Big Rigs & Big Toys
Being involved in the automotive industry since I enetered the workforce and then trucks and car spares since arriving in Hedland, it was only natural that I would gravitate towards wanting to photograph everyone's pride and joy.

These images are an homage to the effort that people make to maintain their cherished mechanical art pieces.
