A photo of some inner-city graffiti that is neither functionless nor ugly, as most graffiti is seen.
This is picture is from an original artwork composed from graffiti elements found around various cities and re-done in composite form. The original is a 500×500 canvas print.
I nice survivor of the older industrial architecture in central Melbourne, slowly being encroached upon by graffiti and new age architecture.
My current favourite angle of Melbourne. Hosier Lane is FULL of collaborative art, it’s a real stand out faeture of this city, I tried to capture here the biggest chunck of the scene as i could.
Centre Place, Melbourne, Australia. 26 May 2007.
City living – not exactly at it’s best!

Here’s my famous red vinyl chair and red phone! These have been used in quite a few photo shoots now – although, this is the first photo where the two items get in the limelight. This laneway is located near Hosier Lane in Melbourne, adorned with graffiti and stencil art. Getting the phone to the laneway from the carpark at Fed Square was easy. Getting the chair there wasn’t!
The wonderful thing about this photo is that it’s a corner that is no longer there. I spotted this “eye” while walking along in Soho, NYC back in early 2005 and now there is a new Andre Balaz condominium building. So…I’m glad I took the shot now. After all…I’m sure YOU have an eye on someone…so it may give you a “lift” by just looking at it, right? ;)
A street photography shot of urban art on an East London street in 2007
A street photography shot taken in East London 2007. I went back there recently and this image has been completely painted over. I’m glad I was able to capture what was a brief yet beautiful scene that has now gone forever

Artists Deb & Vexta, the piece to the left is by LADIE POIS
This stencil was created in early 2008 inspired by fashion photography and damp cold London. Recently cut stencil with one layer from an older stencil of a zebra in pink on her dress, with hand drawn cobbled stones. The canvas itself is 3 times in length this is just a mere snap shot of the original piece. This piece is 1 of 3, utilising the same same stencil and composition of works I’ve posted on Red Bubble at the moment. The other is ‘snow and umbrella’ and ‘rain birds’
The main stencil image is one layer of the four layer stencil I created in early 2008 inspired by my interest in fashion photography. ‘Snow and Umbrella’ is 1 of 3, utilising the same same stencil and composition of works I’ve posted on Red Bubble at the moment. The other is ‘Rain Birds’ and ‘Umbrella and Rain’.
Went on a little stroll around the city today to shoot a couple of laneways with Flamegirl for Laneway Magazine who requested some shots of this little spot. This is the same lane as shot in my Hosier Lane but up the other end facing the other way :D I’ve been using HDR sparingly lately but it helps to bring out so much character in these laneways that I simply can’t resist. This is also one of my first goes experimenting with the square format too! / Settings Canon 5D, 17-40mm f4 L USM. FL: 17 mm 1/160th of a second @ f4 (Multiple Exposures), ISO 800 No Filters Adobe Lightroom 2, HDR in Photomatix Pro & Stitched together in Adobe Photoshop CS4 Click here for my other images of laneways and graffiti Click here for my other images of Melbourne
