Flinders Street Tram

“Do you have any pictures of trams?”

I didn’t, and after hearing this half a dozen times I thought I’d better go out and shoot one. In my head I pictured one of the old style trams in front of Flinders St Station. I live in the CBD, the station’s not going anywhere and there are plenty of trams - how hard could it be? All I needed was about a two hour period on a sunny day to get the light I wanted then it was just a matter of standing on the corner, camera ready, waiting for one of the trams to come by. It took me two weeks. I must have stood on that corner five or six different days shooting every tram that came past but there’d always be a bus, car or truck in front of it. Or, more often than not, all three. Finally the traffic Gods smiled down at me and I got the shot.  Another tram image here.

Image ID: 1127

Note: Both paper and canvas prints come rolled in acid free tissue paper inside a heavy-duty mailing tube (signature is required upon delivery).

The standard sized paper prints - A2, A1 and AO - are designed to fit off-the-shelf frame sizes but for custom framing (like the panorama prints which aren't standard sizes), I'd recommend taking them to a professional framer.

The canvas prints are much harder to do yourself so should also be taken to a framer. All the canvas prints have a mirror wrap edge (sometimes called gallery wrap) which means the image appears to continue around the side of the frame but it's actually a copy of the image, as if the image were held against a mirror. This way none of the image is 'lost' around the side, it just looks that way.

If you have any questions about the prints, the images or anything else, I'm always available through the contacts page.
