The family and friends as seen through the Doctor’s movies

Doctor Woods - Part 1. Who are you L.S.Woods?
This is what I've found from archives and contributions, from the reports of general meetings of clubs and societies, obituaries, autopsies, published fame and notoriety, and things he'd probably like to forget - like the Pyjama Girl Case.
Doctor Woods - Part 2. Albury
Looking at the town of Albury and linking its events to those that are in two films, Views around Albury and Shots at Random around Albury.
Doctor Woods - Part 3. Becoming a Filmmaker
His first cameras, learning the craft, titles (thank you) and then losing the rigour and becoming a home movie maker. Splices and dirty edges.
Doctor Woods - Part 4. A country doctor's life
The family movies. The people he clearly loved, what interested him - (which at the end of his life - Merimbula with his fishing mates )
