Greg is a 'slow photography' true believer and coordinator of the analogue photography group at the Melbourne Camera Club.

Greg's grandparents, Septimus and Marion Sweeny, took up a soldier settlement dairy farm in Walpole, south west Western Australia in 1946.

He grew up spending summer holidays on the farm along with his brothers, helping grandad with farmwork and milking.

With his brothers they roamed around the area and met many of their grandparents' neighbours.

This experience has always stayed with him.

Greg trained as a traditional photographer in the RAAF and has continued his life long love of analogue photography. Over the past 30 years he has shot many images of buildings and farms that reminded him of Walpole.

The photographs in the exhibition are all hand printed from his negatives. He does not claim they are of soldier settler properties, just that they remind him of them.
