A Foto Show To See. Perth is the kind of city that has all the makings of a great college town—reasonable rents (although food costs more here than anywhere else) near enough to teaching institutions, reasonably safe, too boring for outside distractions, adequate public transport system.       That promise has not necessarily manifested itself as it could have, due to the Howard Government’s viciously anti-educational policies (although they’re keen to fund secondary schooling for the rich), but there is a unique offering here in a much-ignored field of art—photography. Edith Cowan University (ECU) offers perhaps the best course of its kind in Australia.       Many remarkable world-class photographers have come out of Perth. It may be a great place to learn, but you’d be crazy to try to make a living in it here. Some of the stay-behinds have created a festival of photography that I hope will be the first of a long run, and ECU has an opening of their student show tonight in Fremantle.       The festival is called Foto Freo. Many of those who have had to leave in order to live are also showing here during the festival, and are back in town physically as well as photographically. 10:17:18 AM    Add a comment.
