After seeing countless photographs from the exhibition on Facebook and Instagram I feel I must be the only person in Melbourne who hasn’t attended the The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk, showing at the National Gallery of Victoria. Clearly not, as when I arrive at the 10am opening […]
One of my fellow bloggers Cardinal Guzman from Oslo, has decided to set us all a new photo challenge. On the same day each month for a year we are to post between 5 and 20 new photos of a particular area of our city or town. The idea is to see how the area changes […]
This week we have been asked to post a photo that best defines Serenity. I took this shot last year on the island of Raiatea in French Polynesia while on a sailing holiday. For me it really captures the beauty and tranquility of the Society Islands and so is a fitting entry for this week’s theme.
Meet Little Audrey! Audrey has been a hugely popular Melbourne landmark since 1936. She was originally constructed as an advertisement for Skipping Girl vinegar and was Australia’s first animated neon sign. Little Audrey skipped on top of the vinegar factory until 1968 when it was demolished. Unfortunately Whelan the Wrecker claimed ownership of Audrey and […]
My entry for Shadowed was taken in New York. The shadows across the path and the darkness that they cast over much of the photo made it much more interesting than it might otherwise have been.
This is my last entry for the five day black and white photo challenge. If you’ve missed the first four days, you can check them out by going to the home page of thismelbournelife.com Today I’ve selected a shot taken during a recent walk around the Melbourne CBD. I spotted this fellow sitting on the […]
This is the fourth photo of my five day black and white challenge. This photo was taken during a walk around my neighbourhood. I normally like shooting street art in colour but this one worked well in black and white, especially as it reveals the texture of the bricks.
This photo was taken during a recent visit to the State Library of Victoria. The library, located in the centre of Melbourne, was built in 1859 and features a beautiful domed reading room. The dome was covered by a copper ceiling in 1959 because of a leaky roof and stayed that way for 44 years. […]
I have taken on another new photo challenge (which I kind of self nominated for through Deb’s world). Each day for five days I will be posting a black and white photograph. Feel free to switch me off if you’re sick of getting emails about my photo challenges – I won’t be offended. The photo I’ve […]
