George Caddy (1914–1983) was an Australian dancer and photographer. Caddy emerged as a significant photographer of social activities on Bondi Beach in his day, only when hundreds of his photographs were re-discovered in 2007, among them the only existing documentation of an historic beach acrobatic club. ==Early life== Born in Melbourne, Victoria, Caddy moved with his family to Sydney in 1929 when he was 15. His father left the family when Caddy was 17 and the family was living in Bondi. The young Caddy found a job as a paper pattern cutter for the ''Australian Home Journal'' in 1936, taking up photography and competitive dancing in his spare time. By the time he was 20 he had become a champion jitterbug dancer. Photographs in magazines from that period show him with Mavis Lang, the reigning Australian jitterbug champion at the time. From 1936 until 1941 he spent most weekends down at the beach, photographing his friends who were members of a local gym and becoming known as a dancer with the nickname "The Bondi Jitterbug".〔(Sydney Morning Herald, "Muscle beach party," by Steve Meacham, 8 January 2009 )〕 Both activities came to an end when he enlisted in the army. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Caddy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
