Video duration: 298 seconds

In January 1982 Shenzhen, China was a small village only recently opened to tourists arriving from China. This is part of a video I shot there, walking around. I understand that Shenzhen is now a large, modern city.

Michael Leunig at the Melbourne Age Michael Leunig at the Melbourne Age

Video duration: 505 seconds

In the early 80's, Atex Australia shared office space (such as it was) with the cartoonist Michael Leunig at the Age in Melbourne. I had lugged a rather large, early home video system all the way to Melbourne from Boston. By chance, I had received one of Michael's books a few years earlier from a friend in Oz. The other guy in this video is Peter Gunn, an employee of Atex Australia.
