Photo from Ed Smidt record of Albany

Ed Smidt’s photographic record of Albany and its people, ships and whales is unrivalled. He also captured moments of his adventure-filled life as he sailed as far as South Africa, and was once marooned for days on Eclipse Island (off the coast of Albany).

This stunning exhibition explores the life of this extraordinary man through photographs, installations and an oral history from Smidt, recorded a few months before he died.

NOTE: This free exhibition will be held at Lesser Gallery, Albany Town Hall, not the Western Australian Museum.

A Great Southern Festival Commission in association with the Smidt Family, The Western Australian Museum and Voiceprints.
