I used to go to a disco in this street many moons ago. I wondered whether it was through that doorway and downstairs to the basement. I remember seeing Stevie Wright’s band play there. Maybe someone could enlighten me on where it was. The street has changed so much over the years but was always interesting. I remember a great cake shop with Viennese style cakes and a place that I could buy vegetarian food-that was in the late sixties-for those who remember. ha ha ha! Later CAE art classes with Mirka Mora when I took my son to ‘cause he didn’t want to go to school that day. I’m sure he learned more there that day than he would have at school. My mother and grandmother (and I suppose great-grandmother) always had a love of the little lanes and streets of Melbourne and we would always walk up Degraves street and cross Flinders Lane meander through Block Arcade on our way to the ‘must see’ Royal Arcade to look at Gog and Magog with the clock. Then off the gallery that used to be housed along with the museum in the State Library of Victoria building. Yesterday to continue that tradition I took my grandaughter through these streets and then we went to the galleries at Fed Square and then St Kilda road. At 3 and a half – she loved those places as I’ve no doubt that Melbourne is singing in her blood. The family has been here since 1856! Looks like we are here to stay!!!

Oil painting on canvas 50×60cm I had taken this picture in March 2008 while doing my galleries walk with friends in Melbourne city. I kept it for a while because do not know how to paint wet day. Recently I came across an Australian Artist magazine and was inspired by artist Mike Barr painting rainy day. It was a challege with all the dark grey and bright building. I really enjoyed playing with the reflections of light and water at the final stage.

Okay, so maybe this is homage to Sweeney Todd, the demon barber of Fleet Street – or not! I shot this in Degraves Street, Melbourne, yesterday. The weather was very cloudy and there was a chill winter wind, so all the gas heaters on the street were turned up high. I was on the lookout for vibrant colour – and there is never any shortage in this area. I only shot about two dozen frames as I didn’t have much time to spare, but this sight really caught my eye. Despite the black wall and the brown background of both these large signs, I thought it would be great to compose a frame that included the classic red-and-white striped pole, as well as part of the lit interior of the shop. I was just about to hit the shutter when the woman with long ash-blonde hair walked past, so I included her in the shot as well. Even though she is anonymous and out of the main focus zone, she really does fit the message of the image. The use of the word “forces” is interesting and almost harks back to World War II. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigm 18-125mm lens. F8, 1/45, ISO 800, focal length 68mm. Featured in NUMBERS ONE TO A TRILLION, July 2009. 116-8661

Can you guess what I’ve shot here? If you need a clue, just remember it’s winter here in Australia …. Yes, it’s a tall outdoor gas heater above a cafe table in Degraves Street. Yes, those are leaping flames. If you look carefully at the enclosed ring, you’ll actually see that the bottom section of the flames appear as a slender ring of blue, below the orange and red. I walked up and down the street, peering at every single gas heater. Some had very low flames. Some had difficult backgrounds. Some were in deeper shade than others. But this heater was turned up high, the flames were a brilliant colour, the light was almost passable, there was an interesting sheen on the perforated metal and the green-and-yellow-and-pink background drew me in because I love using depth of field. It was cold, with a chill, biting wind. It was overcast. It had just stopped raining. But as I concentrated on getting the shot right, I was very warm. And if you were among the people dining under the warmth of these gas heaters, you might remember giving me some quizzical looks as I walked up and down the narrow street, peering closely at the flames and trying to be unobtrusive! I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens, on 16 July 2009. F5.6, 1/10 sec, ISO 800, focal length 125mm. 116-8791

The interior of one of the small rustic looking cafe / restaurants in Degraves Street, Melbourne. The lane way is crammed with cafes and restaurants, with tables and chairs packed to capacity down the centre of the lane. European influence has a lot to do with why this hidden feature of Melbourne city ended up this way. I don’t think I have ever walked down Degraves Street and seen it empty. Places like this are the reason I love living in Melbourne so much. Bit of colour blanching and lightening of contrast, all done in photoshop. Original photo slightly cropped (to remove a mac book from the view!) Title inspired by Beth Orton’s song of the same name.
