Love this shot. 👏🏼

Election Day in Australia. A mix of federal election posters by multiple parties including the Greens, Labor, and the Lib/Nat coalition.

Federal Election Day in AUS. The polling booth was a sea of anti-Dutton posters. It was like the conservatives had simply given up. It became the biggest route of their party in my lifetime, with Dutton losing his actual seat.

I recently visited La Dolce Vita Restaurant in Milton for a plate of Brisbane's best pasta, and snapped this iconic Park St landmark whilst there. Have always loved this.

A quick stop last week at the Toowong Cemetery. It's a very human place, somewhere to reflect on what really matters during our brief time of conscious existence.

Self Portrait, Sean Smith Film Photographer. With a Nikon F4 and 50mm f1.8 lens

Self portrait as a test shot at the beginning of a roll of Ilford Delta 400 I shot at a wedding recently. Holding my trusty Nikon F4 with a cheap but effective Nikon 50mm f1.8 lens. #filmphotography #bnw #bnwphotography #ilford #ilfordphotos #ilforddelta400 #nikonf4 #filmnotdead

A few more shots of Sex Pistols with Frank Carter. I had deleted these but went back today and decided to recover them. It's history after all! Rollei 35SE + Ilford Delta 3200 film. Home scanned and developed. #sexpistols #frankcarter #bnw #bnwphotography #bandphotography #filmphotography #ilford

Haha, cheers! The most fun I've ever had taking photos. 😂

Sex Pistols with Frank Carter - the most fun I've ever had at a concert. Rollei 35se, Ilford Delta 3200, set to f2.8, 1/125, max distance & shot overhead from within the moshpit. Absolutely wild. Amazed I got anything at all. 🤣 #ilfordphoto #rollie35se #sexpistols #frankcarter

Photographed a pro-Palestine protest today on film. Have spent the past hour developing film with my assistant cat keeping a close eye on things. 😂 #ilfordphoto #ilfordphotos #ilfordhp5 #ilfordddx #homedevelopment #filmphotography

I used to live in Sydney, it was shocking there too. No seating, ever.

I try not to. Cheers.

That is a breathtaking photo. Absolutely beautiful.
