Photography: The Justice & Police Museum

1

This week's photography spotlight comes from Australia's Justice & Police Museum. The museum is home to a vast negative archive documenting the early years of Sydney's unruly waterfront. I can't help but imagine the stories of these people's lives. There's something about their unflinching gazes that is so haunting.
