Propelled by a roving, youthful spirit, this latest volume of whimsical and sometimes disturbing travel photographs takes the viewer from the Australian outback to Yemen, Kenya, Thailand, and back again, with odd stops in-between. As much fact as they are fiction, these images are worth poring over again and again.

Each photograph is shaped by incidents experienced as a traveller. His photographs extend upon the tradition of the gazetteer; each photograph a record of an experience, a personal account of an encounter somewhere in the world. Each glimpse is part of an unfolding story rather than simply a record of a place observed. While travel underscores his production Pam’s photographs are not the accidental evidence of a tourist. - Gary Dufour

Max Pam is one of Australia's most important contemporary photographers. Working as a professional since the early 1970s he is among a handful of Australians to make a substantial impact on the intensely competitive international photographic scene.
