Early Life
Carter was born to Percy and Doris Carter in August 1928 in Melbourne, Victoria, and attended Melbourne Boys High School.

His first photos were taken with a Kodak Box Brownie, given to him as a 13th birthday present.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“... goodness is of a modest nature, easily discouraged, and when much elbowed in early life by unabashed vices, is apt to retire into extreme privacy, so that it is more easily believed in by those who construct a selfish old gentleman theoretically, than by those who form the narrower judgments based on his personal acquaintance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“The life of a good man is a continual warfare with his passions.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
