Signage Melbourne
On the first day of my stay in Melbourne while on route to the Ballarat International Foto Biennale I met up with some friends and we went to the old Convent in … I think… Abbotsford. Apart from it being a very beautiful place to just wander about in… there is a fabulous new artspace and gallery there which I am interested in for a possible exhibition next year. Anyway the jusxtaposition of the old and the new everywhere in this amazing place was a real photographers delight…. this is one of the random snaps I took while wandering about enjoying the beautiful spring weather and the company of my new friends…..

cool – I like this kind of unpretentious older signage. There’s something about ‘classic’ advertising that seems acceptable and poignant whereas standard modern posters and billboards are usually just noisy and intrusive and spoiling decent views of more interesting stuff : nice work!
Juilee Pryor replied
hi berndt2 and thanks heaps… I love this old style signage as well… it’s sort of elegant and understated…. nowdays there is just no escaping from the damned ads everywhere….. at least time has softened the intent of this old sign…...:)
