Trains and underground stations: the inevitable decay that strikes symbols of urban life is a drawcard for me. I seem not to get enough of capturing citylife from the vantage point of a commuter, fellow passengers just as intruiging to trap within a black & white image.

Redfern train station in the heart of Sydney has been operating since 26 September 1855 in an area known as “Cleveland Fields.” This original “Redfern” station comprised one wooden platform in a corrugated iron shed. As traffic increased the original station was replaced in 1874 by a brick building containing two platforms. On 21 October 1906 this station was renamed Redfern.
