I like powerlines
I've disovered this since I got a camera a couple of months ago. It's the Shaun Tan influence.
The first photo shows a features a pair of shoes near my parents' place in Ferntree Gully. The second and third show stages
one and
two of the Gillies Street Shoes project. The fourth is a can that's been hung from the powerlines, also near my parents place. And the sunset photo was taken from a park in Scoresby, outer-Eastern Melbourne.
With regards to the Gillies Street Shoes, there are now three pairs. They have come down a few times, but quickly returned by the supportive public. Also,
the cleaners have been complaining about them, so they're happy.
Assorted Ballarat photos
I took these on Lydiard Street, across the road from
Her Majesty's Theatre and the
Commonwealth Bank. The Old Post Office is in the background.
This is a church in Sturt Street.
This is the Maxi petrol station on Creswick Road. I reckon it looks kind of like a building form Starcraft.
Old Post Office
This is the tower at the Old Post Office Building at
Camp Street Arts Academy.
Sunbury BP
I took this photo
the other weekend when we were in Sunbury.
Remember
why you shouldn't go to BP.
Big gun
The playground is such a good place for one of these.
This playground is in a caravan park near the
Ballarat Botanical Gardens.
Adelaide station
These were the last photos I took before I left for Ballarat.
Demolishion or something
This building in Adelaide CBD was being demolished or restored or something. They were doing something to it which involved cranes and lots or rubble. I think it was an insurance company or something.
Adelaide alley
This is an alley in Adelaide CBD, near the Lion Arts Centre.
Some church in Adelaide
I photographed this church from beneath an underpass in Adelaide CBD.
Some cathedral in Adelaide
These photos are of a cathedral in North Adelaide.
Mitcham station
I took this photo at Mitcham station, in the southern suburbs of Adelaide.
Horsham alley
I took this photo in an alley in
Horsham, on the way to Adelaide:
Stawell station
I took this at
Stawell railway sation, on the way back from Adelaide to Ballarat.
Keith silos
I took these two photos in a tiny town called Keith, on the way to Adealide:
On the bus I'd been reading
The Dressmaker, a gothic novel set in rural Victoria during the 1950s (or thenabouts). One of the important structures in the novel is the silo.
I'll probably use these in my Gothic Genre photo essay. I'm very pleased with how they've turned out, so if we get the right weather conditions I want to take some of the Ballarat silos as well.
Warrnambool watertower
Here are some photos I took in Warrnambool the weekend before last.
Bad cops
As you probably remember, when I was in Melbourne the
fun-stoppers thought my suitcase was a bomb and took it back to the cop shop to defuse it.
Well, today I got my photos back and it turns out the fun-stoppers took a few photos. So here they are:
The guy in the middle photo is reading my address list from Thuruna Easter Camp.
Jess reckons photos might have taken by a policeman who is really a terrorist and thinks I am too and is trying to send me a coded message.
