I’ve been taking my camera with me when I got into the office, go shopping, go visit friends, or just go for a walk across the northern suburbs of Melbourne.
Here are some of the photos I’ve taken over the last couple of weeks. (I’m only shooting in black-and-white this July, fyi.)
Underneath a bus shelter, only somewhat protected from the downpour
Black and white photo taken from underneath a bus shelter on a street in an industrial area. It is raining heavily, even though the sun is still shining through a small gap in the clouds.
On Ventura bus #1619
Black and white photo taken from inside a city bus, looking out the front window. The only other person in the bus is the driver.
Tactile directional tile across a walking and cycling path
Black and white photo looking along the length of a walking and cycling path. Cutting across this path are tactile directional tiles that tell people with visual impairment that there is a bus stop or street crossing in the direction of the raised grooves of the tile. Running along the centre of the path are diverging white lines that guide cyclists around the electricity pole that has been erected in the middle of the path.
Tactile warning tiles just before the walking path crosses the road
Black and white photo looking straight down at a walking path onto which plastic tactile warning tiles have been installed. In the bottom of the photo you can see the photographer’s black jeans and white sneakers.
Reflections on a Mazda console
Black and white photo looking through the front passenger side window of a Mazda sedan. Reflected in the window glass is a brick wall and a garage door.
Nicely-spaced murder
Black and white photo of a murder of four crows silhouetted against the cloudy sky while they stand along the edge of a brick building.
High beams at dusk
Black and white photo taken at dusk of a walking path that runs alongside a road. There is traffic on the road, and one of the cars coming towards the photographer has its high beams switched on, which are outshining everything else around them.
