And to start things off, I'd like to put up a little picture I took today of a gorgeous building.
I've been seeing a lot of them around recently. They've started to capture my eye more and more often. Regularly my eye is draw up, above the heads of the on-lookers, and towards the towering structures that surround us every day. We live in them. We work in them. We turn to them for shelter, warmth, relief from heat (I hate the word "coolth"), an escape from everything. The Gruen transfer, Le Corbusier, home.... we all relate to buildings.
And so here's my first instalment of what will no doubt become a long series of building pictures. I call this one "Watch out Church, there's something sinister growing inside you"
Ok, perhaps I show a few more shots of the same building. It's times like this that I wish I had some of those great CanBerran artsy folk around, to get some good feedback on my pictures, composition, etc. Criticism, please! Constructive or not.
This was what I saw as I was riding up the street in East Melbourne. I was thinking "wow, the front of that church looks flimsy".
And then I decided to try and frame the building with the beautifully stark trees surrounding it, without success.
And when I finally got past it, I fell in love with the ominous talk dark structure inside, and how it reflects, or mocks, the pastel exterior. And I tried to get the cute lamp in the picture. Sharp eyes might catch a glimpse of the MCG at the end of the street.
If you want to know about the building I'm living in, just Google "Frank Cassar".
Adios.
