Interesting subject, Anthony. I like the stiff, jutting jaw of the blonde
police officer--very stern looking there. Enjoyed seeing these. Cheers,
Christine

I sent the following almost a day ago and it hasn't shown up in my

Loggers and preservationists faced off in the mountains near Eden, New
South Wales, in 1989. Police presence kept tempers in check. It was
a running campaign of protests and counter protests, with the loggers
blockading roads to keep preservationists away from logging sites, and
the "greenies" attempting to infiltrate the blockaded areas overnight.
After some days everyone got bored and went home.
I was there for a client with some Pentaxes and a ship-load of
Kodachrome. IIRC I used a Pentax SMC-M 24~35 1:3.5 for these shots.
It was damn cold, and snow was on the mountain peaks. At the summit
of one mountain, where the police had their radio communication centre
set up in a caravan, I had to put my cameras inside my coat between
shots to keep the batteries alive.
These shots make me a little nostalgic for film. The time I spent
retouching fungus off the images cured that nostalgia.
