...Children of the postmodernist late '80s, when large-scale color photography stepped boldly onto the world stage, Moffatt's minx, Henson's nymphs and Laing's flying bride have been among the most reproduced images in Australian art. Crombie helped define the moment, co-curating 1990's "Twenty Contemporary Australian Photographers: From the Hallmark Cards Australian Photographic Collection," and 17 years later the medium she returns to is quieter and less declarative. Walking through "Light Sensitive" at the Ian Potter Centre, one could be forgiven for thinking that the era of the defining image has passed. Pictures prefer to slink...

"People haven't been talking about Tom Cruise like they have in the past couple of weeks," says veteran publicist Liz Rosenberg. "I mean, [his public affection for Holmes] is a little freaky to watch, but that's what enthralls people about it." As an admiring publicist put it, "As usual, Tom has the media exactly where he wants them." That's for sure. All he did was spend an hour with Oprah--and, look, we wrote a page...
