		The doyen of the genre was Peter Dombrovskis, whose famous photograph of a bend in the Franklin River helped save that wild waterway from the depredations of the Hydro-Electric Commission in the seventies.
		Dombrovskis frames his view with rocky cliffs on either side that accentuate its theatricality and stop our eye from wandering out of the picture: a common enough picturesque convention.
		Peter Timms was director of the Shepparton Art Gallery in the early 70s before moving to Sydney to become an exhibitions co-ordinator for the Australian Gallery Directors' Council in 1980.

		Peter Dombrovskis was born in 1945, in a World War II refugee camp in Wiesbaden, Germany, of Latvian parents.
		Dombrovskis received his first camera from his mother as a young boy in the 1960s.
		We go to the wilds to reaffirm our place in the natural scheme of things, to be rejuvenated by contact with elemental forces and to be reminded that the civilized baggage with which we complicate our lives is perhaps not so important to our happiness as the advertising man would claim.

	Faculty of Arts - University of Tasmania
		One effect of Dombrovskis' vision is the conflation of the idea of Tasmania with that of wilderness.
		Therefore Peter Dombrovskis, as both a conservationist and commercially successful photographer, is a useful example of the transformation of an environmental ethic into Tasmania as brand.
		His books have operated as sites for discourse on the future of an eco-friendly Tasmania, and the range of significant written texts which accompany and collaborate with his photographs contribute to a vision of Tasmania at the same time as enacting the brand.

		Dombrovskis took command and directed them down the two day paddle of the Gordon to Macquarie harbour, where they were collected by the cruise boat Denison Star.
		Dombrovskis despaired at the onrush of logging in the ancient rainforests and tall eucalypt forests of the state, at the destruction of Lake Pedder and the Pieman river.
		Dombrovskis did not compromise his picture taking for the sake of the wilderness campaign but he did ensure he went to relevant areas to take pictures.

	PhotoMedia Magazine : Summer 2005 : Guest View
		I came to understand that the magical quality in Dombrovskis’ images lay not only in the flawless technical merits of his work, but in his passion for showcasing something that he loved and that was at risk of disappearing.
		Peter once said that something of the photographer should be evident in every image; otherwise the photo is just a piece of paper.
		After Dombrovskis’ death, it was said that it was not so much that he photographed in protected areas, but that protected areas were created where he photographed.

		Even a soul as sensitive as Vivian Smith writes, of a 1940s childhood, that his strong sense of attachment to Hobart ceased abruptly at Mount Nelson and Mount Wellington, where the patient, menacing wilderness awaited its people-obliterating destiny.
		Peter Conrad, in Down Home, reserves his most vitriolic observation for the wilderness, for which he evinces an almost pathological hatred: 'down here, nature and human affection are incommensurate.
		The less exalted of us are 'Proud To Be Tasmanian', and we cheer lustily for David Boon and Gwen Harwood and Peter Hudson and Errol Flynn and other Tasmanians who have strode the larger stage with distinction.

	RealScreen - On the Slate
		Wildness is a 55-minute documentary from Melbourne-based prodco Big & Little Films that examines the legacy of two of Australia's best-known wilderness photographers, Olegas Truchanas and Peter Dombrovskis, artists who used their talents to raise awareness of the fragility of Australia's wild places, Tasmania in particular.
		Truchanas and Dombrovskis leveraged public opinion to the cause of conservation from the 1950s to the 1980s, when the Hydro Electric Commission was clear-cutting Tasmania's forest.
		Truchanas drowned in a boating accident in 1972; Dombrovskis died of a heart attack in 1996.

		Because Olegas and Peter were realistic enough to know that would be a lost cause, they each set out to photograph and document the wildness that would soon be lost.
		When he was drowned in the rapids, Peter took up the challenge of finishing the documentation.
		Peter, for instance, never includes people in his shots.

	Comparisons with contemporary Tasmanian landscape painters
		In the 1960s and 1970s, Truchanas and Dombrovskis used photography to show the unique places that were threatened by the Hydro Electric dam projects.
		Tasmanian artists Peter Stephenson (painter) and David Stephenson (photographer), both deal with the controversial issue of wood-chipping Tasmania’s forests.
		Peter Stephenson’s Woodchip Fairy, 1988 (gouache on paper), shows an armless human torso centrally placed in a denuded and desolate landscape; the one remaining tree- fragment a lone and desperate symbol.

		Peter did die too young, his work is quite good.

	Creativity for large format photographers
		The trick for me is to just find whatever it takes on a particular day or during a particular time period of phase to get me excited about photography and interpreting everything around me in a hugely visual way.
		Those from the northern hemisphere may be unfamiliar with his work, (and it is very poorly represented on the web) but he was an incredibly important artist down here.
		It hardly seems possible that 8 years have passed since his death, and now that the battle has moved on to the last great stands of old-growth forest, his passion and commitment, his ability to inspire awe in the natural environment are sorely missed.
