As an update to my earlier post about the weather prospects in Sydney on Christmas Day, I can tell you that today, Boxing Day, I have just loaded some holders to go out and exploit the extraordinary light as the sun beats through a veil of smoke that covers the entire metropolis from scores of raging bush fires skirting the suburbs.

The light is slightly diffuse with about an 81C glow. Fearful of what the heightened red sensitivity of T-Max might do I have loaded Tri-X. My subject is not the fires or the fire-fighters - they don't need me and LF to further impede their efforts. I am doing a little number on the desolation of the suburb that is the birthplace of modern Australia.

Yesterday some 60 kms distant from the nearest flames we were rained on in the garden by charred twigs and branches . Over 20 families had their homes and possessions burnt to the ground for Christmas.

In a world where catastrophes like this happen readily and repeatedly why do we add to it with our acts of hostility.

This year we might all be living on the fault-line; let's not taunt it.

Enjoy the season ... Walter
