LATE LIGHT
Australian railway enthusiasts Malcolm Holdsworth and Robert Kingsford-Smith and their dear-departed mate George Bambery have made their images of the late steam age available to domestic and international readers for more than 30 years. Their options are thinning when seeking unpublished shots in their slide collections, but some gems can still be unearthed.
Self-described as mere tradesmen in the hobby, compared to the world’s deservedly renowned railway lensmen, they nevertheless saw a cross section of steam action which parallels that of their widely travelled 'baby boomer' comrades.
Late Light follows the structure of their second book, Heavy Metal, in allocating stand-alone chapters with a geographic flow to each photographer. Having toured together and solo, there is an unavoidable degree of subject matter overlap as well as unique offerings in each segment.
The authors have chosen to inject a four page spread from a close friend into each major contributor’s chapter, to good effect.
Discounting the visual nuggets, there is more than enough of historic interest to catch the eye of fellow hobbyists, and we can confidently recommend this book to potential purchasers.
Late Light ... likely to be followed by at least one companion volume, should see the authors’ quest to share their love of steam finally(!) come to an understandable end.AVAILABLE MARCH 2025
