Lance Campbell has long experience of Adelaide. Born on Unley Road, he is an arts writer and multiple award-winning sports writer. He wrote By Popular Demand for the Adelaide Festival Centre's 25th anniversary, and Heart of the Arts for its 40th. He also collaborated on City Streets with Mick Bradley, which he describes as one of the more enjoyable diversions in his professional life. He was arts editor of the Adelaide Advertiser, arts and architecture editor of SALife magazine, has written satirical columns for the Adelaide Review, and has contributed to several books, including McLaren Vale: Trott's View.
Mick Bradley's work bridges the gap between documentary and fine art photography. Mick was born in London and came to Australia as a boy. His images tell stories from our lives from the 1970s on. He honed his craft as a fine art printer, darkroom operator and photographer. Mick created his own niche in the history of South Australian photography, while his work appears in books, exhibitions and collections throughout this country, in North America and in the United Kingdom. Mick Bradley died after a sudden illness in 2013.

'City Streets: Progressive Adelaide 75 years on, is an extraordinary book chronicling two very distinct eras of a capital city. A totally absorbing body of work taking the reader on an engaging stroll past Adelaide's street fronts of 75 years ago and today. It is a collector's item for anyone interested in architecture, history or urban development. It is also a unique book about a unique city. No photographic project of this scope has been attempted in Adelaide, and possibly in the world since Baring's book in 1936.' - Nic Klaassen, Flinders Ranges Research
