Alexander Gardens

Sitting at Riverland I took this. I love Alexander Gardens - when people aren't being mugged in them.

I welcome summer with open arms.

Weld Then Grind

Two men work through the night on new tram tracks on Nicholson St in Fitzroy/Carlton.

I stood there mesmerised for about 10 mins. The sparks were beautiful.

I took many shots wanting to get the right amount of spark. and the men in a good enough pose.

The sparks add nice depth to the image.

Shimmery Sluice

This is a lane way near me - Sheils Lane in Carlton.

The yellow flood lighting lit up the water in the drain... 120 years ago this would have been shit and piss and other household waste.

Shot with a Canon 40D on my new Canon 50mm f1.4 lens... I'm constantly amazed by its flexibility and sharpness, and the shallow depth it allows. This shot is not possible with most other lenses out there.
