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…














Lots of different Cameras and Lenses and Stuff and Things

While waiting for a friend at the bus station I shot a couple of images… This was by far the best one.
Great eye contact with the camera… I didn’t notice when I took it… I love how film still surprises me from time to time 🙂

This is definitely one of my favourite shots that I have taken recently.
A portrait within a portrait…

Looks like someone must have a faulty fire alarm in their building since this seems to be the 3rd or 4th call out in as many weeks.
I guess it gives these guys some practice.

Work colleague…
Collector and reseller of cameras, mostly antique…
Knows more about Zorki and FED cameras than people who used to live next to the factory in former Russia…
Self proclaimed inventor of “Drive by Shootings” (photographic)…
co-conspirator of many late night shoots…
Halo (PC) Fan… Have yet to turn to the dark side of Xbox Halo 🙂
Unaware I took the image until after I had taken it…

A new way of solving the problem of car parking?
Maybe just scouting a junk yard 🙂
Unfortunately the rest of this shoot got sacrificed to the film gods when I was processing 2 120 films at once and the overlapped in the middle ruining half of each film 😦 A mistake that I wont make twice…

Saw this shot on Cuba Street looking through the people doing yoga as a pacifist protest against China…

Just incase you missed it here is an enlargement…

I havent done one of these in a while, mostly due to a backlog of film that I have to develop 🙂
Things have been slowly moving towards summer with the weather getting better and more opportunities to head outside and play in the sun.
Street shooting Mondays have been reinstated with Sam in the backpack and us roaming through town looking for photo opportunities (and occasionally playgrounds).
Emily is getting very excited about christmas already and we have started to put up our christmas tree with a few decorations being put on it each night. The tree is looking slightly comical due to the fact that most decorations are on the top third of the tree away from where Sam can get them.

Sam through a pipe.

Emily, Frog and the flying Bike.

This protest has been going on since it was announced that there was going to be a bus road put through the previously pedestrian Manners Mall… With only 5 days before buses are going through it I am getting as many images of the area as I can before it changes.
At one point the protestor was arrested for smashing up the road with a sledge hammer… I missed that one dang it!
