Here’s a show for the summer! We want to see Bondi Jitterbug: George Caddy and his camera at the State Library of NSW until 22 February. Be sure to click the slideshow – and go to the Library Shop to see them all. This fabulously transgressive “beachobat”, (Roya Geale, Bondi Beach 1941) caught our eye in the press advertisements. If the date of this photograph really is 1941, it pushes back the history of the (illegal) two-piece a few more years… And, boy, this vernacular modernist makes Max Dupain look a bit sober…

    Fine shot of the bather receiving shoulder massage. I like the use of light, very natural.
    cheers
