I took a folding rollfilm camera from the 1950s with me on my trip, and when I got the film back I found the photos held more meaning for me than the other ones I took.

The camera takes square photos with a negative that is 6cm by 6cm. Actually, it was tough trying to get something usable out of them because I wanted to scan the negatives myself and show the edges of the film. The scans from the shop were OK, but they did not really make me feel like I was there.

I wanted to remember what it was like being wet and cold but loving the trees and the land. I wanted to remember how I needed to take my gloves off, and take the camera out of its bag and unfold it while trying not to let it get too wet, and then guessing an exposure and setting the dials before making one frame and putting it all away again.

I spent a fair bit of time on Mt Frankland this day wondering if it would get more or less rainy before I decided it was definitely getting more rainy and I'd better go down.

These are scanned by putting the negatives on a lightbox and photographing them with a digital camera. Then the individual channels for Red, Green and Blue need to be inverted, and then the levels played with to try to get something that reminded me of what it was like to be there.

This shot reminds me that walking on wet rocks wearing cleats is pretty tricky.

The shots are not in order - this is from the first day between Albany and Denmark when I saw this part of the trail and thought, "wow, this could be a good trip."

This bit of the coast from Ocean Beach near Denmark was great - If you have a chance to see the Tim Winton film "Breath" this place features a lot.

And on the same day I visited Lights beach. I was only going to make one frame a day, but some days I made two.

It took me a while to learn to slow down while getting over the trees. I think that once I'd learned that, I made this shot to mark the occasion.
