Synopsis
The Australian woolshed is steeped in history and folklore. These buildings symbolise the harshness of the land and are a testament to farmers’ ingenuity and resourcefulness.
From Andrew Chapman, the bestselling author of Woolsheds, comes a stunning new photographic book, Around The Sheds, which explores the world of the woolsheds across Australia – the shearers, the roustabouts, the dogs, the cooks, the dunnies and, of course, the sheds themselves.
While much has changed since white settlement and the early days of the woolshed, much has stayed the same, and the characters you'll meet on this visual journey share a common link: an abiding passion for the wool industry and the land that sustains it.

Hardback. 1112. From Andrew Chapman, the best-selling author of Woolsheds, comes a stunning new photographic book exploring the world around the sheds - the shearers, the roustabouts, the dogs, the dunnies and the sheds themselves. On his photographic odyssey, Andrew Chapman takes us on a visual journey where much has changed from those early days, yet so much remains the same. Andrew has travelled to every state and taken a snapshot of an industry that has had its ups and downs, but like a punch-drunk boxer always manages to get back off the floor and go another round. Through Andrew Chapman's lens we meet farmhands, roustabouts, cooks, woolgrowers and even a one-armed shearer, all who share a common link - a declared passion for an aspect of Australian life that is in danger of disappearing altogether. Andrew Chapman's camera is just a tool; what really matters is his eye. He sees things: shed workers unconsciously replicating a scene from a Tom Roberts painting; the visual poetry in an arrangement of dilapidated chairs or tumbledown timber; abstracts constructed from wool-bale stencils; the patina of age on fences and gates; a wrist-watch suspended on a hook by its metal bracelet band. He works with a keen appreciation of the most crucial element in photography: the light. -- Alan Atwood 2012. First edition. A fine, unmarked copy. Seller Inventory # 7834674
