Stranger Photos Have Occured - 15/04/2011 Brisbane

Hiya all!

To those of you who are on this page because you've found my camera, thank you for participating in the project!

Initially I was so terrified that no one's going to notice the camera or play with it, or that someone was gonna run with it. Then the partner decided to freak me out saying maybe some homeless dude shot a buncha pics of his junk. Made me so not tempted to develop the pictures.

But, I'm really happy with the results. There's some great people out there, great photographers! And thank you for playing with the camera!

 The Location - South Bank Riverside Walk. 

The Setup - Waterproof Disposable Camera attached to a card, attached to the railings.

The card for those of you inclined to read what's written on it. 

For all the pictures from the roll ( all of it developed well... =p) please visit the Stranger Photos Have Occured album. If you know the people in the pictures, please tag them! Let them know that you've seen their pictures!

Here's a selected few from the album:

I AM so SORRRYYYYYY.... & PlaModel Day 12.04.11

First.... I AM SO SO SO  UTTERLY SORRY... that I've abandoned the plog for the last few months... I promise I will be more diligent with mah posts....

But, anyway, so now I'm back here... and, I actually do have quite a bit to update. But, most importantly, is the pictures from PlaModel Day (12.04.11). This is probably gonna be the first of many. Oh, and I discovered that the PlaModel has Tilt-Shift lens... yah, so it took me that long to realize that.

Anyway, selected pics below. To see all of it, visit the Wherever My Lens Takes me Page!

Lomo Madness in Brisbane

Heya!

Firstly, sorry for the long disappearance. School was busy, I was busy, and my bed wouldn't let me go.

Anyway, I've got the first lot of lomo films developed, and there's some sweet pictures that I wanna share with you guys.

So, without further words...

"Lomo Madness: Brisbane Edition"

The Golden Eye

 

I swear this has GOT to be my favourite so far. And the best multiple exposure composition I've ever done. This was taken at the Ekka.

 Okay. Old habit of having to shoot clouds from a plane at work here. But, hey, I like imagining that the clouds are a field of fluff I can roll in. Can't a girl dream? 

 West End. So old school. *Loves*

 The South Bank view from Victoria Bridge. 

 Again, from Victoria Bridge. This time it's the North Quay view. 

 View from Victoria Bridge again. Sunset over the William Jolly Bridge.

 1. I don't know how many exposures there were. 2. I don't know where from. 3. I don't know which way to orientate it.

 View from Victoria Bridge: West End & William Jolly Bridge.

 At the South Bank Parklands: "5 White Ibis, sitting on the rails. 5 White Ibis, sitting on the rails. Along came a crow, and scared them all away. No White Ibis, sitting on the rails." 5 seconds after this shot, a crow came by a bullied them off. 

 If I'm not mistaken, this should be the view from the City Cat. God only knows where I was headed to then.

One of my favourite pictures: Sunset, Roma Station. The view's not from the station itself, but it's pointed towards the station.

 I forgot where this is. I'm guessing somewhere between Sailsbury Station & Coopers Plains.

 

The underpass from Normanby to Roma. 

The Disderi Triple Lens

 I think you can tell that this is the same picture as the one above taken with a different camera. =p

 

I seriously do not recall where this is. But, it's cute. =p

 

The Ferris Wheel. At Ekka. 

Plog Entry 6: The Cat & The Market

Okay, I have a very good reason for a late post for yesterday.

I was down at the New Farm Market with Miss D. Isa yesterday morning, and we got there via the City Cat (Get it? The Cat & The Market?)

So anyways, I took a tonne of pictures, some of which you will see in abit.

After we left New Farm, we went to deposit our shoppings at her place and went for dinner from there.

On the way to our beloved dinner, the bunch of us (myself, Miss D. Isa, Sashi & Joan), got desperately lost due to a crappy indian bus driver who, despite my repeating myself at least 5 times (I asked if the bus went to Wishart Square), dropped us off at Wishart OUTLOOK VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER. Obviously, the 4 of us had no idea where we were. Went crashing into the nearest (ONLY) open shop, and kind of realized we were in the wrong end of Wishart. (I wanted to kick the bus driver at that point). Well, so I called D and asked if he knew how we could get back to where we were suppose to be, to which he had no answer (that's how lost we were). I was thinking to self, if the bus comes, we'll be good girls and take the bus back to where we started, and then be good girls and take buses that we know FOR SURE will deposit us in the right place).

At that point, it felt like the bus driver was mocking us, 'cuz, half an hour later, we were still in the same place. WITHOUT A BUS IN SIGHT. And Miss D. Isa had gone rabid with hunger (it started with splitting watermelons and escalated to asylum escapee).

So then, D came to pick us up and FINALLY, we were united with our wondrous dinner at Don's *yums*.

So anyways, by the time we were home, it was close to midnight (okay, maybe not that close, but I didn't check my watch) and I'd injured my leg and my previous injury from a tumble down the stairs was getting bad AND I had a sudden onset of one of the stupidest migraines (the second time this has happened in as many weeks... it was running around in my head and I was tempted to head-butt a wall).

So that's the reason why the post that's for yesterday was late.

Anyway, here's the pictures from

The Cat & The Market

This is the Story Bridge, linking the city to somewhere... ( I will figure that somewhere out another time). 

I want to stay in one of those houses... how nice to stay by the river...

... and be able to park your yacht right outside your house. 

My over-active imgination tells me this is a haunted hotel...

But, it probably isn't. 

The wonderful farmer's market at New Farm. Crowded eh? 

This guy's quite good with whatever that instrument he's playing is called. Quite enjoyed it. 

The same huge crowd further into the market...

... and another busker. The padre on the violin? He's got this permanent happy face on. But he was playing some real tragic music. Cute eh? 

My Lettuce comes in POTS!! And it's only 2 bucks! 

The New Farm Power Station. Gothic, no? 

And the inside of the Power Station. Cool yeah? 

Spotted this lovely black house by the river on the way back. I WANTS!!!
