A grungy gritty, rundown alleyway – the heart of Melbourne is maimed.
Captured with my Pentax k100D tweaked in the GIMP.

fantastic-i loved derilict and decaying buildings-really good shot-theres a real abstract feeling to your work.
Celia Coulter
thanks! I admit, I do like abstract patterns, they just attract my attention. And texture, love texture.

I really like this photo too Celia, it jumped right out at me. I agree with cjay that you work has an abstract feel to it. All the best with your art classes!

thanks everyone for your comments.
I love cracked peeling, gritty grimy walls with character and living etched upon them. Luckily Melbourne has lots.
I love Melbourne

Well spotted, and beautifully captured/cropped. Love the grungy colour – looks like a Renaissance painting – transported to the 21st Century!

I really like your urban shots, and I really Like my Pentax K1000s I have 2 =P I favor them over my 2 Pentax MX bodies, buuuut the spotmatic wins over the K1000. The shutter just has the most mazing sound.
