One of his first projects was documenting  a group

of his friends who were performing a drag show

at the famous Albury Hotel on Oxford St.

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.
