Don't think I'm giving much away here, but this is my favourite photo of my mum
On a ferry of course, but the bridge is still being built
And she was lucky enough to attend the opening at Govt House
My grandma was a caterer for gov house and managed to score an invite.

Awesome photo Moi :thumbsup.
The Harbour Bridge in the background reminds me of the book I have with photos of the Harbour Bridge at different stages as it was being built.
-
Great pic Moi! :thumbsup
I've got a sizeable collection of glass plate negatives and one of them is a group of lighthorseman posing in front of the sphinx which is my favorite.
Also in the collection are pics of the Harbour bridge construction, billiard champion Walter lindrum, Artisit Albert namatjira and a collection of turn of the century pics of Sydney street life.
If anyone would like to see some I'd be happy to post them. I'm still in the process of deciding what to do with them but apparently they are quite valuable. They were passed on to me by my late cousin who was a world renowned photographer. I also have some of his own collection but they are not negatives, like an early family portrait of Arnold Schwarzenegger before he became really famous, The beatles in concert, Audrey Hepburn candids (He was a good friend of Audrey's and played tennis with her) and many more..

Post away, Tiga. I wasn't necessarily thinking of photos of family and such - just mainly your fav pic.
Oh dear, here comes the porn lol

Nice Ox lol
Tell me, what's on the step in the first pic?

Spent a couple of hours down there tonight amongst the throng.
A couple of heated moments, but generally pretty good.
Hi to some new friends I made in Louie (hope your nose ain't broken dude lol) and a couple of others who didn't want to be identified.
Nice kids with good intentions.
To the uncooperative pigs who wouldn't raise their baton for my camera even though they were dying to - up yours lol

The photo that gives all Tiger supporters nightmares and makes everyone scream uncontrollably "we should have @#%ing Pavlich!" :lol.

Photos of the Challenger space shuttle about to launch on its third mission. There were 10 in all and obviously the tenth was that fateful one :(. This one carried a set number of American postage stamps (see below), one of which was given to me by a neighbour when I was a kid.

Thanks MT. Apparently most WWI original glass negs are in musems, the war memorial, or owned by serious collectors...except for this one.
It's the only War negative I have, but I have some others you might me interested in which I'll put up later today.
-
Awesome Tiga - they're so clear :thumbsup
Have no fear I won't copy or anything, but there's really nothing you can do to stop someone saving a copy of them unfortunately. I'm sure there's lots of photos out there that people would want to share - but like you, scared they'll end up everywhere.
We are privileged to have them here, Tiga :thumbsup

My dad used to live opposite the Lindrums in Kerferd Road, Albert Park. My grandfather was mates with their dad and used to often play pool over there with him. Dad was only about six at the time, and doesn't have much memory of them, but he does remember his father who was a carpenter trying to make a pool table out of concrete which turned out to be one giant disaster :rollin Must have weighed a ton lol

Great pics tiga :bow :clapping.
Good ol' Canberra. 4 lane freeways you can drive around on all by yourself ;D
I guess I have to say this since I own them that all these images (Including the ANZAC picutre) are copyrighted and are not to be printed, reproduced or altered for the purposes of commercial use without permission. I totally trust all the regulars here but some fly in's could rip them off.
Looks like you might have to kick some Aussie gov butt tiga ;).

Glad you like them Moi.
I don't mind anyone saving them and viewing them for their own personal use. It's when people rip them off to make money from them that I will object to. I have over 100 glass negs of various pics from Australia's yesteryear. These are only a small sample but they are some of my favorites. These were scanned on a really ordinary scanner and saved at 800x600 so they are not printable quality anyway. You should see the originals. They are as good as the day they were taken with the exception of a few dots and scratches that have occured over time. Some of them are over 100 years old.
I spoke to a lady at the powerhouse museum here is Sydney and she was pressuring me to donate them because I suspect she knew what they were worth. Fat chance. One guy at a photographic forum said he saw some glass negs of just ordinary stuff going for $4000 each about 8 years ago. I have a very rare candid of Albert Namatjira painting in the bush which I've been told is worth a few bob. I had them all stored away in security storage when I found out that they were worth something. I was thinking of selling prints online to make some extra cash rather than sell them off. Do you think people would spend money on large prints of images like these? They certainly have a general interest factor but I have no idea if people would part with their hard earned to put them up in their living room. Maybe if I frame them they might be more appealing.

Great snap Ox. I had a pair of the black with yellow stripes with moulded soles. I remember staring at the all yellow ones in Yodgee's sports store in glenferrie Rd Malvern when I was a little mite but they didn't make them in kids sizes if I recall.

I could see frame Lindrum prints hanging on a wall in pool/sports rooms. If Ch 9 can flog their dodgy memoriabilia lol then there should be a market for genuine decent items like yours tiga.
If you've got 100 of them, making a pictorial book could be an option too. I've got a book of Henri Mallard's photos he took during the construction of the Harbour Bridge.

Ever thought of donating them to the National Library or New South Wales State Library.
I've got an email address of a guy I contacted at the National Library which I'll send you if you're interested.
He took that photo of me mum to a committee of the National Library to see if they wanted to purchase it. Got knocked back, but suggested i go to the NSW library. Haven't done so as yet, because I'm not sure it's a quality enough photo, even though I like it.
But if you want to, I'll PM you with his email addy
There are collectors who would be very interested in them. What about auction houses?

They are brilliant MT. :thumbsup Those guys had no fear! I bet they would make good midfielders. :lol I think I have some similar pics in my collection.
The hardest part for me is dating & identifying them. Sure some of them are easy but some are very obscure like some bullock dray negs I have. Someone said I could identify them by the markings on the wool bails. Apparently there is a book called 'The Mechanical eye on Australia" which might be helpful. Hase anyone got or seen this book?? I'm finding it a hard one to trace. None of my local Libraries have it.

A photo of Richmond's U19 1985 premiership side.
I'll leave for you guys to guess a few of the young faces in it who went on to play senior footy (and not just for the Tiges).
Click on it to enlarge the photo.

Yep that's a young Hoggy :thumbsup.
I don't have the names so your guess is as good as mine lol but I think 1985 was too early for Turner and Bower although now that you mention it that guy does look a bit like Scotty.
There's one other obvious Tiger in row two who captained that team and had a older brother playing at Richmond. There's also a "future" Melbourne player of the late 80s and a Springvale player. Bonus marks if you know who the coach is (played with Fitzroy).

Is that Justin Pickering left of the coach?

Thanks MT! Yes I do live in NSW. I might pay the state library a visit to see if they can help me out. Thanks also for the book references. :thumbsup
