Going Home. Fitzroy North.

Thanks Colleen – I’m sure you’ll get back one day…. (PS – I just replaced the version you viewed with one with slightly higher contrast… I thought it looked lots too flat when I saw it up here)

For me it happens sometimes, and I don’t know why only sometimes – that doesn’t seem to make sense…
And I’m in exactly the same boat as you re disk space – My computer regularly now just suddenly says STOP – and that’s it until I can dump another few hundred images that I have to decide are duds and I’ll never do anything with… :(((

Thanks lots Aglaia – this isn’t the kind of image I’ve had any practice putting together – but I just had to as I really love Fitzroy so much…

Thanks so much Vonne – even though I LOVE the country – I think I’m really an inner city type person overall (and my kids sure are! :)))

Thanks so much! I tried – took a fair few from different perspectives – liked this angle the best – and the lovely warm light from the cafe window across the road at the other end was an added bonus :)))

Yes! Have to take it always…. I’m glad you like how this turned out – as you might have noticed I’ve not had much experience with this type of image lol…

Thank you my friend – and big hug for you too

Thanks Linaji! I’ very glad you like it – I like it that there are friendly and community aspects to be found in parts of inner city life that are sometimes considered not so ‘nice’...

Thanks so much Bev – this is just REALLY local… :)))
K xx

I think you’re right…

Thanks Scott :)))

Thanks Clare – the person who has LOTS more experience at this type of image than me… that’s just what these old laneways are like – warm rusted corrugated iron that’s falling apart, cold fresher metal – cool blue graffiti in this one – and I really like the touch of the warm and welcoming lights in the window of the cafe across the street at the other end…

Thanks Ryan! Fitzroy is cool :)))

Thanks so much Jan! It had been ‘sitting there’, just waiting for me to photograph it for the past 8 years (well – the laneway has actually been there LOTS longer lol…) and I really love the inner city laneways with their bluestones, falling down old rusted corrugated iron and graffitied fences… When Freja was a baby – she wasn’t a big one for sleeping. I would spend hours every day virtually sleepwalking her in her pram up and down all these streets and laneways to try to get her to sleep – the drunks and the druggies loved having a mother with a new baby around… my only concern was that if they wanted to touch her – well – to put it mildly – their hygiene left a fair bit to be desired…. ;)))

Thank you so much my friend – I really tried my best to do justice to this place that’s as close as ‘home’ in a way… :)))

That’s right – the alleyway was ‘just there’ – begging to be photographed… it’s a cafe across the road showing the beautiful warm light in the window. I think this end of Fitzroy has got too expensive for too many students now – but I lived not too far from here as a student once too…
K xx

Thanks! So so many of them are… I’ll have to get around to looking for more now :)))

Thank you very much anna – the atmosphere was really already there – I just tried to enhance what could be sensed through the image… :)))

Thank you Antanas – I’m glad it seems to work – this is not the type of potography I have much experience with :)))

Thanks very much – I love the mood of the whole area, so maybe that comes across :)))

Thanks – it’s an area with a lot of ‘ambiance’... :)))

Thanks so much! it’s actually the light in the window of a lovely little cafe :)))
