This old clunker sat for ages in someone’s backyard near where we walk, along a dirt road next to a gently flowing creek. It sat next to another old mini in a similar state of decrepitude. Because these beauties sat at the back of a ‘bush block’ there were no fences as such, so I [...]

Olives & Hydrant
Winter is often annoying to me. I begrudge the overcast skies and the cold mornings. My workplace is often overrun with people with flu-like symptoms, sniffles, temperatures and the like who somehow managed to reach adulthood without learning the simple courtesy of covering their mouths when they cough! Anyway, yet another annoyance is the habit [...]
Wind Power
Originally posted on Jan 31 2007 as one of the original posts on the old plastic lens. Loooking like a mutant weathervane gone bonkers, this kinetic sculpture sits high in the Melbourne Docklands precinct. Each individual armature turns independently of each other in the wind, making for a very hypnotic & colourful phenomenon. Camera: Diana [...]
The Wizard
Baba Desi (also known as ‘The Belgrave Wizard’) is a wonderful character, a gentleman who is always happy to pose for a photograph This is one of my favourite portraits and was one of three photos of mine that I hung in my very first (joint) exhibition, the Light Leaks Exhibition that opened in Northcote, [...]
Wonderful Rust
A bit of abstraction with this detail of some entropy in action…errr, that is all. (I’m on Night Shift so can’t really string many words together, for which many of you should be very grateful!) Camera: Diana F + Film: Fuji PRO400H film.
Skiffs
A late night post in which I cannot muster the energy to enter much information apart from “hello, hope you like this one!” Camera: Diana F + Film: Fuji Pro 160S
Kantju Gorge, Uluru
Here is another image I originally posted on the ‘old’ plasticlens a month or so ago. It is another of the beautiful Kantju Gorge at Uluru. I will repost the original comments made to it as soon as I can. Here is the original text (note that an image of the Skatepark was static on [...]
Skate Park
*Note – this image was initially uploaded on the of July 26th 2008 prior to a hiatus on the old site whilst we went on a holiday, the Kantju Gorge post followed on our return. For sequential accuracy and what Frank Zappa would call conceptual continuity, I have upoaded it again, before the Kantju Gorge [...]
Kantju Gorge, Uluru
Another of my images from the Northern Territory of Australia. It is taken in the beautiful Kantju Gorge section of Uluru, the largest monolith in the world, located in Central Australia. Camera: Diana F+ Film: Agfa XPS 160
Uluru In The Distance
Once again, the Agfa XPS 160 combined with the plastic lens on the Diana F+ has created some sort of alchemy for this photograph that makes it another of my favourites from Central Australia. Heading away from the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, I had the sudden urge to pull our hired Maui to the side [...]
Tree at the Devil’s Marbles
The white trunk of this gum against the rust red of the Devils’s marbles and the clear blue sky just jumped out at me whilst I was wandering around this fascinating area in the Northern Territory. Thankfully my vision of what this might look like taken with my plastic camera was rewarded by a nice [...]
