Much to my delight, The 2017 MIFF First Glance appeared on Tuesday afternoon. It’s the annual tease of a few confirmed releases at the rapidly approaching 66th Melbourne International Film Festival, expected to be screening around 300 feature films & a few dozen shorts on the big screens of the city from the 3rd-20th of August. In … Continue reading MIFF 2017: First Glance wrap-up
After watching a lot of blacksmith tool & knife making on youtube recently (Alec Steele really gets it done.), I took a drive to Footscray on Saturday to check out the Waterside Blacksmithing & Metal Art Festival & see some locals getting creative. The promise of a 20-foot fireball over the Maribyrnong River to finish off the day … Continue reading Waterside Blacksmithing and Metal Art Festival – 13th May 2017 – 33 photos
On my walk home from work one day, I stumbled upon a disarmed & disheveled mannequin, leaning against a fence in an empty store’s rear entrance. Some underground plumbing work in the yard was half-finished, making it look like she’d sprung right out of the ground, or landed with a mighty impact. 8 photos tell the story… … Continue reading Misplaced Mannequin – 8 photos

My thanks to Nikky & … Continue reading Victorian Hot Rod Show – 61 photos – 24th Jan 2015
I was putting the washing on the line at midnight, an unusual move at this hour, or any other hour for me. I didn’t need the light on, because this gigantic sucker, orbiting the earth at around the same speed as a rifle’s bullet, was doing a more than adequate job of illuminating my damp clothing. … Continue reading Bright side of the Moon – 2 photos
I was moving the bins when returning from work one night. Looking down my street, I saw the light fading & made a mad dash inside to grab my camera. The sky’s colours are precisely as I saw them that evening. The lower trees appear a bit blue because of an odd-coloured street light that’s … Continue reading December Twilight
