Welcome to our very first ARGUS zine edition!

To introduce our exciting new format, we have compiled a collection of our very best works from 2012 for your viewing pleasure.

In our main feature ‘Welcome to Labour Room, Griffith graduate Kelly MacIlvenny shows the complexities of being an expecting mother in rural Nepal. We showcase works from the 2012 Cambodia Special Project on issues in the war torn region in our Gobal section, and on the home front, we explore local stories of heroic ventures, heartbreaking challenges, and the humour in cultural differences. You can view our outstanding stand alone images in our best of 2012 Singles.

Welcome to the new ARGUS
