BOOK LAUNCH & PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION - " A Portrait of Cars - Road Warriors of Fremantle"

For the past 10 years, local photographer Ben Reynolds has been documenting the car culture in Fremantle. For the local 'Road Warriors in Freo', the weekend drive from Captain Munchies on Beach Street along the Cappuccino Strip where Market Street gives way to South Terrace, down to South Beach and then back around again is lovingly referred to as 'The Bog Lap'. It is a uniquely Western Australia pastime, that dates back to the 70s and 80s.

This book and photography exhibition is the last hurrah for that culture and these inimitable streets. It is Bens contribution to a passing car culture, which once celebrated difference and diversity, where each and every car looked and sounded different. So too the businesses that line the streets on which those cars drive, now giving way to lookalike franchises. That, however, is the beauty of photography – to hold a moment for all eternity, in all its multi-coloured, sun-kissed splendour.BOOK LAUNCH & PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION - " A Portrait of Cars - Road Warriors of Fremantle"
