Painted 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.
Harbour Bridge 2 by Leanne Lindsay
There's something about seeing this iconic landmark in black and white that makes it feel even more timeless, don't you think? I took this photograph, in black and white, one day when I was in the city for some street photography. I can't help myself - once I get to the Sydney Harbour Bridge, I have to photograph it from every angle and from every perspective. It doesn't matter how many photographs I have of this magnificent bridge I always need more.
Laughing Clowns by Leanne Lindsay
I have had a fear of clowns from when I was a small child. It's not just a fear, it's a phobia. To try to get over this phobia, whenever I am in Sydney, I try to go to Luna Park and photograph clowns at every opportunity. These ones were a safe option, as they weren't actually 'real' clowns, but I don't think it's helping. In fact, I think they're just laughing at me.
