By: Macdonald, Ian Cranleigh, 1946-

Reference: OHInt-1002-02

Description: Interview with Ian Macdonald, born in Birkenhead in 1946. Talks about his family background and his father being a primary school teacher. Discusses living for a period in a Maori community at Arapaoa (Northland) where they were the only Pakeha family. Mentions attending Westlake Boys High School and then joining the Shaw Savill merchant navy in 1963. Recalls his experiences on ships overseas and on the New Zealand coast, and coming ashore after nine years. Refers to taking a graphic design course at the Auckland Technical Institute and his transition to the Elam School of Fine Arts. Lists classmates and teachers at Elam and explains how he came to major in photography. Outlines his early career - setting up a photography lab in Taranaki with Fiona Clarke, working as exhibitions officer at the Auckland City Art Gallery, being pictures editor for Peter Webb's magazines 'The New Zealander' and 'Art New Zealand' (1978), and setting up Real Pictures with Rob Giles. Outlines setting up the Real Pictures gallery in 1979, the exhibition space, and its operations and programming. Details the background to a Springbok Tour exhibition, police and public reception of the exhibition, and surveillance of it by the military. Explains his role photographing the Whirinaki Forest Action Group campaign events, and being a publicist for lobby groups working to protect native forests. Recalls meeting Mark Adams and Haruhiko Sameshima. Talks about setting up Sharp Black & White as a PEP (Project Employment Programme) scheme with Mark Adams, Paul Barton, Trish Allen and Marie Shannon.
