One friend in this group also happened
to be the Arts Editor
at a local gay newspaper,
Capital Q.
Tom was offered
the job of staff photographer,
and then spent the next two years
or so documenting
that golden age of gay
life in Sydney.
Folly of Gossip is a joyous
romp up and down Oxford St, treasured
yet forgotten moments from
a simpler time.
