Soggy:

With two months worth of rain predicted to fall in 12 hours, this morning’s commute was always going to be all about the wet weather.

Wet, windy conditions always make travelling miserable, but can also provide some interesting and slightly different photo opportunities.

About the project:

Living some 33km (21mi) from the Sydney CBD I spend quite a bit of time commuting back and forwards by train to the city. In fact, in an average week I spend about 7.5hrs on Sydney trains and probably a good 2hrs standing around waiting for them.

I usually use this time to read, write or listen to a podcast. For next week or two, however, I’m also going to spend some of that time capturing aspects of my journeys in black and white photos.

All of the photos will be captured, processed and posted from my mobile phone. I’m not quite sure how this will turn out, but hey, it will give me something new and interesting to do each day on my commute.
