Ghosts In The Machine
Finally got round to finishing off a roll of film I had sitting in my Lubitel 2 TLR Camera.
Lets just say it has a problem with light leakage… It did however give some interesting images with bits burned out of them…
Lubitel 2 Camera, Ilford FP4 125 ISO Film (expired) Shot at different ISO’s because I forgot what film was in the camera, CanoScan 9000F Scanner.
Jandal and Punk
On the corner of Manners Street and Victoria Street. I love when you get a prop that people think you are shooting like the Jandal (Shoe) in the bottom left hand corner.

Traffic Photographer on Manners Street
Just after Manners Mall became a bus road this guy turned up for about a week… We initially thought he was there to catch buses that were running red lights but it turns out he was there to take images of cars going through the “Bus Only” section of the road, possibly to give them tickets.

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

Bag Slogan
So much going on in this image…took me a while to notice the slogan on the bag.

Protest In Manners Mall
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!

Death of a Mall
Manners Mall gets opened up for buses this Sunday so it will finally stop being a pedestrian only space. It’s a bit sad because this was an area that I take a lot of my images but on the bright side of things change usually brings its own fun.

Burst Water Main Revisited
A couple of weeks ago I posted some digital shots of a burst water main in Manners mall (original post here).
I finally got round to processing the film from my Rollei along with some follow-up shots.
Apparently the City Council doesn’t have accurate plans of where the pipes in this area are and the water pipe does an unexpected U up towards the surface which is where the digger driver hit it. He should have been safe to go about another 30cm deeper… No one was hurt and only One shop suffered enough damage that it is suing.
People in the top floor of the apartment pictured behind who had their windows open got a bit soaked.
You can see in this shot that the pipe goes up and over something… Apparently this isn’t in the plans.

Concrete Pouring in Manners Mall
They are currently turning the pedestrian Manners Mall into a road for buses. I have to say that it is pretty impressive how much of a foundation they are having to put down for the road to go on.

And in Breaking News… Burst Water Main in Manners Mall
Just as I was stepping out the door at work I heard a bang and… Chaos….Lucky I had my camera handy… There is a series on film as well
Would like to be the guy in the digger
Enjoy
I Dont Think You Think That I am Taking a Photo of the Same Thing
This is a case of people thinking I am taking an image of one thing when really I am taking a picture of them.
Its kinda like camouflage but not really.
But that being said I was still taking an image of the broken post that someone must have backed into which has now been repaired but is about to be dug up due to massive roading change (all said really really fast and in one breath)
