Thanks for the picture. Several more and we'll have something good happening. Carptrash 01:49, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- I may even be motivated enough to take some more of the ANZAC memorial, if you give me a month or two. I've been meaning to do some interior photography for some time - but it is not "officially permitted", so a degree of stealth is required :-) --Gene_poole 06:32, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- "Not officially permitted" too bad, the work inside is one of Hoff's finest, if I have it right. In America it is now illegal to take pictures of Federal Buildings [it's called "photo reconnaissance"] but it is usually possible to get permission. Perhaps if you tell the folks there that they are "acting like Americans" they will relent? Carptrash 13:22, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- The no cameras policy is not actively policed, but one still needs to be discrete. Funnily enough there is no such policy at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra (another great deco building - there are a few pics of it on my site). I've written a new article on the ANZAC War Memorial that might interest you - the external link there has a picture of part of the main interior sculputural group by Hoff, as well as a picture of one of his 2 controversial exterior bronzes that were never cast, and that have subsequently been lost.--Gene_poole 13:39, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- for many of us your pictures are what we get to see of Hoff's work [besides a few books] so keep trying. I emailed various museums who had Hoff 's stuff about about pictures and got back a price list. "No thanks." Carptrash 15:56, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
