PhotoForum at 40 : counterculture, clusters, and debates in New Zealand / Nina Seja ; forewords by Geoffrey H. Short and Linda Tyler with essays by John B. Turner and Athol McCredie.

"The book PhotoForum at 40: Counterculture, Clusters, and Debate in New Zealand is a book to commemorate, reflect, and celebrate a wide body of New Zealand photographs that have been published in the photography journal PhotoForum, and displayed in their exhibitions. It offers an unwritten history of the communities, relationships, and events that have shaped photographers and the images they make. This book bring together some significant images and portfolios (for example, those by Peter Peryer, Murray Cammick, Anne Noble, and Fiona Clark), and highlights the most pertinent and illuminating critical thinking and explosive debates about photographic practice in articles and reviews published in PhotoForum journal. Importantly, through the rich traces of never-seen-before contemporaneous personal correspondences between photographers and editors across the period, plus fresh interviews with key protagonists, PhotoForum at 40 contributes an original take on the more personal qualities of photography and the ways in which communities, friendships, debates, and dialogue have informed the photographic arts in New Zealand"--Publisher's information.
