...Lewis Morley calls it "one of those boomerang photographs," as it's a picture that keeps bouncing back. And certainly Morley's silver-gelatin image of Swinging London call girl Christine Keeler?her notorious nudity concealed by shadow and a strategically placed chair?is a photographic icon that has cut through the vicissitudes of fashion. But the rest of Morley's 50-year career hasn't been so unapologetic, and it seems every few years the Hong Kong-born, English-trained and (for the past 35 years) Australian-based photographer is discovered anew. There have been retrospectives in London...
...Gallery of New South Wales curator Judy Annear was one of the curious ones. While visiting Morley's last show at Australia's National Portrait Gallery in 2003, she was struck by the idea that "there must be more to Lewis than portraiture and the '60s." Until then the decade had defined him. In 1961, he had lucked upon a photographic studio above Peter Cook's bohemian club The Establishment, which supplied him with a never-ending stream of talent wanting to be made famous, from Jean Shrimpton to Michael Caine.

...Rosemary morley doesn't deny that Toowoomba's water problem is grim. Like everyone else in this parched southeast Queensland city, she's been living with tough water restrictions for nearly three years.

...Next month Toowoomba will vote in a referendum on whether treated wastewater should make up 25% of the city's drinking water. With state and federal governments keenly awaiting the outcome, a heated contest is underway to win public favor. Morley, who founded the Citizens Against Drinking Sewage lobby group 10 months ago, says locals talk of little else: "People go to funerals and after a cup of tea what does the talk turn to? Water." Contrary to the popular image, that water wouldn't flow straight from their toilets to their taps. But though scientists insist that wastewater recycled...
...disseminate some of this information in an alternative language.”The aesthetic and cultural value of his work notwithstanding, it’s unclear whether or not students with similar interdisciplinary interests will be able to appreciate Knep’s work on a deeper level.N. Jack Morley ’08, a Visual and Environmental Studies-turned-Applied Math concentrator who also plans to apply to medical school, says that it’s difficult to relate to Knep’s work on more than an aesthetic level.“I think its hard...
