Another sunny memory from our holiday to the red centre a few years back.

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 would whip out whatever camera I happened to be carrying at the time (never leave home without a camera!) and take a shot. Only last week we went past again only to see the rusting minis had been removed *sigh* so it goes…

This image was my contribution to the exhibition ‘RESPECT’ a benefit exhibition to show our appreciation for this man, which is currently open at the New North Galleries in Fairfield, Melbourne. You can read more about it here.

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 of WordPress to intermittently refuse to upload my files. Who knows why…

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.

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, Melbourne in early 2007. I didn’t sell any of the photos, but now I have this cheery fellow beaming at us from our lounge room wall!

Note: This photo was originally uploaded to the ‘old plasticlens’ on February 16th 2007, which is where the first couple of comments originate from.

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!)

A late night post in which I cannot muster the energy to enter much information apart from “hello, hope you like this one!”

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 the site for the whole time we were away):

Well, we are back from a bit of a break in the Northern Territory of Australia (as anyone who has been checking the words part of the site will know) – sorry about having to look at the skate park for one month, but now I’ve had a chance to scan some of my plastic holiday shots in, I can offer some variety.
This image (apart from some basic colour cast correction and dust removal) is as it came from the scanner, I swear I did not tweak the saturation at all. It is taken in the beautiful Kantju Gorge section of Uluru, the largest monolith in the world, located in Central Australia.
