Oggy. “Finding myself in Perth in 1975, I enrolled into a degree course at WAIT the following year and started work as the west coast correspondent for Tracks Magazine. My first child was born in Perth in 1977. Doing full time study and working odd jobs to survive left little money to buy camera equipment and taking surf trips south or north, so I had to be a bit inventive to get material for Tracks magazine. Often my photos and stories had little to do with surfing, and I was developing a reputation for quirky images. During the time I worked for Tracks I tended to concentrate on people and their stories.
I have been going through some old WA negs and found these Perth Metro surf images.”
