Should come as no surprise that the July photo zine is a monochrome affair. It's just my mood this winter. Most cities look better in B+W, and Melbourne comes up a treat. All that winter light making long shadows.

That extra complexity of shooting very very wide is both a curse and a blessing. Once you start seeing these extra elements as opportunity instead of hurdles, the compositions start to makes sense. And for me, the idea of my subjects being very very small in a big scene is an extra bonus. I love the play on scale. I like to step into that world of tiny humans, and explore their world as they are confronted by the scale of our cities and buildings. Are we building cities for people, or for profits?
One of these shots is taken at 12mm, the other at 50mm. We change how we see the world when we change lenses. This is what I enjoy most about reviewing camera gear. Just having a reason to flip around my brain and look at my home town from a totally new perspective. I walk this bridge a dozen times a week, on my way to a client or to coffee. But this week I get to stop and explore the scene, and make some photos. And try to make each shoot different to the last time I stopped and took photos on this bridge.

Apologies I haven't been sharing much in the way of photos lately. My brain has been dunked in acid wash for the last few weeks while I plod through a couple of very large projects.

Having exhausted myself by digging myself into a ditch, has been hard to find the energy to try digging out again. I have been out to shoot a few photos, but then lacking the energy to edit them once I'm home. Sometimes we just need a break from the camera.

Anyhoo, here's a pigeon. The most successful species to adorn our city streets.
