Smashed

Every time I hop on my single speed to hurl myself around Alien Melbourne, I feel that I am taking my life in the hands of those who pilot 1000kg plus metal boxes around the streets. A few days ago two of these thing met at speed around the corner. These broken sweeping of glass and plastic are what was left after the wrecks were taken away.
I saw a T-shirt in the "local bike shop" with the prophetic slogan CARS R COFFINS.
Think about cycling or walking before you choose to drive. Think about other road users when you do.

Tribute

I'm having a Tenacious D moment. Paul Night took a photo of the same building in 2004 which I saw (after I took this shot with my trusty 1.3Megapixel fixed focus camera) in Photofile No 75. Paul's shot captures the moment of post modern angst the slipped through my fingers. This is not the greatest pic in the world, its a tribute.

PS

Paul took his photo at 90 degrees to this one from the terrace that appears on the right of the frame.

Some more old pics

Some more of the black and white images from elsewhere that I had a tinker with. Quite a lot less bleak than with no colour.

Reworking of old images

Here are some older alien melbourne images that have been previously published elsewhere, manipulated differently and under another alias. I'm going through a bit of a colour thing at the moment, so I've over-saturated the images. In their previous incarnations they had very little (if any) colour saturation. It makes my images more kitsch (if that is possible?).
