Laneway cafes
Back in 2018 I was on the way to work and snapped this image in one of Melbourne's many lanes lined with cafes. This is the city of Melbourne's beating heart. Part of my cinematic series. Apologies that I haven't been posting for the last week. I have a new job and it has taken a lot of my time.

Footprints
Yesterday Penny and I visited Rochester in country Victoria for a memorial service. It was to remember Penny's brother Geoff, who passed away during the first lock down that we had here last year. Because of this all who knew him were forced to grieve without others to help them through the process.
The Geoff that I knew was an alcoholic, constantly in and out of rehabilitation and the footprints that I knew of him was the pile of discarded openers from beer cans on the chair near where he used to love to sit.
What I learnt at the memorial was that Geoff, was a teacher, poet, writer, musician and inspiration to many students that were in his care. Nothing at all like I imagined. The family buried his ashes in the roots of the apricot tree that he loved to sit under on warm summer evenings. The real footprints he leaves behind are his children and the people that they have become.
In recent years I have been to a couple of funerals of significant friends and I must say that I much prefer this memorial service way of celebrating the life of those that are departed. One year is enough time for people to remember the positive things about the person and the footprints that they leave behind
Vale Geoff, sorry I did not take the time to get to know you better

Book ends
This image was created for a scavenger hunt back in 2018. I had the idea to create an image in context with the word "Ends" that contains all the other words. I completed the task in PhotoShop and include the original unedited photo for comparison. It turns out it is quite difficult to replace text on the spine of a book and make it appear like it was always there.

Invisible man
During lock down last year Penny and I snuck out to a local park to shoot the word shoes for the scavenger hunt. The image is a composite of two images. The idea was to have only the shoes and newspaper in the image. I have included the original images

The front approaches
Back in 2017 we had a massive cold front followed by heavy storm. This was taken from the roof of my house

Oblivious
In 2018 I was practising my cinematic street photography. I have three separate images of this girl and she is holding the same pose in all of them. I took this while waiting for the lights to change.

Connewarre
Or black swan in the local indigenous language. Connewarre is a small town near Barwon Heads in Victoria. Lake Connewarre which is at the mouth of the Barwon river has many there. Yjos was taken at Jells park here in Melbourne. I have never seen one there. This time there where babies as well.

Change
Back in 2015 it was about the change in the seasons. This was from a tree in our front yard. In recent years it hasn't changed colour until much later in the season. I will post a picture of what it looks like today after the sun comes up.

Window bears
This time last year there was a thing around Melbourne where you put a bear in a window so that passing children can have something to look for on their one hour of lockdown exercise. This was from my WFH office.

Cash is king
Early this year I decided that I would not spend any $5 note that I received. Here we are coming up to the end of March and the tally is just over $600. We are going to have a good holiday at the end of the year :)

Tug of war
This photo was one of a series that I took for the theme "Hang in there" on this day in 2015. I didn't use this image and the selective colour treatment was done today.

Eggs
Back in 2016 it was all about eggs. There is an unhappy one in the bunch... Probably aware he is about to become breakfast.

Bedroom rockstar
He certainly has the look. This was taken as a publicity still for a movie that I worked on back in 2017. Pictured is Guillym Davenport (actor) noodling on a Rickenbacker that was used as a prop
Ladybug
Back in 2015 I was looking for a ladybird for the scavenger hunt and found a lady bug instead. This was really good Photoshop practice. I have included the original VW image along with where I sourced the ladybug logo. As a bonus I found a blue bird as well.

Shadows from the past
Patterns
Back in 2016 we visited Ikea to find interesting patterns to use for backgrounds. This was not used at the time looking at it this morning it translates quite well to monochrome
