ink on watercolor paper. 11” x 14” meant as a sort of joke. / I was in the starbucks on the corner of franklin and highland around january last year when i drew this as a sort of commentary about all of the fancy super-hero costumes people wear around there…

Halfway down a staircase at this abandoned mill is a lonely wicker basket, just sitting idling in a window now that the site is closed.

A close up of an old plastic CD storage case on my desk. It was dark in the room, but sunlight came through the blinds making for a high contrast shot. Cropped, desaturated and contrast boosted. Featured in ‘Just Lines’
This cameo was in a dark corner, but I couldn’t bypass it! Have fiddled in PS and blended a second photo of pebbles to add to the aged look. FEATURED in For the love of Jesus Group June 2009 Landscapes Trees Cards EOD Rusty Flowers Architecture Macro CatchAll DM
MUCH BETTER VIEWING EXPERIENCE VIEWED LARGER Yesd me hanging over that bannister again ! and yes I am infatuated with this staircase, but it has so many different angles to view it Thanks for dropping in your viewings,comments and if i’m lucky FAVOURITES are greatly appreciated. The Queen Victoria Building is currently undergoing a facelift at $37.5 / million , one of the features is upgrading the paintwork to victorian period colours. This image shows “The Grand Staircase* of Sydneys Grand Queen Victoria Building, and is an example of how grand old buildings can be restored ans still be used as money making concerns, in this case a grand shopping experience The Queen Victoria Building, now affectionately known as the QVB, was designed by George McRae and completed in 1898, replacing the original Sydney markets on the site. Built as a monument to the long reigning monarch, construction took place in dire times, as Sydney was in a severe recession. The elaborate Romanesque architecture was specially planned for the grand building so the Government could employ many out-of-work craftsmen – stonemasons, plasterers, and stained window artists – in a worthwhile project. Originally, a concert hall, coffee shops, offices, showrooms, warehouses and a wide variety of tradespeople, such as tailors, mercers, hairdressers and florists, were accommodated. The QVB fills an entire city block bound by George, Market, York and Druitt Streets. The dominant feature is the mighty centre dome, consisting of an inner glass dome and an exterior copper- sheathed dome. Glorious stained glass windows and splendid / architecture endure throughout the building and an original 19th century staircase sits alongside the dome. Every detail has been faithfully restored, including arches, pillars, balustrades and the intricate tiled floors thus maintaining the integrity of the building. / The visual message of Sydney’s coat of arms, on the cartwheel stained glass window, is that the beehive depicts business, the sailing ship – trade, and the dolphins – the harbour. Panel 1, on the left hand side, represents the Council of the City of Sydney, and symbols of architecture, while the letters I.G.B. on panel 3, on the right, represent Ipoh Gardens Berhad, the Malaysian company who restored the QVB. The symbols are of property developers – the builders. The bottom central panel represents the heraldic symbol of a finished building and the joining of two hands denotes the fusing of two cultures. There are many interesting and charming exhibitions and attractions throughout the building, along with portraits of the Queen. There is also a letter from Queen Elizabeth II to the Citizens of Sydney to be opened and read by the Lord Mayor of Sydney in the year 2085. Outside the QVB, on Town Hall Place, facing The Town Hall are the Royal Wishing Well and Queen Victoria’s statue.

Endless beautiful baskets at the Lost City Museum. Nevada.
Sometimes the simplest objects can create intriguing results. This is a contemporary pencil case made from multiple strips of brightly coloured fabric. My eye was caught by the long vertical strips of interlocking teeth – and the fact that each strip ends in a metal tab. The sharp focus of the tabs in front was perfect to use depth of field to emphasise the fact that the rear tabs (literally only a centimetre away) were visible but in soft focus. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D in dull light, using my favourite lens, a Sigma 18-125mm. Featured in CONTRASTING PERCEPTIONS, August 2009. 117-9265
