Marcus Wong

Hello, this is Marcus Wong. I started photographing the railways of Victoria a decade ago, and have since branched out into public transport, infrastructure and industry, both in Australia around the world. As well as photography, I also write about and research the history of what I capture.

What do you create?

You can find my work around the web, including:

• a weekly post on my main blog at Waking up in Geelong,
• a fortnightly post about Hong Kong at Checkerboard Hill,
• a fortnightly post about European rail at Euro Gunzel,
• a regularly updated stream of Victorian and interstate railway photography at Wongm's Rail Gallery,
• ongoing research on the railways of Geelong at Rail Geelong,
• local and overseas photography on all kinds of subjects at Flickr,
• an irregular stream of railway videos on my YouTube channel,
• and a selection of open sourced code that drives all of the above.

How can I help?

All of the above work takes lots of time to create, with none of it being part of my day job. Web hosting, travel expenses, camera equipment - it is all a labour of love right now.

I do what I do because I'm naturally curious about the world that I live in. If the work that I create also interests you, any contribution you make will help me to spend more time creating.

What do I get?

As well as all of the above work I've listed above, if you sign up as a patron you also get some special rewards to thank you for your contribution.

What if I don't become a patron? Does anything change?

Nothing changes. Spreading knowledge is what means the most to me, and locking away content is the opposite of this.
