Life’s a gamble!
A local casino type place let me take the camera in. The place was quite apart from a dear old lady, belting away at the jackpot machine.. I wondered if it might have been pension day!
Crown Towers hotel, with flaming pylons along the Yarra. The fireball shows take place approximately 3,000 times a year, and each show consists of hundreds of fireballs with diameters of between three and seven metres. / fireballs, which are discharged from flame towers at regular intervals, burnt significant amounts of gas and contributed to global warming.
The Venetian, Macau. The Venetian is a 40-story, $1.8 billion anchor for the 7 resort hotels which are under construction on the Cotai Strip in Macau. The 10,500,000-square-foot (980,000 m²) Venetian Macao is modeled on its sister casino resort – the The Venetian in Las Vegas – and is the largest single structure hotel building in Asia and the second-largest building in the world. They wouldn’t allow me to take photos in the gambling zone, but if you look closely at the first floor you’d see the number of tables available to eat your money away. I swear there’s over 300 tables down there. Correction: The casino consists of over 1000 slot machines and more than 600 gaming tables that are open around the clock. Amazing.

Just when the Don is thinkin’ that everything is going his way, he turns and Oops,... That’s going to put a krink in his day,... to be sure… / Acrylic on illustration board. I did this about 5 years ago for a book that didn’t get published, so all the rights went back to me. Hope you dig it. / 8.5×10

My little tribute to Conan on his first week as the new host of the Tonight Show. The opening segment on the first night was great! / Go Conan go!
Another one of my abstract experiments. Hope you dig it.
Another of the abstract experiments I’ve been doing. Photoshop helped me do this and i’m sticking to that. / Enjoy.
I designed this as a cool desktop picture. Maybe James Bond fans would like it on a t-shirt?
This might look like a promo shot for “Noddy’s Adventures In Toyland” but it was shot here in Melbourne. I shot in mid-July this year, pretty much at the midway mark of the Australian winter. It’s actually a reflection of a Melbourne street in the vicinity of Crown Casino – and I was fascinated by the fact that the huge Ford Falcon taxis looked like little yellow imitations of the car driven by Noddy, the character created by Enid Blyton. Even the street sign has morphed (because of the reflection) into a tiny blue label that reminds me of the “Par Avion” (by air mail) labels on an old-fashioned snail mail envelope. You can see it just above the dead-centre point of this shot. In case you’re wondering about the reflective surface, it’s actually the convex outer housing of a rear-view mirror on a bus. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F8, 1/250 sec, ISO 200, focal length 98mm.

Deathstars Live @ The Corner Hotel, Melbourne, Australia Arriving at the Corner Hotel somewhat late – knowing full-well that the venue rarely has a designated photo-pit area isn’t the smartest thing to do. If I was to get any decent shots tonight I was gonna have to hustle through the crowd and pretty much hope for the best. Catching the tail-end of Sydney act Ink, (they weren’t too bad at all) – I slapped on my photo-pass around the neck and proceeded with the ’scuse-me-shuffle’ to the front of the stage. Surprised to find a make-shift barrier that was all of half-a-foot deep. Hardly enough room to work in comfortably and if the stage-diving, high-flying Dr Marten’s boots made an appearance, I’d be in trouble. I briefly chatted with a couple of the other photogs present, trading some war-stories and the like. The band hit the stage at 11.15. Gotta luv punctual bands huh? To be perfectly honest, I wasn’t too familiar with the Deathstars’ material but I had purchased their latest release ‘Night Electric Night’ several months ago and did enjoy it. Knowing that they also are a visual band pleased me to no end. If you’re going to get up on that stage, look the part. Take pride in your appearance and give the kids a show. That is what rock n roll is all about and tonight… tonight the Deathstars delivered in spades! They looked great. They sounded fantastic and they brought to Melbourne a kick ass, (helluva) sweaty vampiric rock gig that most of the goth boys and girls lapped all up. More at the Visceral Industry
Thought I should bring this back out of mothballs as will be published in AUSTRALIAN PHOTGRAPHIC SOCIETY’S IMAGE MAGAZINE…..........that is if I can FIND IT in my filing system and by then they may have changed their minds!! STUCK in a HARD PLACE!!

HERE YOU and I are also reponsible for this disgraceful behaviour. split values in society! Men MUST be responsible and so MUST women. No use crying “WOLF” after the event. Both women and men MUST protect themselves. Lives changed by foolish decisions. behaviour in society/on the streets which is NOT acceptable. BRUMBY GOVT. allowing MORE party drinking venues in our CITY CENTRE of MELBOURNE. NOT enough police on our streets TELEVISION serving up a pile of RUBBISH ….I see suggested RAPE scenes/SEX on MELBOURNE TV. A warning to the viewer does NOT mean it is ok for US to be served out this RUBBISH/ CERTAIN types of REALITY TV have helped pave the way for this behaviour in our homes/schools/streets/etc…..... / MUSIC:I have listened to music which actually suggests sex/sleeping around….......DRUGS and ALCOHOL RADIO: YOU are also responsible NEWSPAPERS/MAGAZINES: YOU are also responsible.
