When the Ordinary becomes Extraordinary

Hey Gang;

Last week the Leichhardt council was running a photo competition. I spent the week riding around trying to find some interesting & unusual vantage points within the council boundary, but to no avail.
A common theme in photography is to steer clear of well known landmarks unless you have a very original and unique take on them (as they are very familiar and thus might not stand out). But, a cracking sunset rolled through on Friday afternoon and i ended up capturing a well known steeple in our suburb. You can see it here: The Annandale Steeple

On Saturday night The Lovely Samantha "just didn't see" the black car in front of her and turned our car into a poster child for the efficacy of crumple zones. Thankfully that's the only drama, no injuries. On a positive note, at least we're getting some return on the years of investing in our insurance company's future.

Sunday was photojournalism class again. My photo essay, while getting increasingly interesting, is starting to stray away from pure photojournalism (which dictates fly on the wall style. No staging of events). I need to steer it back in the right direction in the coming weeks.

see ya,
Minas.
