For 25 years, timeless images of Melbourne's historic maritime gateway have been stored in a drawer, waiting to be brought to light. Then, the area was cordoned off with fences, and the deserted old dock was derelict, abandoned and unloved. A magnificent old topsail schooner, the Alma Doepel, loomed ghostly against the fading light of the day. Now, printed and framed, 50 of these images will be featured in a photographic exhibition on 4 September at Docklands' Magnet Galleries, entitled ‘Last Light on Victoria Dock 1999’. Every photographer knows that photographic images grow in power over time.
