West End.....a rare community.








Well I plunged into the digital era, purchased a new Nikon D700 a couple of months ago to partner my F5 and F100. I guess I have to give in, film is on the outer. I have to say this D700 is pretty special, the images are as good as anything I've shot on Velvia, wonderful colour and is sensational in low light.
One of the first places I decided to try out my D700 was West End. It's a wonderful old suburb of Brisbane on the southern side of the river. It's a place that's locked in time, the eclectic collection of shops and eateries are "the hang out" for a group of people that represent the interesting, the creative and the "wannabes".
I like to work in these urban areas, recording the life, the buildings and the creative energy.

Here's a selection of shots, a small photo essay of West End before the developers f..k it up.
