Martin Place was a great source of images. My special time was near high summer, when the western sun illuminated the canyon like a studio spotlight as the early evening exodus from the offices began. Punctuated by the AWA radio tower piercing the western sky the chasm of the street was fertile and vital, expressing the essence of the city to my youthful eyes.

This photograph was included in the David Moore 100 Photographs series that toured the State Library of NSW (titled David Moore 100 photographs) in late 2005. The exhibition then travelled to Monash Gallery of Art, Melbourne, in 2006, changing its title to David Moore A Vision, 1927-2003; and then to Bendigo Art Gallery (2006), Shepparton Art Gallery (2006), Albury Regional Art Gallery (2007), Gold Coast City Art Gallery (2007), Wollongong City Gallery (2007), Mildura Arts Centre (2008), and finally to LaTrobe Regional Gallery (2008). A Limited Edition of the series was also produced.
