Reflective, calm and peaceful. A walk through Adelaide on a balmy summer’s evening along the Torrens, looking at public art and feeling completely at home. To have a camera there to capture a small portion of that feeling and take it home is what it is all about. / Talking Our Way Home sculpture by Shaun Kirby
I’ve been on a mission to conquer the abstract-a true measure of an artist, I think, as there is no ‘reality’ to compare it too, no likeness to draw close to. Just you. You decide to continue, or when to stop. When to use the ‘f’ word-as we used to tease our sculpture teacher>there is no such thing as ‘finished’. I think there is. the energy passes-it’s time-if you go over, it become overworked and pushed, forced. And therein lies the art.
Someone is always watching you these days. Do you feel safer for it? I must say that i dont actually have a problem with surveillance cameras … especially not in this day and age. Although those stupid spots on the ground that say security cameras work in this area are pretty dumb. Anyway, This image was just in a dream the other day.

I couldn’t resist snapping this beautiful Bronze statue of Steve Irwin and his family at Australia Zoo near the Sunshine Coast in Queensland,Australia.
For the amenity of self I’m only standing here / as long as it takes / to purge you from the centre of me / you sit back there thinking I’ve not got a heart / but I do / and I am going to take it back from you. I’m going to hold it / warm it again / and place it back where it belongs / in my chest / proud and functioning / without you. I care not that you are everything / one thing / more than something I ever wanted / It’s too late now / I am washing it all away; Down / around / circling through the bends / gurgling and spluttering / away into the ocean of tears / where the waves curl and lick the saltiness / under again where it belongs / today / I am going to stand up straighter than I ever have / there is no other way / I am going to stare at myself in that mirror / until my eyes become my own again / and I’m going to say it all / until I believe it. Goodbye. © ryan This wonderful poem was written by the very talented writer and good friend / nicole ryan This series was shot the old fashioned way, the camera an old Pentax K1000 with ILford Black and White film and hand printed using high contrast filters. / This public toilet was utterly disgustingly dirty and had not been cleaned for who knows how long. The available light just made it look beautiful! / No post production on this, it’s a straight scan from the original hand printed print.
She is the you I see. / a woman of beauty / a woman of power and love. / She is a mother / she is a sister and a friend / she is blessing / for my eyes to see. / she is. / Words by Elenne Boothe / photo taken at Venices Beach,ca / wall art.
A Japanese artist created for Liverpool a Lambanana which was a yellow hybrid of a lamb and a banana this has now been developed by Liverpool for the year as City of Culture with different designs going up over the city in public places. The original idea was to warn of genetically modified foods.
Museum Industrion, Kerkrade, Netherlands. The objects already looked strange, I’ve only helped a little bit. October 2002. Canon EOS 500N, Sigma 28-135. Post-processing: distortion correction, retouch, color correction, sharpening, crop.
Melbourne people will know this one at Fed Square- looks like a huge bunch of red metal sticks waving slowly in the breeze. / (Double exposure Holga).
This is a picture of a sculpture overlooking Burnley called the singing ringing tree. It’s one of a series of “Panopticons” installed in Central / East Lancashire. Background Information. The design selected for Burnley’s Panopticon was ‘Singing, Ringing Tree’ by architects Tonkin Liu Ltd. It was selected in early 2005 through a public consultation exercise. Designs by three different architects were exhibited in six venues around Burnley and ‘Singing Ringing Tree’ was unanimously selected by the public and steering group to go forward for development. Perhaps the most playful and innovative of all the Panopticons designs, this unique musical sculpture overlooks Burnley from its position high above the town on Crown Point. Making the most of the prevailing westerly winds, ‘Singing, Ringing Tree’ makes an intriguing, tuneful sound, audible only at relatively close range. Before building had even started, this design was already an award-winner in a prestigious design competition sponsored by RIBA, and it has since gone on to win more awards. In May 2007 it won a further award from RIBA.

The motifs of SYNTHESIZED FASHION take up standardised, life- and speechless storefront mannequins as protagonists and imbue them with idiosyncratic personalities and a language all their own. Transposed into a novel visual context and given their own stage setting, as it were, they are plunged at the deep end into a realm of captivatingly mysterious beauty and for one timeless moment, vouchsafed a depth beyond all standardisation and conformity.
