From the Vault #2


Scanned in 2009 from a negative taken in the late 90s, looking over the back fence where we lived in Abercrombie Street, Sydney.  The cactus flowered once for one night not long before we moved house.

from my desktop

My desktop was so full, I couldn't see the wallpaper so I decided to do some drag & drop filing.  I've cleared up 1/2 of it and left some others like: A sleepy skeleton that I photographed in Macau in 2004.


and then there was Frida Kahlo & Emmy Packard from 1941, which I did not take! (it was up for auction recently so I made a note of it but as it was taken by Diego Rivera, I wasn't going near the bidding)
Finally, one of my favourites from the NGA, by Ken Botto (previously from the collection of Peter Fay):
 some days I look at a slideshow of things I've quickly chucked on my desktop, just for the pleasure and surprise.
