Students use sources and their own research to prepare an interview with Frank Hurley. Again his fearless nature meant he was willing to obtain his photos, even if perched in rigging or standing on treacherous sea ice. He went to extremes of environment and danger to obtain his famous images. His class is fun to go to and he is very hot!!! He sailed to Antarctica with Mawson and Shackleton, documented both world wars and travelled extensively in Australia and exotic, rarely visited countries. He went to Java in 1913 to take promotional tourist photos and then in 1914, he accompanied the adventurer Francis Birtles on a 6,000 mile trek by car into the outback and produced a film of their various encounters along the way.

Students learn about the way of life of people who migrated to Australia and their contributions to Australia's economic and social development. he is nice. He is a great teacher, he gives a lot of work, but he's really clear, take him! I have been revisiting Hurley’s story quite regularly for many years and keep finding the man anew as I develop new interests. Somehow this is thought to be a more authentic and truthful representation. Hurley was attempting to represent the battlefield – unlike these quite famous manipulations that purported to be ‘real’. The Bean/Hurley disagreement about the nature of representation** has been repeated many times since and I often see these kinds of discussions at forums. Hurley’s technical skills developed fast, but he already had another necessary trait, a sense of daring. It's not about the watches: is Australia Post a commercial operation or a public service?

If you like challenges and you do believe that you are an amazing writer - take him. * There is an insightful analysis of the wider context of Bean’s dislike of composites (Hurley’s ‘misrepresentation’ and ‘showmanship’) here if you would like to explore this issue further.
I am keenly awaiting the arrival of The Diaries of Frank Hurley 1912-41 and can highly recommend, Frank Hurley – A Photographer’s Life by Alasdair McGregor* (which I have used as a source of quotes and facts for this post) if you want to learn more about this extraordinary photographer’s life and images. johnmenadue.com/trev…, “Our big mistake was teaching them to read.

GREAT, GREAT photographer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think one can safely disagree.
His skills would prove vital to the expedition’s survival. This is no doubt the best teacher I have ever had at ECU. He would go on to work on various feature and documentary films and be appointed an official war photographer in the Second World War as well. He had built his experience and demonstrated his talent with various Studio employers before his daredevil nature led him to stand on train tracks in the path of oncoming steam engines and take a series of risky photos that brought him to prominence. He tells you exactly what he wants, and he rewards you for doing it. “…had a long argument with Hurley who wants to be able to make ‘composite’ pictures for his exhibition” *.

I am currently studying Hurley and his photographs in a university history subject, Australian popular culture. Students understand the significance of Australia's British heritage, the Westminster system and other models that influenced the development of Australia's system of government. Go to class and listen, its a guaranteed A! I love the story of Frank Hurley (1885-1962).

Bean wanted an accurate record of the places Australians fought before the battlefield landscape changed. He gives you the freedom to write about what interests you and is flexible in discussing topics that you are passionate about. The skills you will learn are invaluable. Later that year, as World War 1 broke out, he joined the ill-fated expedition of the British explorer Ernest Shackleton to Antarctica. There is a school of thought that perceives an integrity in taking a shot perfectly captured, in-camera, without post-processing.
