Small Pictures — Tim C. Taylor

It's a moment of truth for Jeff, a South Australian parliamentarian about to spearhead a new anti-terrorism law that will mean the end of civil liberties. 'Nothing to hide, nothing to fear' is the catch cry. This short story is a brief moment in Jeff's life that brings about a significant change in emphasis. He meets Anton while awaiting the choral competition in which both their daughters will perform. It's Anton, who has recently undergone chemotherapy, that helps Jeff see that it's small pictures that really matter.
