Photography

It is! I love cats. Poor Phoebe at my parents place gets locked up every time we visit... she doesnt just hate them, she has a HUGE phobia with them.
 

Had a look at the pic's and the ones of the Yeppoon Peace Rally (like the pics)

Off topic, but I noticed the comment on one of the pics

"We have a local bit of wilderness called Shoalwater Bay that the Aussies and Yanks are using for military training. A few of the local peace activists rang a few of their friends and they all converged on our sleepy little coastal village for a protest.

I still don't know what they were protesting about. While they do not currently use DU in their exercises, they have refused to promise they will never use it.

There were the manditory black barrels of dummy nuclear waste, people in yellow contamination suits, and the all-to-common theme of "Yankee go home".


As a boaty type who has purchased a "retirement home" in Rocky, on the river, so as to be able to cruise the pristine waters of Shoalwater Bay and surrounds, it scares the bejesus out of me that the Americans are allowed into this pristine area, and that they can shut down passing traffic from venturing in.

I can lose my boat for fishing in protected areas, but the military can drop bombs on it.

If you have a look at this site and others there is concern that Depleted Uranium (DU) rounds have been used in the area (although it is denied)

I would suggest that as American Military have turned every area they have had anything to do with into a toxic waste dump, that this is what people are protesting about

Here is some more info

There is a fair bit more if you google "DU birth defects shoalwater bay"

I could go on for hours about what I have seen in the area "after the event" pollution wise.

A very touchy subject for me and a lot of yachties and people in the area who don't want another "Subic Bay" to happen.

Didn't know we had other shooters here! I love seeing other peoples work, everyone has their unique style and "eye".

I just shoot cars for a living, so my work wouldn't be anything interesting to non revheads.

I use a 1dsmarkii (which is now out of date with the iii out) and a few typical lenses. This was my most recent shoot for Street Machine.
