Two Brunswick galleries

"Morganna Magee: Teenage Wildlife" (Counihan Gallery)

Documentary-style photos of three teenage girls - all related to each other - who have become teen mothers in country Australia (Victoria I think). Good, and made better by the accompanying text contextualising them.

"Daisy and her mother" (2016)


"Cinta Vidal: Urban" and "Chris Leib: Primate Directive" (Beinart Gallery)

I liked the city ones with their sidelong perspectives, especially the Asian ones (eg Hong Kong), maybe because they tended to be a bit busier. The primate ones weren't my style - too garishly pop/kitsch.
