Thanks to a motorcycle accident which saw my bike and camera gear take the worst of it, I had to borrow a camera to get out and capture a Penfolds sign uncovered during construction. Thanks Peter! Remarkable how may painted signs Penfolds have produced over the years. So, some more Read more…
One of the things I enjoy doing the most, photography-wise, is walking and snapping, just capturing what catches my eye. This is evident from the travel photography but it’s also good fun to just go out into a neighborhood or industrial area and just snap what I see. I use Read more…
New York City had old signs in spades, they were everywhere. And thanks to eagle-eyed Donna, who brought many to my attention that I would have otherwise missed, I was able to photograph quite a number of them. Here are a few!
Our last city in our trip was Washington DC. So many places that we are aware of, through film and television and it was good to see them for ourselves. Washington seemed to have two parts, the working capital of the USA and a tourist location. We walk three soggy Read more…
Donna and I spent 10 days exploring New York, staying in the Brooklyn neighbourhood of Bedford–Stuyvesant (colloquially known as Bed-Stuy) and travelling everywhere on the subway. (take the “A” train) On the very first morning as we headed to explore the area, the Brooklyn United music and arts program were holding Read more…
New York, well you could post hundreds of images of the sights, environments and people but I will try to do it in two parts, some of the architecture and some of the people and environments. Architecturally, New York has some of the most recognised buildings in the world and Read more…
In May 2018, Donna and I travelled through part of the east coast of the USA; Boston, New York and Washington. It was a great trip and experience with much walking, seeing, doing, eating and taking photos. Boston was a very pleasant city and a good starting point for our Read more…
The final “catch-up” is the 2018 Tyabb Airshow. The Tyabb show occurs on the year that Avalon does not (even number year) and takes place at the Tyabb airfield. It is not as big a show and has a much more relaxed feel but does seem to become more busy Read more…
Peter and I have discussed going and photographing a rodeo for over five years now and, finally, we got off our tushes and did it. The Healesville rodeo is a fairly new rodeo to Victoria but it was a good bit of fun and had a really fun and “community” Read more…
2018, Yeah! And to start out the photographic efforts for 2018, an overnight road trip to Nhill Victoria via Ballarat, Ararat, Moyston, Halls Gap and Dimboola. A lot of history and older buildings and signs. Towns like Dimboola felt almost as if time was not running at the same pace, Read more…
There were other things to be photographed in 2017 and I thought I’d post them up together to bring 2017 to a close. There was the Friday practice at the Melbourne F1, the Royal Melbourne Show, the city and, of course, old signs.
A afternoon trip around the ‘hood, and stopping, finally, at the Australian National Aviation Museum. I can’t believe it has taken me this long to get around to getting back there but if you are ever in the area, it is worth a stop if you have an interest in Read more…
