Blue Motorcycle
Dirty Streets Whisper my name Fill me with longing To find my way home I took this photo last week. I saw the motorcycle out of the corner of my eye and took a quick photo without really thinking about it at the time but looking at it now, I find the contrast interesting, the…

Where the Dead Rest
Marble tombs Forgotten by the world: Where the dead rest Forevermore Went to Gosford yesterday to look at a few houses to rent (no luck unfortunately). It was a long drive and on the way back I went for a short walk around Bronte to stretch my legs. I took this photo outside Waverley Cemetery,…

Coogee Memorial

Arum Lily
A single flower Growing in an empty bed: The first sign of spring I took this photo a few days ago. Living in a block of flats we don’t really have much of a garden, just a small communal flowerbed, but a few days ago we noticed this growing in it, an arum lily. Apparently…

This was taken opposite the Gemini Hotel on Tuesday night, a little after the incident with the police.

The Long Road Home
The long road home Winds ever on Leading me further away From you I took this photo a couple of weeks ago. I was walking down Avoca Street and noticed this man ahead of me who seemed lost in his own world. He was so absorbed in his thoughts that I actually took the shot…

Oscar Haiku
I love the Oscars. I’m a big movie buff so watching the Oscars is one of my favourite things each year. It always brings back a lot of memories, particularly of certain films and where I was at that time in my life. I can still remember when Roberto Benigni won; he was so happy…
