The actual photographs aren't hugely remarkable - but the series is.

This is another from my "Rotation" series. His name is Tom. I picked him up on the side of the road about 1km outside of a town. He'd gotten a ride into town with some people he knew to buy a jerry can of petrol and couldn't find them after 3 hours. It sounded like they'd abandoned him. I'm not sure how old he was, but he decided in 35c heat to walk home. The walk is about 40km and he had no water with him and a heart condition and no medication. So I offered him a lift and heard some interesting stories.

Mate, you should consider selling these to your employer as some kind of pr/marketing imagery for recruitment. They're just getting better and better. Great work

I don't think the copious amounts of alcohol would go down to well for the company image!!!

What are you mining and is it long shifts and hard work?

Oh and are most of the people Australian?

Just some curious questions, hope you don't mind. Would add a liitle flavour for me.

I work as a surveyor in the Coal Seam Gas (CSG) industry so there is no underground stuff at all. I basically walk along imaginary lines that engineers/construction people have deemed to be the best place to place gas wells and where pipelines should be and mark them out in fields, forests etc..... As we all know, engineers are great.....and know exactly what they're talking about from behind their desks. It's never that simple!
