Just as powerful in the written word as your images bud. Got me hanging for the next instalment and would love to read more of these travel-related tales into the future.

As someone who lives just down the road from Wiluna - relatively speaking - this is a really compelling read and I'm looking forward to Part 2. I love seeing our remote part of the world captured so thoughtfully in words and images, like you've done.

Thoroughly enjoying these stories and newsletters, Adam - thanks for sharing.

What an amazing experience Adam.

It is a shame you were unable to get pics at Warburton, I feel they would have been amazing!

In saying that, the moment you had where you finally went out with your camera, you had the respect to not make the image. I wonder how many others in the same position and investment would have been so respectful.

Thankfully you are also good with your words, so there is still a version of the images in my mind.

I am looking forward to reading the next part of this journey Adam.

Cheers.

From the pix I've seen of Western Australia, the sun sure LOOKS as bright as here in SW USA. It is hard to get a good pic with a variable "tan" background. You placed your subject well - right in the center - and she spoke for the rest of the image.

Now here's what I'd like to know: the technical details of Paul Ratje's Haitian refugee photos on the Texas border. How did he get those great pix, what kind of depth of field was working with or planning, if he could plan at all. He was there in the middle of the action. He knows his subjects, both the Border Patrol and the immigrants. It'd be interesting to have you ask him the pertinent questions.

Anxious to here the second part of your story. Indigenous people's not trusting white people. I didn't know this existed in Australia as well. Sounds very similar to the native Americans here in the US. How did you get ride of the guy who wanted to manage you? Did you ever run into him again?
