I found this in a little store off Flinders Lane in Melbourne.
Look for the lomo cameras in the shop window.

Yes, I got wet.

A Lonsdale Street restaurant wall begs to be revamped with mural goodness.

I used a long exposure to capture the stroke of the paintbrush. Not sure if it was entirely successful I but had fun shooting it.

The storms that brought the rain also dealt much destruction to many old trees. This one refused to be defeated.

Southern Australia got some decent rain over the summer and boy was it much needed. Here is one of the more beautiful reasons why we need water so badly here. I had heard that many waterfalls had simply seised to be over the past couple years yet the falls were flowing all over Cape Ottawa during a recent getaway with my new housemates.

As an aside, my car had been badly damaged in the same storms that brought life back to the falls. Nature has its ways of sending a message.

A cat's curiosity burns ever bright, except at cuddle time.

New Year's Eve, Sydney.

Two people cross paths in Maroobra, Sydney. The contents of their conversation remain consealed in a foreign language but their emotion is clear as, day.

A wheelie bin in fancy clothes struts its stuff on Hardware Lane, Melbourne.

Flash + Longish exposure + Beer = Weird Photos.
Agreed?

Location: Corner of Queen and Lonsdale Streets, Melbourne.

Like Woah, Woah!

I wonder what they saw.

A cloud tears the sky in two over Sydney Harbor.
T.J. took a photo of a similar cloud formation over a Russian city scape a while back.

Does anyone know what its called?

A tram drives by Melbourne's mini Ferris Wheel one summer night.

I decided to ride my bicycle into the city centre to try out a new GPS tracking App on my iphone. The App turned out to be pretty lame but my camera didn't let me down. For all its foibles it still does almost everything I want it to do nearly 4 years on.

Pegasus prances purposefully past pleased patrons, proclaiming peace and power.

Pegasus is my second most favourite character in Greek mythology, second only to Perseus. Both characters are due to feature in the remake of the film Clash of the Titans which is scheduled for release in the coming months. Call me a cynic but after seeing it's trailer, looks to be another Hollywood botch-up of what is otherwise a great tale.

National Museum of New South Wales, Sydney.

I wish I could remember where this was taken. Somewhere in Melbourne yes, but the name of the street completely escapes me. Perhaps it's one of those poor nameless alleyways, in which case the seasonal street art probably serves both aesthetic and navigational purposes.

What I do remember is that this was a jolly fun day where a friend and I wandered through the CBD for hours with cameras frequently glued to our faces.
Good times.

I tell you this Toy Camera iphone App is stupendous entry into Lomography.
So much so I am seriously considering buying a DSLR and a F+ adaptor just so I can peer through some of the original plastic that really birthed Lomo.

It it wrong to buy a $4000 camera, namely the Nikon D700, with the primary intention of using $50 lenses on it?
