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.

Double Exposure
First incident with the Rollei giving an unexpected double exposure.
The result isn’t entirely unpleasing but would be happier if I got to pick when to double expose and not the camera 🙂

Guy Taking Photo In Alley
Not that I’m territorial or anything but caught this guy taking photos in my favourite alley off Leftbank Mall in Wellington…
I asked if he minded if I took his picture and he must have miss-heard me cause he started to move his stuff out of my way so I had to explain that I wanted him to be in the picture.

Three images from the 2009 Cuba Street Festival which turned out to be the last one 😦
This was one of the days that I pretty much started taking street images…

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

And Sometimes You Just Get Busted
Since I got the Rollei I have been taking more candid shot of people without them usually knowing that I am taking them (wow when I say it out loud it sounds kinda creepy)… but anyway its quite nice that a lot of the time people are looking at the camera when I take the image because they either don’t know what it is or they do know what it is.
And then sometimes you get a shot like this where they know exactly whats going on 🙂
Nothing was said but the expression says it all.
