Haven't been out anywhere much lately, and haven’t really taken many photos either. Just got a couple of small albums here – pretty random ones too, wasn’t even on a proper photo trip or anything.
The first album’s just some sunset shots of yachts in a couple of different marinas (they’re pretty close to each other though). First one’s Yaringa, second one’s Hastings. Both open out into Western Port Bay – which, weirdly enough, is actually east of Melbourne’s Port Phillip Bay. There’s no fancy scenery, no flash beaches or glamorous views out that way. But Western Port’s well sheltered from bad weather and it’s not too far from the city. They use it for moving big stuff like oil and steel. There’s also a navy base there – HMAS Cerberus.
Yaringa’s basically a little yachtie village, even got its own boat repair yard. Hastings, even though it’s a pretty small town, is more industrial. It’s got a steel plant, an oil refinery, and fuel storage tanks. Oh, and that rainbow over the refinery flares? Totally real – no Photoshop tricks.
The second album’s from a trip out to the TarraWarra art gallery (TarraWarra’s an Aboriginal word – no idea what it actually means). It’s a private gallery, no government funding. It’s set in a big vineyard of the same name, with a winery and a fancy restaurant. The whole place is flash, modern and expensive.
Except the actual exhibition... turns out no government funding doesn’t automatically mean good taste. The gallery’s full of modern, super-political lefty junk. Mostly about poor downtrodden Aboriginals and other negros. Only thing I really liked was a wooden crocodile.
Закатные яхты и деревянный крокодил
Давно никуда не ездил и особо ничего не фотографировал. Здесь только пара маленьких альбомов, которые получились достаточно случайно, без целевой поездки с фотографическими целями.
