After uploading some software ‘analouge emulation’ images I thought we should get back to some actual real images (in the sense that the photo exists in tangible physical form, either as a negative or print as compared with 0′s and 1′s of binary data storage) This particular image was captured in my brother’s study (he [...]
Little Asphalt Dude
Thursday, October 21, 2010
A quick upload before I head to work… this little painted pedestrian (highly stylised) on the asphalt. (As captured on a Holga) Soon I am going to talk about the way we capture, process and share our perceptions of the world (ever changing it seems these days) and the tools we use to capture images, [...]
Under a Freeway on WTCD
Tuesday, October 19, 2010
Even though I haven’t blogged about it this year due to laziness, family commitments, study, work, life, the universe & everything (and the dog ate my homework) – we have had a world toy camera day (well it was a whole weekend) this year and I did manage to take a few Holga and Polaroid [...]
Jesus in the Junk
Tuesday, August 17, 2010
Well, those of Christian beliefs do say he is everywhere, which kind of freaks me out if I think about it too deeply, but this particular shining example of the saviour I found in the Dandenong Trash & Treasure sidewalk market one day. This is yet another shot taken with the cool Waist level Finder [...]

Caravan
Tuesday, November 17, 2009
There is a seaside camping/caravan spot we sometimes go to in a quiet spot called Walkerville on the coastline east of Melbourne. This van has been there for quite a while, but I can’t ever remember seeing anyone occupy it, although admittedly my holidays are usually not in the peak season due to my shift [...]
A Round About Then
Friday, October 23, 2009
On a long road trip it is a good idea to have a break in the journey to stretch ones legs and in the case of children to have a play in a playground if you can find one. On a recent trip we found ourself in Sale and discovered such a spot that also [...]

On the 3rd week of the Ballarat International Foto Biennale, my family kidnapped me for a few days and we went along the Victorian Coastline up to Tathra, which is over the border on the South Eastern New South Wales coastline. It was lovely and pretty much the only consistent, consecutive few days of blue [...]
Flat Rose
Monday, June 22, 2009
Here is an interesting photograph from a couple of years ago. It was taken on WPPD (World Pinhole Photography Day) as part of a series of pinhole Rose captures. I used a Holga converted to a pinhole camera, with a Polaroid back attached. The Roe in thi instance turned out looking very 2-dimensional as opposed [...]
Girl with Mother of Pearl
Saturday, March 28, 2009
One slightly overcast, but quite lovely day a couple of years ago we went to Williamstown, a bayside suburb where my Mother grew up and where my Great Aunt, who is now 93 still lives. The children just love exploring rock pools so they were amply entertained (or rather entertained themselves on this occasion. Camera: [...]

Originally posted in early February 2007, this is a strange double exposure taken on WTCD (World Toy Camera Day) 2005. I was wandering around town with a fellow toy camera aficionado, Mike (hi Mike!) It was my first WTCD. Can you also tell it was the first time I had used the Holga? Anyway, I [...]
