The A32 is the highway from Adelaide to Sydney via Broken Hill. Travelling on it is stepping back into history and away from tourist photographic activity.
We were tourists in our own country. We had a few days holiday in Mildura and had gone onto explore Broken Hill for a few more days. We then returned to Adelaide on the A32, or the Barrier Highway. Taking everyday pictures for tourists is associated with holidays and travel and then linked to memory.

By now I'd bought a digital camera--a Sony DSC R1, Adobe Lightroom, and an Epson V700 scanner. The Sony became my main everyday point and shoot camera, and I started using the film Leica less. The main film work was being done with medium format cameras. Going digital did not alter the stereotypical character of snapshot photography---they continue an already existing practice but allow for a vastly greater quantity.
