Love me a council clean up

O our way to check out these home extensions, I saw 4 big wooden ladders being thrown out, including a straight one with wooden rungs I been looking for to hang from the kitchen ceilinso we can hang our pots and pans of it with some butcher's hooks. But these big A frame ladders are a score I feel. So happy with my find, imagine if they made it to the garbage truck and were destroyed. SO we set these up in the garden and had some fun

sharing is caring. Time for a drink as we wait for the sun to go down and do some photos with the fairy lights





some gif fun

nearly the whole family

aah, but we have the timer on the camera there we are, cat and all more gif fun fairy light time Jacqui visibly impressed with my long exposures hehehe

Sydney Biennale at Cockatoo Island

Jacqui has been wanting to take me and the kids to Cockatoo Island for a while, to see the exhibtion on there as part of the Sydney Biennale. So of we went, and lucky for us, they have a free ferry running from Walsh bay ( easier parking for us ) to Circular Quay and onto Cockatoo Island, and looping around like that every 45min or so love our bridge and opera house

such amazing winter weather we are having in Sydney these past days, just awesome blue sky days, but no surf to go with it unfortunatly Leaving Circular Quay



Spunk alert on the island, Cockatoo Island was a naval shipbuilding yard, so lots of cranes and wharehouses around here

some of which house exhibitions like this one

awesome day awesome girl in tunnel this was one of the most popular pieces with young and old, a fine water mist





love the look of these old cranes against the blue sky back to our beautiful bridge. I keep saying our, as I have a little gripe about the fact that we are still paying a toll to cross the bridge, and a rather high toll. Back inmy day...it used to be 20cents, then went up to a dollar, then a dollar twenty, at the time it was said that this was need to pay of the bridge, built in 1932, a lot of loans were invloved and the toll was used as a way to pay of this load and then State Premier came out with the big announcement some time in the late 80's that the "bridge was ours " as the loan was repayed. So, great, we all though, no more need for the tolls ( which slows traffic down a lot ) but no, now we are paying more than double, up to 4 in peak hour ( they now introduced different tolls for different times ) So yeah, if it is ours, why we still paying( more than double ) for it just had to get that out sorry back at Walsh bay, there was still something to see as part of the biennale at wharf 2 as well
spot the fam India trying to be taller than Jacqui time to head home, thanks Jacs for insisting we go ( even though I wanted to stay home and work in the vegie patch :-) It was a nice outing :-)

Ever wondered what Diane Pernet looks like without her trademark glasses ?

I'm guessing you, like myself, are blown away by this photo. A lot of bits and pieces we do not know about Diane Pernet ( that will change in a year or so :-) I'm at the opening of an exhibtion put together by Cristiano Seganfreddo( for more info, go to Diane's blog ) Husband #2 . . .what ! I thought you were married only once, wait, what...there was a third ? Does this mean there might even be some kids running around somewhere Miss Pernet ? :-) before Diane had her own label she used to do a lot of photography as well With Cristiano Seganfreddo at the official opening, will be open till September so if in Milan , check it out, Via San Spirito at Mauro Grifoni's shop/showroom

Visit to Wim & Hilda's and the new apple tree

And they have been busy there was a violent storm a while back, knocked down one of their apple trees, but it survived and grows albeit horizontally now so Hilda turned into a sculpture with some wood she happen to have lying around :-) I love it, would like to construct one of these at the beach

Melbourne Graffiti Alleyway and lane ways

Picking up the thread again after finishing off fashion week, back to the road trip, we finished of our breakfast at the Bloomfield hotel and have a long drive ahead of us to get close to the border. But not without first visiting the Melbourne famous street art. Kenny has one of these inked on his body It seems that the good people of Melbourne don't have objections to all this art, especially as we are just off the main CBD streets off Flinders and Collins street. Click here to see where they are all located Mother of Christ , save me from this toxic city full of parasites We're all appreciating it If you are into street art, and in Melbourne next, you might consider doing a guided tour of these painted alleyways so much colour even a sculpted face on one of the graffiti'd walls







When Politicians go home at night they like to pull out a few weeds so they feel they've accomplished something positive for the day cuteness amongst the colour



The Arts are a proven platform for enriched and positive understanding of ourselves and the world in which we live.
This painting demonstrates the power of a title to reflect our reading of a picture ------------ son of a bitch.
More cameras greater security    means     I won't be doing this for much longer.


love it love it even more.
For more info check out this site about all the laneways and some more photos.

The Kamal catches a ride(r)

Me on my Tribeca Grand Bike, riding along Mercer street with a couple of polyboards to put my photos  on for the exhibition. As I was riding along Broadway, I was riding against the wind, so was a bit of a sight, but no problem for me, had a lot of practice when I was 15-17, riding my bmx bike to the beach with surfboard under my arm. Anyway, as I was a bit of a site with this board under my arm along broadway, I had quite a few shots taken of me by people, so I decided to go along quiter Mercer street, when I saw Kamel from Style And the City, shooting some fashiony type, so of course I did not mind Kamel taking a shot of me. I must say, looking at it now, I look like I live here , hahaha

time for a reminder
