At 17, with Frances, sister of school acquaintance, Psychology classmate and cheerful photographic subject, I sought photographic adventure high on Mt Coot-tha (200m). We crept into the chapel of a Catholic girls’ school and pretended that we were part of the furniture. Nobody seemed to mind us being there, really. The school has a stunning view and a magnificant chapel in the clouds.
