taller than a memory
Sydney 1982 - I visited here as a child and took many photos. My eldest son was asking me what sort of photos I took when I was his age and whether I was any good back then. So we found an old photo album that had this and a whole bunch of other Sydney and Melbourne photos - this photo stood out for me and reminded me of some of my architectural shots that I take today. I actually remember taking this shot, looking up and around in wonder in this iconic Australian city. But most of the photos in the album were pretty ordinary - I explained that taking photos back then involved taking the shot and not realising whether they were any good until weeks or months later when you got the film developed. By then you had no idea what settings you used ... and you were limited to 24 or 36 photos before the film (which was expensive) ran out. So much has changed.
