When commercial photographer Steven Young began volunteering at the Eromanga Natural History Museum, he didn’t expect to call upon his creative background. The Museum, located 11 hours west of Brisbane, is home to Australia’s largest dinosaur fossil, and Young’s new research project, which sees him resurrecting prehistoric vegetation.
Young’s macrophotography regularly captures images no bigger than a micron – a hundred times thinner than a human hair. His work focuses on myxomycetes or slime moulds. They are neither animals nor fungi, thriving in damp environments and leaving microscopic traces around the borders of Eromanga’s rich supply of dinosaur fossils.Â
