Everything and nothing.

Discarded undies.


Dead bat 1.


Bad photo of a guy I actually stalked to get a shot of. He has the most amazing self mutilation marks that you've ever seen. It's like his arms are made of scars.


I went to Sydney and I got sick.


This guy had shot until all you could see were the whites of his eyes. C wut I did thar? I made a sort of pun and then my use of the word whites played the race card.


Dead bat 2. In almost exactly the same place that I found the first one. I got busted taking this photo by a lady taking her kid for a walk. I didn't hear her coming because I had my headphones on and I'll be honest, I may have been talking to the bat as I was photographing it. I turned and looked straight into this ladies face which was twisted into a look of horror and disgust. I grinned.


I found taking a photo on a canoe to be a difficult task.


Especially as I had just smoked this. Have you even smoked a joint whilst paddling a canoe? You have to try it. I recommend calm water and minimal wind.





Slightly better photo of guy with scarms. But not good enough. I was thinking of offering him money to let me take photos. Is that wrong?


I'm pretty sure this guy watches every thing that I do. I've never seen him before but that look on his face is like he knows.




Taken from xmas 2010 till April 2011.

Gross post

This is a post with mainly gross stuff in it. You won't enjoy it at all, but there is a nice surprise at the end. Here we go.

Saturday night in the city.


I stepped of the tram and almost right on to this bad boy. All I could think of was 'Fuck you Smith st, fuck you'.


A bit of back alley action in Northcote. This is a terrible picture of a used condom. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother.


We were walking through Edinburgh Gardens in North Fitzroy on a Saturday afternoon. We were quite stoned and the sun was shining through the trees and I thought to myself 'This is it, this is a moment, this is one of those times that will stick in my mind and when I die it will be part of the slide show that flashes before my eyes. If I do nothing with my life (which is highly likely) at least I can say I was there and I have seen it'. Then I saw this guy taking a piss.


I managed to get my shot though, this sort of picture used to make me lament the whole aging process. Not any more, now I understand that it's just being in the right place at the right time, preferably somewhere with trees and a sunset. It's not hard really, trees are everywhere and sunsets happen pretty much every day.



So I was worried for a while there that I only saw ugly things, but that's incorrect. It's just that I tend to only take photos of ugly things. I see beautiful things all the time, it's just that often they are fleeting and not the sort of things that you can capture with a lens.

Saturday

Stuff white people like.

I see this guy emptying the rubbish on Smith st. Even the garbage men are so eccentric that they are borderline performance artists that would put Andy Kauffmen to shame.


Two different days, two different hats.


Found note. You gotta have the numbers yo.


This guy was a "busker" in the city who was doing this weird story telling thing that involved him miming that he had a baby. It made me realise that there is sometimes not much of a line between busker and mentally challenged middle aged men with receptacles for change.


This is your classic harmless crazy person who takes their radio thats not quite tuned on the tram with them and plays Springsteen really loud and then suddenly everyone's talking about how not enough is spent on mental health.


The night Collingwood won the grand final, outside the grace darling. They were all singing 'We are the champions' by Queen.


I walked behind this guy and felt ashamed for taking this photo, which was probably way more ashamed than he felt for living it.


I found these on the street about 30 feet from where I found the others ones seen in a previous post.

Thursday

Pierre Roelof - amazing food, worst culinary review ever.

So I've been going to this on a semi regular basis and I have been fucking loving it. Basically, the most amazing desserts that you have ever had. Truly unique and almost impossible to describe. The most amazing flavour combination's that you've ever seen. Ever tried rosemary ice-cream? How about basil granita? No? You have missed out. The worst thing about about Pierre's is that I can't do it justice. Just look at these photos and imagine the food of the gods.

It starts with these, flavour straws. Tubes of glass that you suck. The best one I had were coke spiders. It tasted exactly like the best coke spider that you've ever had. I think these ones were apple pie.


Some sort of melon dish.


This one had puree avocado in it and was phenomenal.


Really amazing mousse.


Dates oats and sour cream.


This is basil granita and raspberry foam. The foam had the texture of shaving cream but did not taste anything like it. Thank god. You know that hot girl that you've always wanted to kiss? This what her mouth tastes like.


This one had nettles in it. Yeah, nettles.


This one was called brown.

Saturday

Signs found in my area.



Badly taken photos that I have to explain.

Guy taking a shit with the door open at the ever popular toilets across the road from my work.


Seconds before I took this photo this gollum type creature was yelling at everyone to get fucked. I could not work out whether it was a male or female.


People eating in their car makes me feel weird and a bit depressed for some reason. It's the ultimate act of public loneliness. That and crying whilst wearing a Santa hat and tie. I have seen someone crying whilst wearing a Santa hat and tie and it damn near broke my heart.


These guys were all cruising down Smith st in a beautiful old Mustang. One of them was wearing a reflector vest. I thought, seriously, how much attention do you need to draw to yourself, you're already in a bright red classic car, whats next, fire works and bull horns?


This is a blurry picture of the girl that played with Xiu Xiu. She can be seen in this amazing video. Needless to say, I fell in love a little bit.
