Part of the learning curve was to see how difficult it would be to carry the camera, tripod and accessories (light meter, sheet film holders, dark cloth etc) to a site. I struggled when I walked to the sites in the western parklands. It was hard going. I quickly discovered that I could not walk that far whilst carrying that Linhof tripod.

I realized that if the distance was too great, and if I could not use the tram or a car in the CBD, then I would need to use a small wheeled cart to carry the camera gear around.

It was more than an exercise as I started becoming aware of the light on the graphic forms in low light situations:

Then I gave up and turned to start photographing in the CBD.
