William Stanley Moore, 1 May 1925, Central Police Station, Sydney
This picture is one of a series of around 2500 “special photographs” taken by New South Wales Police Department photographers between 1910 and 1930. These “special photographs” were mostly taken in the cells at the Central Police Station, Sydney and are, as curator Peter Doyle explains, of “men and women recently plucked from the street, often still animated by the dramas surrounding their apprehension”.

The Astronaut Sucides by Neil Dacosta and Sara Phillips

When you were literally on top of the world, the only place to go from there is down, down, down. And that couldnt be truer for our courageous astronauts, once serving proudly in the Parthenon of Heroic Occupations along with firefighters and policeman, although the astronaut stood (floated?) even higher than them all, because they saved lives… IN SPACE. This series is meant to evoke the death of the dream, how many more children will grow up wishing to be don the big plastic diaper, how many will fantasize about one day travelling to Space Camp, regardless of age? With no one left to inspire, what other choice does the astronaut have, really? See the various outcomes at astronautsuicides.
