The old government kept the city clean and pretty and we kept forgetting all the dirty work they were up to while we were admiring our shiny new Colombo. Let's hope that with the new government, the city stays clean, and the governance in our country cleaner.
I like the simplicity of these cranes, located in Tredigr docks in Cardiff Bay. Not sure what they were being used to build as access was blocked, but there does seem to be alot of development work going on there.

Bribie Island development
July 1964
ID: 436411 photographic album
Negative number: C2-5035
"Bribie Island is the smallest and most northerly of three major sand islands forming the coastline sheltering the northern part of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. The others are Moreton Island and North Stradbroke Island. Bribie Island is 34 kilometres (21 miles) long, and 8 kilometres (5.0 miles) at its widest. Archibald Meston believed that the name of the island came from a corruption of a mainland word for it, Boorabee. meaning 'koala bear'.
Bribie Island hugs the coastline and tapers to a long spit at its most northern point near Caloundra, and is separated from the mainland by Pumicestone Passage. The ocean side of the island is somewhat sheltered from prevailing winds by Moreton Island and associated sand banks and has only a small surf break. The lee side is calm, with white sandy beaches in the south.
Most of the island is uninhabited national park (55.8 square kilometres or 21.5 square miles) and forestry plantations. The southern end of the island has been intensively urbanised as part of the Moreton Bay Region, the main suburbs being Bongaree, Woorim, Bellara and Banksia Beach. A bridge from Sandstone Point on the mainland was completed in 1963.
Buckley's Hole, at the southern tip of the island, is an important bird habitat and refuge.
There are many types of wildlife present on the island. Kangaroos, wallabies, emus, various snake species, green tree frogs and dingos can often be seen venturing from the national park into the surrounding suburbs.
Pumicestone Passage, located between the island and the mainland, is a protected marine park that provides habitat for dugongs, turtles and dolphins. There are also extensive mangrove forests in this area. Eucalypt forests, banksias and heathlands are the predominant vegetation elsewhere.
Bribie Island is home to around 350 species of bird. This includes a range of honeyeater species, lorikeets, waterbirds and birds of prey. Flying foxes (also called fruit bats) visit the area, along with several species of small insect-eating bats. Flying foxes are important pollinators and seed dispersers while the insect-eating bats help control mosquito and other insect populations.
Buckley's Hole, at the southern tip of the island, was declared an environmental park in 1992.
The island seems particularly prone to instances of bee swarming.”

In the background, you can see the original Northwestern Bell tower. It is now crammed with telephone and internet transmission equipment. The tan tower to the right is the Northwestern Bell office building. It has been empty forever as Nortwestern Bell moved to a newer office building downtown. It became Qwest Communications after the Bell Telephone court ordered breakup. Qwest died of bad management and I think some of them went to jail too. Now it is CenturyLink Communications.
Anyway...just as The Highline a few blocks up the street was set to open, NuStyle announced they had purchased this building, which is also on the National Register of Historic Places. Gotta save those examples of mid century bad architecture, with no thought for human usage or enjoyment!
Set to become 290 apartments.
Development art for the Thai film "Khan Kluay". The art team and I worked together for a year just getting the look of the film down. Basing images on the script that co-director Aaron Sorensen, and writer Ariel Prendergast , and I were putting together.
There were some amazing artists at Kantana, including my pal, production designer, Prachanue "The Nue" Noree, who helped lead the art team.
Khan Kluay is different from a lot of my other work in that it was designed for the "Wide Screen" cinema, trying to get the feeling of a "Thai Epic". But still following the same simple "Shape Principles" of design. Designing for wide screen is fun, but challenging. At the time we were trying to make the compositions work for both the movie theaters, and the cut-off on people tv's at home.

The Taveta weaver (Ploceus castaneiceps) is a striking bird species native to East Africa, particularly found in areas of southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. It is known for its vibrant chestnut-colored head and yellow body, with males displaying more vivid plumage during the breeding season to attract mates. This social species is often seen in large flocks, building intricate, hanging nests in trees, and primarily feeds on seeds and insects, typically in grasslands and savanna habitats.
His was a time of toils, which laid the foundation for us to rise from. As he reminisced while overlooking at the rapid developments, we should be ever grateful to our elders who helped built this city. For we reaped the fruits of their labour and likewise pass it on to our future generations.
