This is a watercolor painting I still have that I did in college. My Dad would ask if he could come along on one of my hikes and the rock climbing that it required compelled me to say no he could not. Anyway it it planted the seed for the idea in this painting.
Vespa / Sold / framed print —federation square / framed print – redbubble / framed print – ivanhoe art market / canvas print redbubble THE BIRTH OF A LEGEND Vespa is more than a humble scooter. Piaggio was founded in Genoa in 1884 by twenty-year-old Rinaldo Piaggio. It took shape thanks to the successful co-operation of the aeronautical engineer and inventor Corradino D’Ascanio (1891-1981). The Vespa (wasp in Italian) was the result of Enrico Piaggio’s determination to create a low cost product so anyone could afford one.

Daddy’s little princess patiently waiting for her hero to come home.
well I’m having a week or so of pretty pictures before getting back into the black and whites and the IR’s that I myself prefer and while scanning some other work I found this image of the Opera House…. similar but still quite different to the House of Golden Light posted a day or so ago…. this is a straight 35mm SLR capture with Konica 100 film. The similarity to the other image of this wonderful sculputral building is in the way I’ve just sat and waited for the light to be magical. Also both pictures have little hints of rainbows in them although its much more pronouced in this one. This was shot very late in the day just on twilight. The lights around the base of the Opera House are just starting to come on and the sky and the water are all golden and replete with the completion of their daytime duties…. a short moment of golden light and then the soft velvet night will kick in and give it another totally different look….. Another reason that I put this shot up is that the planned reburbishments to this lovely building are in the news again at the moment…. its a beautiful looking building but not very good for actual Opera performances …for whatever reasons…. So some architects are suggesting adding another box shaped building to it and others don’t like that idea and in the middle of this public conversation came a letter to the paper from one of our esteemed ex-prime ministers…. Mr Paul Keating esq…... and in his letter to the public he described the advent of the Opera House as “like Sydney being touched on the shoulder by a rainbow…” so in a way then this picture is me illustrating what he said about this beloved building….. it’s a structure that graces the city like a rainbow graces the skys…... /

A selection of images that I have taken of flowers both here in Australia and in Scotland….
acrylic on canvas / In this image, I really wanted to use some of my wife’s photo’s of the moon behind clouds. The homestead is Mt Woowoolhara, near Broken Hill NSW, I took a daytime pic and changed it into a night scene, with the mount in the background, I tried to give it that eery moon glow, and the 4×4 is my old Defender, again turning a day pic into a night rendition with the headlights lighting up the track ahead.
Nothing beats a long summers day at the beach… so many wonderful memories from back in the day… makes you feel forever young! Sunshine Coast, Queensland (the man in the picture is my Dad)
The image is of my father, Ali Al-Jundi, and me taken in Latakia, Syria, on The Mediterranean sea. / I wrote “Blue Shadow” after one of my visits to the Middle East. It deals with the subject of saying goodbye after such visits. How hard it is to do so, knowing that it could be the last. / Now that there are no more goodbyes, this poem takes on a whole new meaning for me… / My Dad passed away on 8/6/09 Blue Shadow / For my father I Thirty thousand feet above the ocean. / Wind and sand blow in cavernous spaces I carried / since our goodbye at the Castle Hotel. I try tricking my mind / to make it let go— Our morning coffees. / These past few days in Larnaca. / How we stretched them, bridging continents / fifteen years apart. II I close my eyes. Time is like air. / Damascus drifts in. I’m sitting next to you at your favorite café. / You think I am after the sweets you let me order / like a grown-up. / I’m there to listen to you talk. / To watch you and your friends / drink your coffee and beer. You ask a palm reader to tell my future. / I extend an eager hand. / Imagine myself a grown man, / married, three children. III You, / bohemian to a fault, / insubordinate maverick / of women, wine, and poetry, / titled your new book: Sa’ra Rama’ dun. / Turned to Ashes. I asked you / does death frighten you? / You said / It used to. You then stepped / into my faint blue shadow, / plucked shiny white feathers / from my wings, / and gave me / a handful of earth. © Assef Al-Jundi This poem appeared in the poetry collection In These Latitudes, Ten Contemporary Poets , published by Wings press.

My Dad was a lover of the “Holden” cars. I remember many trips in our first “grey lady”, plus many more Holdens as years passed by that ferried my sister (chijude) and myself to ballet classes, tennis matches, football games—you name it we went. Dad-a crash repairer by trade-cared for his cars, but he also used them, towing our trailer and boat on Church camps where Mum and Dad were camp parents. It was the holdens that snapped me back to days gone past and my Dad as they paraded past me during a vintage car ralley. So proudly Australian and still looking good. Nikon D80, Nikor 70-200; F7.1, 1/320, ISO400, FL200. Set up on side of road in front of our house. Used a monopod to steady; in this one did a runner into the middle of the road to catch these without too much road. Cropped. /
