For three decades, Gordon Frankshot Delisle Brooks featured panoramas of iconic places like Lord’s and the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Yesterday at his funeral service at St George Parish Church, his adoring family and friends just wanted one last image of the departed photographer extraordinaire.
Brooks, who brought swagger, style and world-class skills to photography, was remembered by all and sundry as humble, endearing and easy to get along with, whether playing Scrabble at home or strolling on the south coast along Miami Beach.
