In 2003, photographerTrent Parke and his partner Narelle Autio set off on a journey around Australia. But this was far from a quaint sight-seeing tour. Parke and Autio delved into what Parke describes as "dark country", the places far from the easy gentility of the major cities. The result is his remarkable photo-essay Minutes to Midnight. This essay documents an Australia rarely seen by any one individual. From the glittering cities to brutality of life in the bush; from the shining faces of hopeful children to the trenchant hopelessness of those affected by alcohol and drugs, this is an excellently constructed essay and one that's also deeply affecting.
