Harlemville V by Clare Richardson (2000)
This photograph was taken in Harlemville, a small community in North America which adheres to the writings of philosopher Rudolf Steiner and his Waldorf schooling system. Their beliefs imbue children with a unique sensibility and immersion with their environment that offers an alternative to mainstream American society.


As French photographer, and father of modern photojournalism, Henri Cartier-Bresson aptly said, "Photography is a supreme moment captured with a single shot." At Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum's ongoing exhibition, titled Something That I'll Never Really See, you can catch 40 of those supreme moments, allowing you insights into a new world.

Keen train-spotter-turned-artist Andrew Cross travels widely in the USA and Europe documenting freight routes as a kind of meditation about where transport links go and what cargo is carried on them.
