Real Fucking Idiots

geez louise that was quick and yes the packs of roaming wild dogs is a nice touch but that was certainly Sydney in the early eighties…much less glitzy and swish than it is now that’s for sure….....glad you like it though…....:)

hey thanks you…. yes the spelling mistake is actually the anarchy sign crossed out…. I’ve got another version where the graffitti is clearer but the image is less dynamic…... anyway yes Sydney ….. fabulous even when she’s grotty and run down…... I love this city…....:)

thanks heaps Christine…... yes it’s like an abandoned movie set or something….. but it was very gritty city back in the early eighties….. glad you like it…...:)

that’s my pleasure my dear…..I don’t nessesarily subscribe to the ‘if you can’t beat them join them’ set….... I’ll just have to post stronger work to conterbalance the other energies and tendencies that also exist here in bubbleland…..

thanks heaps Royboy…. yes very punk and post punk times then…. and the city was much grittyer place then…. not so much money around as now days…... I’m so glad I use film though…. if this had been shot on digital it would have most likey been deleted straight away but now twenty five years later….. it its relevant in a totally unexpected way….... amazing

thanks you deaddadaist…. I love dada….. and it was a really punk era which looking back now at images like this…. its does seem like a movie set…. and it was such a surreal time back then that it suits it perfectly

it was a punk plunk though….

the whole urban landscape changes slowly enough that we really don’t notice it happening around us till we see stuff like this to be honest and it reminds us of what we have lost….. and I agree with the deaddadaist comment below…. deriliction has its own beauty and inevitablity….. it works for me…..

I think you may well be completely correct young sir!

hey you….. yes its all about something else …. also I”ve been scanning some stuff from then and this came up and the sentiment was timely…...... :)

hi marniesmith…. it’s all in the way we say the things we say…... inflection is everything…. which doesn’t really come across in the 2D world but basically yes your right….. :)

hi there you….. I just need to step back abit and take a reality check…... but in the end I really like posting images and chatting so I’m still here…....:)

hey thanks Zolton….. I have more….....:)

thanks ShepS…..this was taken a long time ago and it’s got that old sort of look…. Sydney is really glitzy and swish these days…. you would never find a building in the inner city that looks like this one now…....... glad you like it though…...:)

thanks Col….. yes I was suprised by this image too when it turned up ….. there were just these two images on the end of a roll of film from another photo shot….. so a nice suprise anyway…...:glad you like this sort of gritty shot…...

hey thanks Paul…..and yes the grainy look of film that’s been ‘maturing’ for 25 years…... gives the image some other sort of reality…..

ha ha thanks Andy….. yes only a un-photograher would find this an interesting vista I think….. not your average tourist shot and all that…... really glad you like it….:)

hi pingpong….. I wouldn’t be suprised to find our paths had crossed… and yes I remember Kill the King…. those wild days back then….can’t believe it now but oh well…....

hey thanks mausue….. glad you like it

hey there Kreddible … and hey thanks and help your self… pull up an easy chair and go for it…. :)

hi ya Thomas and thanks…. and it’s not just happening in Melbourne…... :)
