More Alley… Before And After.
I was cleaning out some stuff on my computer last night when I came across the top image of the Alley from last year. It was almost from the exact same viewpoint as one of the shots from the post on Wednesday so here they go side by side (or one above the other).

Alley Revisited
I was walking past “The Alley” the other week and I noticed that the gate was open… Sweet… So here goes some shots from inside my favorite Ally after it has been painted entirely white and boring… with a few embellishments and on the bonus side it didn’t smell of urine like it used to 🙂

Homage To The Alley
As I have mentioned a couple of days ago this Alley has been gated off and the graffiti painted over. A friend sent me THIS ARTICLE which says the whys and hows. I have to say the whys are pretty dumb…
Anyway here goes some shots from the last couple of years…
Death Of An Alley
So for those of you who read this blog regularly (you know who you are) will know that this alley is a source of great photographic material and indeed has its own category. The graffiti changes on a weekly basis and small installations of broken things crop up to be photographed before disappearing hours later.
Well I guess someone got annoyed at the above coolness and possibly the rank smell of urine and empty paint cans which wasn’t so cool and has put up and padlocked gates at either end 😦
Oh Well RIP The Alley…

Flowers in The Alley
A lovely bunch of dying flowers left in the Alley amidst the discarded spray cans and empty bottles…

A Couple of Half Frame Sequences
Another couple of sequence shots from the loaner Canon Demi Half Frame Camera.
They are both off the first roll I put through it where I stuffed up which way to shoot and had to turn the images in Photoshop…Hence the weird light leaks don’t match up…
I think the person in the first one makes the shot… but that’s just me 🙂

It Must Have Been Cold
It must have been a cold night in the Alley…. Not sure how the heating would have helped but you never know…

More Knitting Grafitti
The Knitters have been at it again…
The gate on the Alley was replaced this week so this one is no longer there.

Alley Installation
Spotted a couple of people putting up some sort of art piece in the Leftbank Alley so clicked off this shot.
Went back the next day to see what it was but it was pretty much destroyed.

More Alley
OK so I probably spend too much time here but this alley keeps producing stuff for me to photograph.

Teddy Had a Hard Night
This bear looks like he has had a hard night out on the town.
Found in favourite alley off Leftbank Mall.
