My Queensland Love Affairs
Last weekend Trent from RaiChase – a railway photography blog that is definitely worth seeing – suggested that the photos that appear on this blog were stunning. Obviously that’s Trent’s way of stating that he is totally delusional but just in case you need any further convincing I present these two photos.
The first will show that since coming to Queensland I’ve developed a love affair for chain-link fences

This photo was taken at Bundaberg in May 2006.
I still hadn’t lost my love for chain-link fences when I was in Rockhampton in August this year and took this photo.

You will also notice that I’ve developed some new ones like a passion for poor lighting and poles as well. So I guess that just goes to show I’m really about as average as everyone else
Next week I’ll take you down to Sydney to spend a Saturday afternoon at Enfield back in the late 1960s. Those are black and white photos and are among the earliest photos I took.

Oi, no more chainlink fences, you’re bringing the standard down

Well I was hoping to get away with it by telling people that it added grit and realism – you know, if you can’t dazzle them with brilliance then you better baffle them with the other stuff – but I guess that isn’t working (sigh).
She who must be obeyed has decreed that I shall receive an TTL digital camera for Christmas so perhaps my love affair with chain link fences will soon fade away
