Kerosene: Terrific image at the Marriott. How did you get it with no people peering over the railings?

Thanks, John. It was a busy Saturday evening and I was there with a small group who had permission to shoot. F 16 and a 3 minute exposure took care of any onlookers. If you're interested, I recommend looking up Dean Stevenson's Atlanta Photo Workshops on Meetup; he takes care of tripod permissions and the logistics for a very reasonable fee. There is one more Marriott workshop in the hopper and one more shoot at the Fox; both of these locations will soon be off limits to groups soon...
Garradunga Hotel, Front Bar
Gelatin-silver photograph on Freestyle Private Reserve VC FB photographic paper, image size 16.4cm X 21.4cm, from a 67 format Tmax 400 rollfilm negative exposed in a Mamiya RB67 single lens reflex camera fitted with a 37mm f4.5 fisheye lens.
The Garradunga Hotel is an isolated building surrounded by thousands of hectares of sugar cane fields in the hot tropics of Far North Queensland, Australia. In more than a hundred years it has slaked the thirst of bands of cane cutters blackened by the harvest of burnt cane. It has been a haven for railway passengers stranded for days or weeks by wet season flood waters over the tracks. The Kanakas, indentured labourers from the pacific islands, virtual slaves, have come and gone at Garradunga.
The old pub is under new management, the steak sandwiches are filling, the beer is cold. And yes, atop the cold drinks cabinet at the right is a preserved crocodile head.

Nana,
I would have to say your photography and your sax playing are equally super. Super talent.
