                                                 A new post from Wheeler Winston Dixon




CCRN Sandra Lindsay, after getting her 2nd dose of COVID vaccine:


“I feel hopeful today. I feel like healing is coming. I hope this marks the beginning of the end 

of a very painful time in our history. I have no fear. I trust the science. What I don’t trust is

getting COVID-19, because I don’t know how it will affect me and the people around me 

that I could potentially transfer the virus to. I want to be a part of the solution to put an end 

to this pandemic once and for all.”

Our friend Nigel Buesst. A friendship of so many years, 62 years since we first met. Plenty of water under the bridge.

One day I was on counter duties, receiving films returning from borrowers and handing out films to other borrowers.

I think it was the CSIRO film group and Nigel was collecting another bundle which they would run in an upcoming programme. A short conversation of a few minutes at the counter established that we were both interested in making films and soon enough we became close friends. Nigel was about to shoot “Fun Radio” which was a real buzz for me. He asked me to shoot a few shots from his fancy sports car so I got to operate his new Bolex camera for a tracking shot or two as ...

Eyeless in Gaza, images from the net.

          Eyeless in Gaza...   Footnotes:   I wanted to leave these images up clear of any text. My friend Richard suggested we should acknowledge the sources so I've made a big effort to track them down out of respect for the incredible job they do, and especially for their courage, working in the dangerous zones where so many aid workers and journalists have lost their lives. But some are not credited on the pages of publications I drew them from. Here's a list I've just completed, numbered from the image No.1 at top of page down to the final one, No.9  1.
