Fey by Robert Knapman
Thanks Mat. Newtown Cemetery. Having or displaying an otherworldly, magical, or fairylike aspect or quality. Supernatural; unreal; enchanted: elves, fairies, and other fey creatures. The history of the words fey and fay illustrates a rather fey coincidence. The word fey, “fairy, elf,” is the descendant of Middle English faie, “a person or place possessed of magical properties,” and first recorded around 1390, goes back to Old French fae, “fairy,” the same word that has given us fairy. Fae in turn comes from Vulgar Latin Fāta, “the goddess of fate,” from Latin fātum, “fate.” If fay goes back to fate, so does fey in a manner of speaking, for its Old English ancestor fǣge meant “fated to die.” The sense we are more familiar with, “magical or fairylike in quality,” seems to have arisen partly because of the resemblance in sound between fay and fey.

No they didn't turn it off. by Jason Ruth
or it could be “There is a light at the end of the tunnel’ Cockatoo Island main North-South Tunnel Cockatoo Island is a hertiage listed in the middle of Sydney Harbour and is also the largest Island in the Habour. Since European settlement the island has been used for incarceration of convicts, industrial schooling and ship building. Maritime idustrial activity was ceased in 1992. 10 years later the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust was established and this island was placed into their care. Rehabilitation and restoration of the island is continueing and upon each visit you are sure to note chages. This was my second visit to the Island and this time the trip was instigated by my wife, as she had never been here. It was a day out with the inlaws with all of us enjoying the photographic delights of this wonderful place. The weather did get the better of us on this day as a afternoon thunderstorm drew the days activity to a close. _EQUIPMENT / Nikon D300 / Nikon 12-24mm f/4.0 Lens / Tripod / Remote Release SETTINGS / Shutter: / Aperture: / ISO: 200 / Focal Length: PROCESSING / Photomatix (yes, again) / Capture NX / black/grey/white point allocation / Noiseware

Marsha Brady gets a gun close up by Juilee Pryor
well just like it says in the title this is a closer view of this old and forgotten mural on Erskinville Road Newtown…from the vaults of time and annals of history comes this image…. it now longer exists having be redecorated out of existence by the new owners of the building. Still it was up for a few years which is pretty good for street art. / . / That’s my Dad my sister and my three lads checking it out… back in the day hey…..:) / . /

Lovecraft by Juilee Pryor
the essence of pathos and the embodiement of optimisim….. I was driving by and stopped at the lights approaching King street Newtown and I saw this little urban vingette and I just couldn’t resist… quick as a flash I had the old camera out of my handbag and got one frame off before the lights changed or the would be athlete saw me… maybe this is a bit cruel but I find it quite touching to be honest

marsha brady gets a gun by Juilee Pryor

On The Wings Of A Song...... by Juilee Pryor
This was a legendary tribute mural to Miles Davis…. on the wings of a song ….. and was part of the extraordinary street art life of Newtown at a particular time. And thats me lounging about on someone else’s gold Rolls Royce…. This car has made an appearance in a few of my photo’s most notabley Spirt of Sydney! The car belonged to a Mr Tony Spanos Esq who owned and operated the Graffitti Hall of Fame in Alexandria in gritty industrial inner city Sydney…... One of the most eccentric and amazingly arts focused multi millonares I’ve ever met thats for sure….. King of Doof and lover of Graffitti and all around champion of the arts especially if it was a bit cheeky…... Anyway when Newtown started to get a bit gentrifyed a few years back the tidy town people painted it out despite it being one of the most popular and enduring murals around at the time….. such a shame…. / . /

graffitti house newtown by Juilee Pryor
just for something totally different…. a snap of a tiny house somewere in Newtown in Sydney and it completely covered in graffiti…. which is not so strange in this part of town. Random urban beautification squads roam the streets looking for shabby inner city terraces to tidy up with some street art. I love that about Newtown. :)

Alice III by Tim Souter
A boat, beneath a sunny sky / Lingering onward dreamily / In an evening of July— Children three that nestle near, / Eager eye and willing ear / Pleased a simple tale to hear— Long has paled that sunny sky: / Echoes fade and memories die: / Autumn frosts have slain July. Still she haunts me, phantomwise / Alice moving under skies / Never seen by waking eyes. Children yet, the tale to hear, / Eager eye and willing ear, / Lovingly shall nestle near. In a Wonderland they lie, / Dreaming as the days go by, / Dreaming as the summers die: Ever drifting down the stream - / Lingering in the golden gleam - / Life what is it but a dream? - Lewis Carroll. This is another cosplay shoot with my friend Ella. Here she cosplay’s Alice from American McGee’s Alice, A horror, action/adventure game from the 2000’s Model: Canon EOS 50D / Lens: Canon 18-200mm IS / ISO: 400 / Aperture: f5.6 / Shutter Speed: 1/25th sec / WB: Auto / Focus Type: AF / Focal Length: 110mm / Style: Macabre
