NGV, Ian potter is having a photographic exhibition of Rennie Eliis' photography later this month. If you are into street photography, this is the show for you.

And a word to all those big camera zealots out there, his main camera? An Olympus XA.

Rennie Ellis saw his photographic excursions as a series of encounters with other people's lives. His photos can be as straight-forward and blatant as a head-butt or infused with enigmatic subtleties that draw on the nuance of gesture and the significance of ritual. Often his images ask more questions than they answer.
