There is a mulberry tree on the path between my place and the Sydney Uni squash courts. And they are in season. So we spent 15 minutes grabbing the ripe ones and staining our fingers.
WHY WAS THIS PHOTO IN MY PERSONAL TOP 20 ALBUM?
I am a member of the Photingo group on Flickr, which operates like a bingo for street photographers - you're given 30 subjects and three months to take them. I'd been struggling with 'Magazine' - I found it really difficult, partly because I've realised just how rare it is to see people reading paper magazines anymore. They're one of the victims of the smartphone revolution I suppose.
I walk through the Perth Cultural Centre a lot - every day on the way to and from work, and often on lunch breaks as well. I see this woman there at least a couple of times a week. I don't think she's homeless - I think she just likes hanging around the area. She's got such an interesting face, but I'd never had the opportunity to photograph her before.
I took a chance with the way I framed this photo. I liked the idea of a lot of negative space - she was sitting in a pool of light, but her posture was almost sinking in on itself. She looked as though she was making herself as small as possible, and I figured that putting her in the bottom corner of the frame would accentuate that. It got awarded 'photo of the week' at Photingo against some really good shots, so it was nice to know that the risk paid off.
A few people have commented on the pigeon, and I agree that it adds to the picture. But I had no idea it was there until I downloaded the photo - it was a piece of luck getting that extra element in the shot that I hadn't planned.
An escape from 'children' is always needed - Dodgie had a temporary escape into the trees - probably on a squirrel hunt!
Yes it is what it looks. I did a double take when I saw it.
Guess the deceased had a sense of humour.
This is Gunflint Lake, Minnesota, and that's Canada over there! I was out early in the morning photographing the sunrise (and the sun gets up really early in this part of the world) and I was just ready to take off when this gentleman set out in his canoe. Very helpful of him, don't you think?
Incidently, I was told that this was one of the locations used by the Coen brothers in "A Serious Man" - the part where Arthur escapes to Canada - but I can find no confirmation of this. One of my favorite movies from last year, anyway, so I would like it to be true.
The last flight to safety awaits at the top of the tower, but can the desperate survivors make it before the Z's catch up?
With everything that's going on sometimes the best thing to do is find a sunny spot and relax.

When you don't have a backyard or a patio, a fire escape will do.
I ultimately wound up selling my Leica M240. Hard choice, and I'm still in love with rangefinders (as should be obvious by the number of shots I've been putting up with the TX-1). But there were a number of things that really bothered me about the Typ 240. I'm looking forward to the possible M10, and may come back to the digital rangefinder (perhaps even picking up a M9 again), but for now, I'm doing alright with my M6. That is, when I'm shooting 35mm-- right now, the TX-1 format really has me hooked, and a normal 3:2 frame is weird to work with after so much time.
Shot on a day when I was carrying only my Miyazaki lenses, which made for quite a fun time. The Sonnetar can sharpen up nicely under the right conditions, but it was rather dark and I didn't have many options here besides opening up.
