This collection of photography designed to show the things that have long past there use but in some cases not forgotten and in some maybe forgotten.
All of these photos are taken in Western Australia and around the country side among old ruins or in streets as display, lying in paddocks, inside old properties and buildings.
These objects all once had a very prominent place and use in life.
They were all new once and history created by there use in some small way.
All have there own character even now after many years of just laying around growing old and deteriorating.
Once loved for and cared for only to be discarded after life change and improvement in the way we use things.
Love all these things and I hope through these photos they will be remembered.
