Musings of a displaced Australian Photographer in Seattle, USA
Over the next fortnight I’m travelling to the UK so there’s going to be a brief pause in the regular activity on the blog for a while. I’m going to be spending a lot of time in London and the surrounding areas. If you’re in the UK and would like to meet up, I’m going...
It was pure happenstance that I came upon this particular image while shooting with great mates Bob Lussier and Brian Matiash on the east coast recently.
