A photo from a few years ago. L leaving with L from St George's Hospital. The others in the lift were all strangers, but enjoying L's obvious glee. This photo always makes me smile.

This is not a particularly interesting photograph, but I liked the unintended (?) poetry.

I'm generally avoiding the artificial vignette, however I think it works with this image.

Z & E inspecting the ceiling (or something).

More recently I've been concentrating on selective focus / shallow depth of field. This is an example of that. More to come (especially once I've got my latest batch of films out of the Leica processed).

Melbourne Caution

Melbourne Caution
Originally uploaded by Sapient Iguana

Melbourne is the only place I know where foot-path (side-walk) aberrations - uneven concrete slabs and the like - are regularly ground down so that careless people don't trip over them. Doubtless it's so the same careless people don't sue the local council for having an uneven foot-path. Judging by the degree to which foot-paths have every little unevenness ground out of them Australians are a careless (or possibly just litigious) lot.

I came across this set of stairs in my recent trip to Melbourne. It represents everything that makes me depressed about the ever encroaching over protectiveness of contemporary Australia (and elsewhere too - Britain is by no means immune). It's often referred to as the nanny state, but don't get me started...

E&Z's Burmese cat Lizzie is lovely. Here she is yawning. Aww... She can do no wrong.

I love airports, planes and everything associated with travelling. I'm always looking for interesting ways to photograph airports. A few weeks ago in Hong Kong I took this photograph, which pleases me as some sort of landscape/airport cross genre.
