i had forgotten that i had already scanned this drawing! glad i found it. this is a pencil drawing of victoria’s secret model, adriana lima. i believe that this is a very old picture of her, she looks very young here. / 11×14in smooth bristol paper. i don’t like the way scanned pencil drawings look – seems like they lose the darks… detail /
You know the song . immense field of flowers stretching as far as the eye could see, it was impossible not to step on them
An abandoned Victorian Italianate style house (c.1880-90) in Annandale, an inner city suburb of Sydney. Sitting proudly in a corner position of this hip and happening suburb, it had once been loved and cared for – if you look closely, you can see that one of the previous owners, at some stage, installed an alarm – a measure sure to deter possible intruders. Today, some of the lacework is missing, the fence posts have deteriorated, the concrete probably has cancer, the garden is full of weeds, steps to the front door are missing…will nobody love it anymore?
Sydney Harbour Bridge – a popular and much loved Sydney icon. So totally photogenic that people travel from far and wide to photograph it, to say they’ve seen it, walked on it, climbed it and driven over it. There is a working side to the bridge, too. It took 1400 men to build, 53,000 tonnes of steel, over 6 million hand driven rivets, 272,000 litres of paint just for the first 3 coats alone, it requires constant daily maintenance, it carries hundreds of trains each day, over 150,000 cars daily traverse it’s span and countless commuters, cyclists and tourists walk and cycle along the pedestrian and cycle ways. Celebrating what is still today an engineering feat, this is my tribute to our bridge.
thank you Cordelia for the glorious bunch of gerberas you gave me, rich in colour and absolutely photogenic : ) thank you Dana DiPasquale who posed the question – how do you get reflections in a water drop – the answer for me, would have to be by sheer fluke/luck and 1,000 attempts of which one may show a reflection ; )

looked to my pillow but it didn’t feel right
This started off simply enough with an image of a pear and an unwillingness to buy kitchen art when I thought I could give it a go for myself. After applying additional image layers and making brushes out of some of my other images, this is the final result. This will definitely hang in my kitchen! Best viewed large
...a song by Guitar Slim from sometime in the 1950’s, when this caravan first came out. Photo taken at the annual Fifties Fair 2008 now in it’s 14th year and held at Rose Deidler House Great day out to experience the sights and sounds of the 1950’s!
I thought this might be nice in canvas for my bedroom. tulips are still stunning flowers even when they’re past their best.
Image for a challenge using plain white paper. Using long exposure and torchlight to light the area, this is what I came up with. exp – 8 seconds / f3.5 / iso 80 / FL 31mm / eveready torch with piano certificate held in front to diffuse the torchlight, only other props include sticky tape and one sheet of plain white photocopy paper, and lots of patience. At one stage, a rotating multi-coloured disco light was involved, but this was soon abandoned due to the law of physics/light not matching the image in my head :(
Well, it isn’t at all. It’s that scary forest that frightend me, so I don’t know why I can’t stop looking at the shots I took of it – they’re enough to give me nightmares.
Taken using natural lighting, a 2 second exposure and f3.2 used on super macro setting.
The result of a recent adventure organised by the wonderful Rose Moxon – what a lot of fun was had! ; ) Art Direction: Rose Moxon / Photography & Editing: Mel Brackstone / Additional textures added, and model: me : ) / Location: Balmoral Beach, NSW
Once upon a time there was a little girl who simply loved shoes. She loved high heeled shoes and flat shoes, sensible shoes and silly shoes. In fact, she thought all shoes were beautiful. Then one day while out shopping, the most beautiful pair of shoes called out to her from the nearby shoe shop shelf. “Hello little girl who loves shoes,” said the black shiny shoes (for everybody in the land knew that this was the little girl who simply loved shoes). Well, the little girl fell instantly in love with the black shiny shoes but alas she didn’t have a special occasion to wear them to and so couldn’t take them home with her, so she spoke kindly to the shoes, “Oh, sweet little shoes, you truly are the most beautiful shoes I’ve ever seen, but I have no special place to wear you. The only way I can take you home is if the Shoe Fairy grants me a wish – if only I had a fancy-dancy ball to wear you to, then I would bring you home and wear you to the ball and we would dance, and we would be so very happy!” That afternoon, when the little girl checked the letterbox, what should she find but a pink and silver envelope and in that envelope was a shiny pink and silver invitation to a fancy-dancy ball. The shoe fairy had granted the little girl her wish!! The little girl was so happy, she rushed back to tell all her other shoes she would be bringing a new shoe friend over to meet them. So the little girl got into her shiny little car and drove back to the shops as fast as she could (without speeding of course, because that would be silly and dangerous and really not necessary). And there they were – her black shiny shoes with the most beautiful satin ribbon – waiting for her. The little girl was so happy at being able to buy those beautiful shiny black shoes, that she celebrated by buying a new shiny red dress with the most beautiful shiny red satin ribbon. And they lived happily ever after. And as she lay down to sleep after the fancy-dancy ball, the happy little girl who simply loved shoes was heard to whisper, “thank you Shoe Fairy, I love you Shoe Fairy,” which made the Shoe Fairy smile. Inspired by the wonderful TTV images of Jules Campbell. Please view her TTV images, they really are quite exceptional. (taken with argus argoflex 75 and canon S5)
