / by Tamara Tjardes.

In this interview, Lisa Moore speaks about her family, early childhood, schooling, career choice as a graphic designer, and the influence of growing up around the arts culture in Australia during the 60s and 70s. Lisa reflects on many aspects of her father David Moore's career as a photographer, both from recollections of real life events and interpretations through his archive. She comments about several iconic images he produced including The Redfern Slums, Sisters of Charity and The Opera House Photographs series. Another of David’s images Grape Picker is discussed. She talks about his work for international publications like Life Magazine, and his early work in the UK, Africa and the South Pole. Lisa discusses David’s role in the establishment of the Australian Centre for Photography (ACP) in Sydney in 1973, and the great responsibility of looking after his vast archive after his death.
