A pillar of the surf media for the last four decades? Well it’s kinda true but doubt Peter Wilson would want to be spoken of as such, because pillars aren’t too mobile.
Ever since, photography has taken him down some interesting paths: from a young long-hair calling the PR shots amid the buzz cuts of the Australian Defence Force; to head of staff at Deakin University’s photography department; on the road covering Prime Ministers, rock royalty, and the Dalai Lama; to a long stint with Quiksilver as their Australasian marketing, media and promo guy.
