Jerome Cornick's photos

A like the colours—the colours of the flowers, table top and background nicely harmonise. It is also a very simple arrangement which is easy on the eye. The garden of the The Western Australian Museum.

This vintage musical organ is slowly deteriorating in the wind and rain. It has no monetary value, and sits in the garden of the Western Australian Museum café, along with other interesting artefacts.

Remains of a World War 2 gun battery overlooking the Indian Ocean at Peron Point, Western Australia.

No new image today. This sleepy koala was found in tree at Perth Zoo. Koalas are completely unrelated to bears, so the term Koala Bear is no longer used.

Walyungup Lake, early evening.

It is mid-June—but this looks suspiciously like a Christmas themed attraction designed to bring in the shoppers. There was more than a few people tut-tutting when they saw this. Rockingham Shopping Centre, Western Australia.

I very much like the design for this street sign, Kent Street Deli. The sign uses a fork for the stem of the letter 'K'; a knife for the letter 'L' and a swash 'D'. Some years ago I worked as sign designer; even today I tend to notice all sorts of street signs. Kent Street Deli, Kent Street, Rockingham, Western Australia

"Measure Twice Cut Once" by artists Mark Datodi and Steve Tepper. This 2014 art piece is in front of the new Challenger Institute of Technology, Rockingham, WA.

This little girl is probably over 130-years-old. The exposure was made using the tintype process. This dates the image from about 1860 to the early 20th century. The exposure is a direct positive on a thin sheet of iron with a dark lacquer used to support the photographic emulsion. A tinype could be developed, fixed and handed to the customer in just a few minutes after exposure (a bit like a Polaroid print today). This tintype measures 2 x 3 inches and originates from the United States.

The family in this photo are standing on the wreck of the SS Kwinana , which in 1922 ran aground on a beach in Western Australia, south of Perth. The area then became known as Kwinana. Since 1922 the population has grown to over 32,000 inhabitants, and Kwinana officially became a city In 2012. Rockingham, which borders Kwinana, was also named after a ship wreck. In 1830 the ship Rockingham was abandoned after being blown ashore. Today, Rockingham has grown to become a city too. This picture was made with a 24mm wide-angle lens in order to include a lot of sky. Split-toning has been added in Photoshop to add a bit of tone in both the highlights and shadows (yellow in the highlights and purple in the shadows).

This image is a number of years old. It shows my niece and nephew, Georgina and William, fishing at dusk. The original file has long been lost (hard drive failure), so I rephotographed a print instead.

A single light illuminates the play equipment during the night. There is not a sound to be heard during these hours, except the waves of the Indian Ocean crashing in the background. 30 second exposure.

The Minion returns to keep an eye on the Pigeon Peas.

Day 4 of 365 day project.

Intricate metalwork of the City of Rockingham Coat of Arms.

Warm colours of a terracotta water feature. I also was interested in how the water would be captured at the camera's fastest shutter speed of 1/8000th of a second.

I like the contrast of the still water—plus the boat owner's legs draped over the stern of the boat—and the threatening clouds engulfing the Perth city skyline.

The crowds have gone, no children play ball games on the grass, the leaves have deserted the trees ... the sad and lonely spectacle of a cold and gloomy park in the depths of winter.
