Merl La Voy in the Solomon Islands

La Voy travelled extensively in the Pacific and published fifty-five photographs in the Sydney Mail, in a four-part series titled "With a camera in the Solomon Islands". In this series, La Voy made an interesting study of the people and their culture preferring portraits and villages scenes.
