End of a wilderness era
The widow of celebrated Tasmanian wilderness photographer Peter Dombrovskis is winding down the family business, signalling the end of his range of cards, diaries and calendars, according to ABC Radio.
Mr Dombrovskis’ photographs of the Tasmanian wilderness helped shape the conservation debate, most notably during the Franklin Dam dispute in the early 1980’s, and especially his iconic photograph, above, the centrepiece of the campaign.
Liz Dombrovskis has been reprinting his photographs since his death in 1996, but says she is closing West Wind Press to spend more time with her grandchildren.
“We’ll over the next year run the cards and posters and books and calenders out of stock,” Mrs Dombrovskis said.
“But photographic prints will still be available,” she said.
