Sentinel

By Richard Bruxner.
Each year, after the first big rains, the undergrowth in Darwin’s coastal monsoonal vine forests is covered with the tiniest, most exquisite little fungi. They’re not easy to photograph, as lighting and conditions are often tough, but I really like the calm feel, and sense of scale, of this shot.

NY88

By Blane Coulcher.
This is an old picture taken with my old Pentax KM, plus unknown lens back in 1988″¦ and so obviously film. The quality is so-so having been scanned from an old print. But after all these years this is still a favourite as I wonder what was going through the American’s mind as he stared at the Statue of Liberty that summer morning. So many stories, so many memories, so many hopes. I send this, not for the quality, but for the composition and emotion.
