This series of panaramas was taken with a handmade camera using 120 film. The eccentric nature of the image is probably down to the eccentric nature of the camera! My father made it for me out of painted panels of MDF and a bit of twiddling …. oh and really nice Mamiya 1:6.3, 65mm lens. This is one of my favourite driveby images in the city hub. Its looking back towards the city and at the Redfern Housing Commission Blocks at the back edge of Redfern and Surry Hills. If you look really closely you will see a tiny little Centrepoint Tower next to the smallest of the tower blocks. Just over to the right of that in the sky is a tiny little dot which is actally a helicopter flying a huge Aussie flag. Because of the size and quality of the negative, if this was blown up to mural size you would be able to see the all the details on the flag and the helicopter. I would estimate this negative to be the equivent of around 250-300 megapixels. Film will never die! The colour balance is what happened when I scanned it and I love it . It seems to suit the other worldly sense of place in this image. I hope you guys like it too. Below is a thumbnail of some Dad’s camera’s His camera always produced much better photo ’s technically than mine but I maintain that the mistakes I made with mine made for a more interesting image :) /

Another not entirely right panorama from a camera my father made. Using these little cameras were a bit of a trick at times but the results were so various and mad that I love them. There are only five in this series.

For the Ruins, Ancient and Derelict Buildings Group / / Glastonbury Abbey / / For centuries travellers and pilgrims have visited the sacred site of Glastonbury Abbey situated in the heart of the town of Glastonbury (of the famous rock festival) in the beautiful county of Somerset. Traditionally it was the seat of Christianity in England and is steeped in legend and myth. / / It is believed by some, that the grave of King Arthur is within the grounds, and that Joseph of Arimathea once visited, his staff becoming the Holy Thorn that grows there, and which flowers twice a year. / / © photogenique (dave peddie): using this image for any purpose and in any way, without prior permission, may lead to legal action. / / Do check out Marylee Martin’s growing portfolio / / / /

Glastonbury Tor / / If Glastonbury Abbey is surounded by myth and legend, then Glastonbury Tor is moreso. / / In early-medieval times there was a small monks’ retreat on top of the Tor, founded probably in the time of St Patrick in the mid-400s. This was followed in the early 1100s by a chapel, St Michael de Torre. This was destroyed in a powerful earthquake in 1275 and rebuilt in the early 1300s. The tower is all that remains today. / / The myths associated with the Tor are wide ranging. Is it a magic mountain, a faeries’ glass hill, a spiral castle, a Grail castle, an Arthurian hill-fort, a magnetic power-point, a crossroads of leys or even a converging point for UFOs? / / Even in the 21st Century, these myths are still very active, not surprisingly, as the Tor is some 500 feet high and a most striking landmark. / / © photogenique (dave peddie): using this image for any purpose and in any way, without prior permission, may lead to legal action. / / Do check out LauraO’s growing portfolio / / / /

You often find things like these diskettes laying about, or hard drives and backup tapes etc. I often wonder what is on them, but i have a firm rule about not taking any artefacts from a site. I have known someone recover a video tape from a demolished site though and recover the content to find a training video for the site from when it was active which was really interesting.

BETTER VIEWED LARGER Cockatoo Island is listed under the National Trust and has been returned tto the people not the developers ! It is now a very interesting tourist destination on Sydney Harbour, there is even camping on the island. The history of Cockatoo Island is emblematic of Australia’s history. Before the arrival of Europeans, it was undoubtedly used by the first Australians, the Aboriginal tribes of Sydney’s coastal region. In 1839 it was chosen as the site of a new penal establishment by the Governor of the colony of New South Wales, Sir George Gipps. Convicts were put to work building prison barracks, a military guardhouse and official residences. Not long after, the maritime history of Cockatoo Island began with the construction of the Fitzroy Dock by convicts. For the next 50 years the island was both a place of incarceration and the site of the colony’s ship repair and shipbuilding activities. During the twentieth century maritime activity grew, notably during World War I and World War II. For a time, Cockatoo Island was the largest shipbuilding yard in Australia. When the shipyard closed in 1992, Cockatoo Island lay dormant for a decade until the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust was established and given the responsibility of revitalising this significant site. The Trust is rehabilitating the island and creating one of the most unusual places to visit in the city. See More From the Cockatoo Island Series / Cockatoo Island Series

BETTER VIEWED LARGER A monument to Lithgow’s industrial history. It was here that the first iron and the first steel in Australia were cast. William Sandford established the blast furnace in 1886 and it continued production until 1928 when the entire industry was moved to Port Kembla. The site has now been developed as a park around the remains of the pump house and the foundations of the furnace In order to meet the obligations of his contract, Sandford built a new blast furnace with a capacity of 1,000 tons per week the funds for which were secured through a significant bank overdraft (Brown 1989, p.74). The bank was to shortly foreclose on Sandford’s loan, with the operations then passing to G & C Hoskins. After George and Cecil Hoskins took over the Steel Works in 1908 the business began to thrive. In an attempt to make the local steel industry more viable, the Hoskins Brothers persuaded the government to pay a bounty for Australian produced steel. The Hoskins Brothers moved their operations from Rhodes in Sydney to Lithgow and began to make significant advancements. Lithgow was to become renown for its steel production, with thousands of tons of steel being produced for the Trans-Australia Railway. In the first year of production, the Steel Works treated 51,000 tons of ore and employed 632 people (Lithgow Public School 1947). By 1926 the steel furnaces had turned out 178,000 tons of ore, resulting in 105,000 tons of pig iron (Lithgow Public School 1947).
