Confusion by Leanne LindsayConfusion by Leanne Lindsay
In the dark, abandoned tunnels below Sydney, people try to find their way, but the light is confusing for it does not give direction but shines in all directions while still not giving off enough light to show the way. The people stop to get their bearing, to find their way, but it is hopeless. The harshness of the lights and shadows forbodes the stark and unfriendly world they find themselves in. The darkness is oppressive, and it seems to close in on the two people who are walking through the tunnel. The shadows are menacing, and they suggest that there is something dangerous lurking in the darkness. The light from the bulbs is not enough to dispel the darkness, and it only makes the shadows seem more frightening.
Painted Silos by Leanne LindsayPainted Silos by Leanne Lindsay
Out and about exploring around NSW with my camera in hand, we came across these Painted Silos at The Foundations, Portland (about 40 minutes west of Lithgow). The silos were painted in April and May 2018 by artist Guido Van Helten. The six individuals represented in the artwork are all former employees who shared their recollections of working at the Portland Cement Works and how their lives have been impacted by the industry in their town. You will see painted silos all around Australia - they make a great canvas for artists. My dream is to photograph all of them eventually.
The King – Basking in the Sun by Leanne Lindsay
Getting in nice and close to see all the detail in this majestic face. I also love the way he was resting on his paw and enjoying the sun. The King, so majestic, yet so peaceful. It was amazing to be up so close to this amazing animal. He wasn't the least bit bothered by me. He must have had a full belly. I struggle sometimes to capture the detail in a photograph so with this one, I was focusing on the detail - the way he was leaning on his paw, the way his eyes were closed so peacefully, the way the sun lit up his golden mane. Perfection!
