ABOUT US…
We both have a passionate interest in the arts, and are experienced photographers. We met at the QAGOMA book club. Discovering that we both had the same interests, we decided to collaborate in publishing a photographic book of Brisbane's brick buildings. We found many interesting examples, not just the old and the new, but also the re-purposed and rescued.
