The 'Street Photography 1930 - 1950's' exhibition showcases the mid-20th century commercial street photographers who were a familiar sight on Sydney's streets capturing everyday people as they strode by or stopped to pose.  Taken against the vibrant background of the city streets, these photographs captured candid moments in the lives of millions of people from uniformed servicemen and women to post-war migrants exploring their new city and young couples out for day on the town. This extraordinary exhibition and largely unseen record of Sydney and its people, draws together photos from hundreds of private family albums and is a must to see. Following the exhibition we will wander over to the Woolloomooloo Bay Hotel for lunch.  When registering please include your member number and mobile phone number.
