Met a man named Nigel Gaunt in Broome, Australia a couple of weeks ago. He might have preferred to be elsewhere on a Sunday afternoon, but some behemoth Princess Something cruise liner was due to inflict hundreds of passengers on Broome's Chinatown, so there he sat behind the desk in his photo gallery.
I think Nigel's work reflects calm - or patience, maybe - and the clarity of the outback. He used a camp fire, a flashlight and a long exposure to draw the most striking lighting effects from a photo (that I can't find on his web site) of a boab tree at dusk.
Nigel also puts on photo tours into the outback that would just have to be fun. Drop by and enjoy his web site, Red Dirt Photography.
