Broken Wheel

Cameron — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 12:49:06 +0000

Here stands a salutory lesson on the folly of cost cutting in business, the practice of which so often proves to be founded on false economy. Melbourne’s try at having an ‘eye’ was constructed in such a way that when we reached a certain temperature in the heat of summer last year, components failed and the wheel had to be shut down. Sure the temperature reached the mid 40′s (centigrade) but that is not an unknown or unanticipated scenario. The wheel was only in operation for a few months and businesses that had been established around it to cater for the anticipated tourist traffic were understandably upset (to put it mildly). At the moment the wheel is being dismantled to be ‘fixed’

A cute image of my eldest, looking quite happy with her latest ‘toy’ – the Hula Hoop, an oldie but a goodie

Superman’s Laundry

Wandering around a local fair whilst recently on holidays, I noticed a stall with various superhero costumes hanging up high above the stall, I couldn’t resist snapping this image of superman’s outfit blowing in the breeze.

Masked Girl with Snorkel

It has been a hectic few weeks but thankfully we have been fortunate enough to get down to the beach. Here my youngest tries out the new mask and snorkel set we bought her. The crazy vignetting is courtesy of 200 speed film in the wonderful blackbird,fly (from Superheadz) camera set on ‘sunny’ aperture.

Jumpy Castle

Modern fairgrounds and parties mimic the wonderful soft sculptures of the POP Art era, as in this Jumping Castle at a local school fair.

Girl with a blackbird,fly

A lot of blue happening here, blue dressing gown, blue eyes, blue background, blue blackbird fly. One of my favourite bbf shots (taken with my orange bbf, yes I’m spoilt – I have two of these cool cameras). I think I love this shot so much because my daughter just looks like she is made to hold this camera. I think she might be a ‘chip off the old block’!
