Philip Kuruvita takes his camera behind the garage doors of Launceston's motoring enthusiasts — photographing the restored vintage vehicles they keep, along with the owners and the stories behind their collections.
Kuruvita applies his documentary portrait approach to the private world of the collector, where decades of work and passion are stored out of public sight.
At 240 indexed pages with colour photography throughout, this is a record of a community and a passion that rarely gets documented.
A gift for anyone who loves vintage vehicles or knows a Launceston collector who might recognise themselves or their neighbours.
