Hi Isadora, i do actually. South East of Hobart is Port Arthur which was built to house convicts in the 1800s that were transported from England. As part of that complex there were outposted places where the convicts worked.
This particular building is located in the old coal mine area which in its hey day employed 600 convicts and around 30 military to guard them. This particular ruin was located in the Military area and so would have at one time housed the soldiers guarding the convicts.
My name is Greg and i am both the photographer and the blogger behind this blog. I write both Hobart Daily and Bicheno Daily that both have daily updates from their areas.
And then there is this blog. I studied photography back in the days of film and we used, developed and printed our black and white films. To this day i have a love of black and white photographs and love the way they look, often more than the colour versions of the photos. And so this blog, for those shots i want to see in black and white.
