What is going on in the photo above?

The Queensland Floods hit Brisbane almost as bad as the infamous 74 flood. We were helping friends clean up their house in Fairfield, mud was everywhere. Some photo albums including the wedding album were found wet and covered in mud, I volunteered to clean them up. I strung up a line and with pegs that I found, we had a little photo lab going on, other volunteers would stop and look at the photos drying, I think it gave hope to everyone that all was not lost.

This year, I was judged 2011 Epson AIPP Queensland Runner Up Photographic Artist of the Year, my entry was based on the work I did to rescue photos form the mud.

Thanks John, our 30 seconds is up… have a great day!

No worries.
