A whole lotta randoms
Ahh 2011.
2010 was bit of a whirlwind year for a number of reasons, so I’m looking forward to a more enjoyable new year.
To start off the new year I developed an old roll I had kicking around in a camera I don’t use very often. I couldn’t remember what was on it, so it was quite nice looking back over the last year from the perspective of random photos taken roughly over a several month period.
I’m looking forward to completing a couple projects/sets and starting a few more. Things had gotten stagnant for a period, but I’m somewhat relieved that has now changed. Fresh starts all round.
Some of these pics were in Melbourne, the others I have no idea.
(As usual, please forgive my crappy scans)






Oh, one more thing.
Came across some youtube videos today. They are from a documentary on Henri-Cartier Bresson and it’s brilliant. I think HCB is often misunderstood and his work over simplified. There is a lot more going on with his work than just “street photography” – a shallow term I’m actually getting a little tired of, as it’s continuously thrown around without much consideration. Anyway, that’s a discussion for another time and place I think.
The documentary is broken up into 5 parts so make sure you continue watching them in order. This is the first : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6l09YEeEpI
Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

I know all about getting stagnant unfortunately. But, the important thing is we always seem to come back to it with renewed enthusiasm.

Hey mate. You’re right.
I mostly have a camera with me but quite often just don’t feel like shooting anything. It’s nice getting the urge back to shoot.
Gotta check out the new gear you got. Looks like you’ve been getting some use out of it despite the crappy weather lately.
