  Alasdair McGregor and Simon Nasht discuss the life and work of Frank Hurley, including his work in the Antarctic and his stunning visual archive of major events both at home and overseas over a dinner discussion at the National Library.  The Library re-issued the book Frank Hurley: A Photographers Life, written by McGregor, portraying the life and career of Australia's first internationally recognised photographer and highlighting the sacrifices and risks to obtain the 'perfect' photo.  Image: Frank Hurley (1885-1962), Frank Hurley and Maslyn Williams looking out over the Kidron Valley towards Jerusalem, Mount of Olives, Palestine, 1940?
