Musings of a displaced Australian Photographer in Seattle, USA
If it isn’t already obvious… the finer weather that I’m seeing in the past couple of weeks is making me relish shooting wide-angle landscapes again. UrbEx and Architecture images are great, but landscape images have really eluded me over the winter and I’ve been really looking forward to getting back into them. I’ve been digging...
My story today is a special one for me. During the summer of 2009 (which is really the winter of 2009 in the USA) I visited my home state of Tasmania in Australia for a large family Christmas gathering. I spent around two weeks in Tassie as we affectionately call it, visiting many of the...

One of the things I most enjoy about photographing on location somewhere is when a shot turns out as you’d hoped it would as you were shooting it. Today’s image is another image from my time up in Whistler, but it could very well be anywhere in the world where snow gathers around railroad tracks....
