In 1948, Martin Place was a cohesive boulevard à I felt it was important to photograph this essential hub of Sydney, so I spent time entering buildings, pushing the top floor lift button and scurrying up the last flight of stairs to the roof, hoping to avoid being spotted by the resident caretaker. In most cases the door was unlocked and the city was mine à

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.
