The best part of the street fair was playing with the mimes.
Yeah, yeah, you can go on about how creepy mimes are, but I like interacting with them. The nice ones anyway. There's something about being non-verbal and mugging your way through a conversation that appeals to me.
And, besides, they were cute!
Front cover of Frozen Charlotte's Time Machine. The surface was scratched with sandpaper and colored with Gilders paste. The Gilder's paste was purchased from B'Sue and the little face was a freebie in one of my orders from her!

This year, I went for my summer stretch, by doing the yoga in TimeSquare. They hold it every year to celebrate world yoga day and the summer solstice.
This helper hands up a drinks bottle to the time trialist, a familiar scene in earlier days of racing against the clock. On second thoughts, it looks like a billy-can, that was more usual when clubmates would be having a drum-up while waiting for their riders.
A few notes on the experiment. This is taken with my Canon 450D, 50mm f1.4, manual focus, aperture priority f1.4. I didn't go all manual, simply because I wanted a reference point, but for future shots I will probably do that (you can observe a bit of different light levels in the later shots, which would have been avoided).
I used my newly assembled Camera Axe 5 [1] to trigger the camera, and had it set for 30 second intervals. Not using a power supply, the camera died about 12 hours in, so for time lapses in that range (and no auto off on camera), I probably should have used one. These photos was later stiched together using ffmpeg at 30fps.
Also, the set up was kinda in a hurry, so I didn't really put any thought into the actual motif, so more a test of technique.
Btw, I didn't bother adding music, so if you find it lacking, just throw this up in the background: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnHmskwqCCQ

Jigsaws falling into place
There is nothing to explain
Regard each other as you pass
She looks back, you look back
Not just once
Not just twice
Wish away your nightmare
Wish away the nightmare
You've got a light you can feel it on your back
You've got a light you can feel it on your back

We got something we weren't really anticipating with this room, either: really loud sex taking place in the room beside us, complete with the headboard hitting the shared wall and cries of "Oh baby! Oh daddy!" for about 45 minutes to an hour. This was between 3:30 and 4:30 AM. I decided to call the unseen neighbors "The Olympians" since they seemed to be world class athletes when it came to sex + duration.
At a time when cars were less popular and milk still arrived in bottles at your front door, the Brisbane CBD and main roads to outlying suburbs lay under a web of tram cables.
The network connected Chermside in the north to Moorooka in the south, and traveled west to Ashgrove and east to Camp Hill.
The first of Brisbane trams rolled along tracks from Logan Road at Woolloongabba to the southern end of the Victoria Bridge on June 21, 1897.
The Brisbane Tramways Company, which started the service, began with 20 trams and expanded to almost 200 more modern trams and trolley buses.
On September 28, 1962, a massive fire at the Paddington tram depot destroyed a fifth of the tram fleet. Layers of elevated wooden platforms soaked with grease and oil from years of tram work ignited, creating green flames visible from nearby suburbs. About 30 firefighters struggled to control the blaze and eventually the depot was destroyed.
The fire is believed to be deliberately lit but no one has ever been charged.
The last tram ran from Balmoral to Ascot on April 13, 1969. Initial moves to stop trams began years earlier under Lord Mayor Clem Jones, and was met with petitions, protests and outrage from Brisbane residents.
Trams are one of the things i enjoy to photograph but out of the 200 we struggle to find more of them. Around 40 where lost in the Paddington fire, 24 sit at the tramways museum, i know of a small handful on private properties. Its believed that when trams where decommissioned they where given out for playgrounds etc but the lead based paint put a stop to this and the trams where destroyed
