I have taken this double exposure with my toycamera Holga on film. / The cityview is taken from Eureka sky deck in Melbourne. / This beautiful sentence was tagged on a house in Brunswick near mine, but a week later the owner gave it a clean… / With this photo I can always remember it.

A salute to my favourite INXS song “Johnson’s Aeroplane”. “From a small aeroplane, you can see the sea. Lots of blue, very deep blue”. This week I had the incredible luck of flying in a 4 seater plane and having my first try at aerial photography – great fun!! It was such a fantastic day and Perth was looking its best on a 27 degree spring day. Thanks heaps to Malcolm the pilot, Mum and Dad!! :))) For enquires about canvas prints, or photographic prints larger than Redbubble options, please contact me via bubblemail
It’s my version of a dreamy aerial view of New York City. / It’s an ideal image for protection and gentleness for a City (or even a person).

I really hate to put so much work into something and then post / it as “Untitled.” Sometimes I just can’t thing of anything to call it, / but I will try my darndest to come up with a name. While I was contemplating this, I saw an aerial view of rooftops and city streets below. It made me think of the lengths we go through to compartmentalize ourselves and to protect our personal space with barriers, both concrete and emotional. Don’t get me wrong: civilization is good … I like my creature comforts. But I have always been able to feel lonely in a crowd.
Thought it might be appropriate to put this pic back to the top of the pile / as the middle east becomes a killing ground…. / the picture on screen shows a father desperately trying to shield his son / from Israeli gunfire…...he didn’t …the boy died!
“Ghost in the Machine” was the title of a book authored by Arthur Koestler. Koestler claims that mankind is moving towards self-destruction. Koestler states that the human brain is built upon primitive brain structures, and that these are the “ghost in the machine”. At times these structures can overpower higher logical functions, and are responsible for hate, anger and other such destructive impulses. The Police titled their 1981 album “Ghost in the Machine”. This is where I first heard of this concept. My t-shirt design interpretation of this attempts to graphically represent that man made machines manifest behaviours or events that cannot be explained. These behaviours or events are not programmed, they are the product of the machine taking its own course. These are reflections of our primitive destructive impluses within the machines that we have created…. as the machines are a reflection of us, they are likely to display self destructive behaviour just as we do…..

Taken in flight over Italy. Canon EOS 40D / Canon Lens:28-135 Thank you REDBUBBLE for featuring my photograph “The Italian Alps” on the Home Page. I am extremely honored and very surprised to say the least. Today is a happy day! February 9, 2009 Warmest Regards, Bonnie Blanton *The Ligurian Alps are a mountain range in northwestern Italy. They form the south-western extremity of the Alps, separated from the Apennines by the Colle di Cadibona. The Col de Tende separates them from the Maritime Alps. They form the border between Piedmont in the north and Liguria in the south. / The Ligurian Alps are drained by the Tanaro River and other tributaries of the Po River on the Piemontese side; by several smaller rivers that flow directly to the Mediterranean Sea on the Ligurian side. / The chief peaks of the Ligurian Alps are Punta Marguareis (2651 m) and Monte Mongioie (2630 m). There are several other peaks over 2000 m. (Excerpted from Wikipedia)

Mt. Rainier. Airplane rides make me antsy. So en route to a destination, I find ways and look for things to relax myself. A view like this sometimes helps. :)

I have taken it for granted, as axiomatic, that I am "something", even something very valuable, something I have never questioned. At the same time I am unable to explain to another what this something is. Is the reason I do not know because, in fact, this "something" does not exist but is merely assumed to exist? the real question is not ‘who’ am I, but ‘what’ am I? (Gurdjieff)
The listless sun deceived our farewell, / boats were leaving like flies, / birds puckered up like toothless mouths / and fell stiff and dead from the heavens. When I was alone under the yellow sky / where my eyes were ripping up rags, / I turned out my pockets / in the hope of finding an exile companion. There was nothing in them / nothing but dust from the roads, / nothing but roads of misery, / nothing but dead queens nailed to wooden beams. (René Daumal)

The calendar Because I’m married to a cartographer, and worked in the survey/engineering/mapping industries for many years, images like this have always interested me. Somewhere in outback NSW on a flight from Brisbane to Adelaide. Out near Maude, I think. Shot with an infrared digital camera, and treated to look like Kodak Tri-X 400TX Pro.
