A chance conversation in an IGA car park about pretty lights, summer, Scotland and running somehow led to Vikings, abandoned buildings and the places where we each feel most alive.

I was photographing the old Bank of New South Wales/Westpac building at 452 Fitzgerald Street, North Perth, when I started chatting to a lovely lady named Marie.

Conversations with a stranger that starts over something simple and ends up covering far more than expected on the newly developed grounds of the former Princess Margaret Hospital in Subiaco.
