wall flowers

I'm not sure if I've mentioned but I have been using the camera I bought earlier in the year to take photos of lots of random things I like. I take the camera with me most days and then, whenever I see a great example of one of the types of things I'm interested in at the moment, I take a shot. Gradually I am making a few photo essays of things I like in the City. So far these are:
- doorways & windows
- street art
- walls, lit differently, different types and colours of peeling paint
- signs

It is funny how once you pick one thing, any thing, to notice, you find the whole world littered with that thing, and you start to appreciate the wonderful variation and beauty in that thing. Granted, maybe having a wall fetish is a little more easily indulged than many others - they really are one thing you can bet on every single street you walk down in the city having!

Coming soon to a coffee table book/ wall/ blog near you. Or maybe not. But hey, it keeps me happy. Some doors below as a taster. I think walls are currently my fave though - so many dingey alley ways lit with settling arvo sun cutting across at angles, graffitti, shadows, sign posts and then up close there is layered paint worn smooth, like thick icing over an irregular cake, or crunchy and flaking, colours peeking through. Such great texture in decay.
