ABUC. Many structures and buildings in Cuba are made from concrete, influenced by the Soviet presence after the revolution of 1959, including public seating and children's playgrounds. When I saw this structure the metaphor was not lost on me. Due to the strong sunset behind me I took the shot with the letters back to front, a nod to how the Cuba is viewed by the West.

Traditional Fishing . High in the mountains of Northern Vietnam, a woman uses her skills to catch a meal. These skills have been passed down through many generations in her family and are just one of the traditions unique to the Tai ethnic culture, thriving so vibrantly in this mountainous region. Sadly today, traditions such as these are fading out. This is due to the younger generations moving away to the city.

Broken Hill. This image is taken from my Signs of Australia series of photographs of vintage signs and advertising recorded during a 40,000km road trip.

Signs of Australia is a visual record of Australian social life over two centuries.
