All of the photos I took at Queenscliff Bricks 2017.
I will also drop some video in the next few days.
And just a huge thankyou to everyone involved for what was a wonderful weekend.
Mark's Makeover (Natural Light Portrait Group Shoot, Sept 12, 2009).
The Makeover shoot: take two nearing 50 year old men and give them a new image. Firstly, there was the haircut with the incomparable Fadi. Then the visit with the stylist at Westfield Kotara as the boys updated their look, then down to Newcastle baths for some portrait shots.
The Baths are a favourite spot for wedding photographs, and there were a number of groups there. One group of browny/beige clad bridesmaids were overheard commenting that Ken and Mark (in their newly acquired pastels) must have been a gay couple getting married. We corrected them, telling them it is still illegal for gay people to marry in Australia, so it was therr commitment ceremony photos.
Another highlight of the day was at the barber. The client before Ken and Mark was Angelo, a bodybuilder competing in his first competition the following day. The photographers promptly totally deserted the Makeover boys, to go round the corner and get some wonderful shots of Angelo the Magnificent (sorry guys!).
Brick Lane Music Hall, Silvertown. As a grade 2* listed building, no material alterations have been allowed to the church, but the spirit of Music Hall has been gloriously achieved with painted trompe l'oeil screens inserted within the arches.

September 2013
THE spring project. Dug out all the languishing lilies, gaggling grasses, and wandering weeds, put down thick cardboard, chipped the mortar off all those reused bricks and dragged them from the other side of the house, laid out the checkerboard, added new soil and fertilizer, and planted more kinds of herbs than I knew existed. That should hold my earthy urges until at least September. So far only the dill has died.
The storage shed at the history brick plant at Claybank, Saskatchewan is used to store bricks salvaged from demolished buildings around the province. The random nature of the stored bricks and the colours and patterns caught my attention as I walked through the shed.

Sometimes, there is an opportunity to purchase a commemorative brick. The money goes to a good cause and the donor has an opportunity to express a short message.
Here, among the heart-felt memorials, is a more cryptic expression! A Google search revealed that this is a quote from the movie, Madagascar.
