Rhoda's dressing table, Stu William's Yashica 835
Stu lent me his 635 for a while so i could try Medium Format out... the bastard, it's his fault i will now be spending Micah's college money on film.... oh and amongst others, it is Mike's fine photos that are to blame for me buying the dirty big smelly Kiev 88 that this was taken with.
Anyway, this is another shot from the first film out of the new Kiev, but my next few posts will probably be shots i took with the Yash featured here, hence the title.

I've used this antique mirror with the dressing table in this room for quite some time. The settee covered with the green chenille bedspread barely fit through the little entrance door, but I was able to get it in the room at last. The tall windows give quiet a bit of light when I open the shutters. The reflected wall of closets hold a tremendous amount, but never enough, of course. I love to take pictures in here, but it is difficult with so many reflections.
...at Hummingbird House, CARF's beautiful new home and prevention centre.
Our kids are constantly fascinated by all the old furnishings and objects d'arte which decorate the many different rooms in this fairytale-like house, quite in contrast from the daily environment in their own homes in the underprivileged favela communities, where little or no attention is paid to aesthetics.
Discovering this wavy, old, hand-blown mirror in an antique dressing table in one of the bedrooms, brought on some rather hysterical outbursts of laughter, which almost raised the ceiling as more kids joined in the fun and discovered the Mystical Mirror of Hummingbird House.
Incredibly enough, I've had that old dresser for almost two decades in my own home and never noticed the twisted reflection it sends back to the onlooker, but then again I'm not one for spending time in front of mirrors. Although I must admit when joining in the fun, that I couldn't stop laughing until we were all doubling up in tears on the floor.
What a fun discovery and one they spread the word about quickly.
For each new group of children that come to spend time at Hummingbird House, the kids immediately ask to see the Mystical Mirror and once again we all have a great laugh...............

AKA Martini Mike
Melbourne based street artist Rone (Tyrone Wright) used the decaying glory of the 1933 Harry Norris designed Streamline Moderne mansion, Burnham Beeches in the Dandenong Ranges' Sherbrooke, between March the 6th and April 22nd to create an immersive hybrid art space for his latest installation exhibition; "Empire".
"Empire" combined a mixture of many different elements including art, sound, light, scent, found objects, botanic designs, objects from nature and music especially composed for the project by Nick Batterham. The Burnham Beeches project re-imagines and re-interprets the spirit of one of Victoria’s landmark mansions, seldom seen by the public and not accessed since the mid 1980s. According to Rone - Empire website; "viewers are invited to consider what remains - the unseen cultural, social, artistic and spiritual heritage which produces intangible meaning."
Rone was invited by the current owner of Burnham Beeches, restaurateur Shannon Bennett, to exhibit "Empire" during a six week interim period before renovations commence to convert the heritage listed mansion into a select six star hotel.
Rone initially imagined the mansion to be in a state of dereliction, but found instead that it was a stripped back blank canvas for him to create his own version of how he thought it should look. Therefore, almost all the decay is in fact of Rone's creation from grasses in the Games Room which 'grow' next to a rotting billiards table, to the damp patches, water staining and smoke damage on the ceilings. Nests of leaves fill some spaces, whilst tree branches and in one case an entire avenue of boughs sprout from walls and ceilings. Especially designed Art Deco wallpaper created in Rone's studio has been installed on the walls before being distressed and damaged. The rooms have been adorned with furnishings and objects that might once have graced the twelve original rooms of Burnham Beeches: bulbulous club sofas, half round Art Deco tables, tarnished silverware and their canteen, mirrored smoke stands of chrome and Bakelite, glass lamps, English dinner services, a glass drinks trolley, photos of people long forgotten in time, walnut veneer dressing tables reflecting the installation sometimes in triplicate, old wire beadsteads, luggage, shelves of books, an Underwood typewriter, a John Broadwood and Sons of London grand piano and even a Kriesler radiogramme. All these objects were then covered in a thick sheet or light sprinkling of 'dust' made of many different things including coffee grinds and talcum powder, creating a sensation for the senses. Burnham Beeches resonated with a ghostly sense of its former grandeur, with a whiff of bittersweet romance.
Throughout the twelve rooms, magnificent and beautifully haunting floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall portraits of Australian actress Lily Sullivan, star of the Foxtel re-make of Picnic at Hanging Rock, appear. Larger than life, each portrait is created in different colours, helping to create seasonal shifts as you move from room to room.
Although all the rooms are amazing for many different reasons, there are two major standouts. The Study features walls of books covered with a portrait of Lily Sullivan, and the entire room is partially submerged in a lake of black water with the occasional red oak leaf floating across its glassy surface. The Dining Room features two long tables covered in a Miss Havisham like feast of a trove of dinner table objects from silverware and glassware to empty oyster shells and vases of grasses and feathers.
The Dining Room installation I found especially confronting. In 1982, I visited Burnham Beeches when it was a smart and select hotel and had Devonshire tea in the dining room at a table alongside the full length windows overlooking the terraces below. I was shocked to see a room I remember appointed with thick carpets and tables covered in gleaming silver and white napery, strewn with dust and leaves, and adorned with Miss Havisham's feast of found dining objects.
I feel very honoured and privileged to be amongst the far too few people fortunate enough to have seen Rone's "Empire", as like the seasons, it is ephemeral, and it will already have been dismantled. Rone's idea is that, like his street art, things he creates don't last forever, and that made the project exciting. I hope that my photographs do justice to, and adequately share as much as is possible of this amazing installation with you.

Inside the Paterson House on a walk around the Halswell Quarry with a Flicker friend. March Christchurch New Zealand.
This building was part of the working quarry.
The workshops built in 1912 housed a newer, bigger crushing plant. The single men’s house (now visitor centre) was built in 1921 to replace the wooden one that was destroyed by fire in 1920.
Paterson House above the main entrance was built in 1927 for the then manager, Mr Ned Paterson and also as a show home to demonstrate how the quarry stone could be utilised.

I had this beautiful paper cut out created by Elle for our Wedding Anniversary.
It is the final line from a reading from Captain Corelli’s Mandolin that was read by my gorgeous bridesmaid at our wedding.
It reads “and when all the pretty blossom have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.”
I love that I met Elle through flickr and now have one of her wonderful creations on my dressing table.

Dressing table and bench, on display as part of the "Jazz Age" exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.
Léon Jallot (1874-1967) was the preeminent Art Nouveau furniture designer in France. Jallot designed several dressing tables ("bureau de dame") with pylon legs and flip-top inward-inclinded upper surfaces in the Cubist style.
This particular dressing table was designed in 1929 by an unknown artist in the employ of the New York City department store of Lord & Taylor (est. 1826). It was purposefully modeled on the designs of Jallot. The table and bench are of joined wood, lacquered in bright red.
