wishful thinking

Life can be pretty black and white sometimes…...

This was shot many years ago in the grimy inner city suburb of Newtown while waiting for a train at St Peters Station…... the inner city can be a fairly fraught place to be in sometimes so CityRail kindly placed a lovely billboard of a rainforest ajacent to the platform to sooth the harried traveller…... it advertises nothing but a little bit of wishful thinking and dream beliving…..... and I’m all for that….....:)

What a cool idea!!

Not a bad shot, too…..........
Juilee Pryor replied

thanks Roy barry….. don’t look to closely it’s fairly cruddy shot technically but I think I was laughing at the preposterous cheek of Cityrail’s thinking while I was taking the shot…..you know….lets not waste money cleaning the trains or making them run on time….. we’ll just distract the peasants with a nice billboard…... made me laugh so I guess it worked…....:)

I’m just hanging out in your folio.It’s a pretty awesome place to hang.There’s a lot that I’ve missed of your incredible work :-)
Juilee Pryor replied

hi Sticky…. as I remember it… this was a really crap photo so I just had a fiddle about with the selective colouring… it’s not something I do a lot of to be honest…... really glad you like it though… and thrilled you have taken the time to have little look through some of my older work….. cheers dear….:)
