500 images of Lautoka - list of photos
This is a complete list of the low-to-medium resolution photos accompanying the "Lautoka, Lautoka, Lautoka" article. I'm aware that all affordable internet connections in Lautoka are at present extremely slow. Therefore, for the benefit of locals, thumbnail indices and slideshow-style presentations have been avoided. You can only access the photos one-by-one via this image-free list, which should make it much easier for locals to find the pictures they're looking for, but less convenient for those with fast broadband access. It will take about 2-2.5 seconds to download a single image using a 56kb/sec dial-up connection, or about 0.01 sec with broadband at 10Mb/sec.
This is an extremely unbalanced, opportunist collection of photos, intended only to give a cross-section of the city and examples of its institutions and activities. There are many important omissions. I apologise for vagueness in labelling many of the images, and for any instances of misidentification. Any offers to rectify omissions and mistakes would be most welcome. If anyone objects to any of the photos on this site (e.g. in the "Faces" section), please let me know so that they can be immediately removed. (Email Dave Robinson)
All email requests for high-resolution electronic copies of individual photos will be considered but not necessarily honoured. Sorry, I cannot provide hardprints.
