Photoquest 4

This page is archived from a static page – some links may not work

In a continuation of the Photo blog entries that are increasingly becoming prevalent on this page I have just completed a challenge for Flip who monthly posts a list of common items for people to capture on digital photographic media. The idea stems from the fact that this medium allows us to communicate easily with people from different parts of the world, people who’s normal everyday items are different to our items (and vice versa)

Your favourite breakfast beverage

preferably in the box or bottle it was bought or poured into after manufacturing.

I do not have a lot of time in the morning, so breakfast for me is a glass of milk at home and then a breakfast bar in the car later.

A parking lot

preferably not one outside a shop. If you can get a parking meter into the photo I’d be overjoyed

Instead of a standard parking meter, I decided to capture the pay station at the Perth International Airport terminal, which incidental is the only place in Perth where you need to mortgage your house in order to park for 20 minutes!

your usual means of transportation

My Car…

I think this may not be the first photo I have placed on this site!

Your wrist-watch

or the clock you most frequently look at when you need to know what time it is

I’m one of these strange people who don’t wear a watch. I do occasionally, but generally I tend to just check out the clock on my telephone.

the kind of tree one would be most likely to find

in the area where you live.

Well. I could have gone with the traditional tree in my area, which is usually a palm tree, but it is hardly native to this area. There are plenty of gum trees in the nature reserve around the corner from my house and that was where I was originally planning to go to. In the end I took the kids down to Hyde Park to take photographs of the Morton Bay fig trees that grow there. Also not native to this area, but interesting non the less.

An emergency vehicle

preferably on an assignment

If I am able to get a vehicle on assignment then I will replace this image. For now though, we have an ambulance. One of two waiting outside the emergency department of Royal Perth Hospital

Photo Decisions

Woah!

This weekend totally flew by. I am busy prepping up a photo challenge post for Flip, I just need to get one more item, namely the emergency vehicle, and then I am ready to post. Not really sure what I am going to do with Photo Friday this week. It is discovery and I believe I have discovered my imagination is lacking. I’ve taken a couple of photo’s but I am unsure which angle I am going to take with it.

Prosh

This page is archived from a static page – some links may not work

I seem to forget it’s coming every year.

A normal work day I leave the house

What are those mad people doing in the city..

Ahh, it must be Prosh day!

For those who are unfortunate not to live in the world’s most isolated capital city, and I know how you all want to live here, Prosh is the day when the students from UWA dress up in fancy dress selling a satirical paper to raise money for charity. This year’s money will be going to the Association for the Blind of WA, Camp Quality, The Dyslexia-Speld Foundation and the Royal Life Saving Society of Australia.

The humor in Prosh is often controversial, definitely toilet humor and a good excuse for high school students to have a smirk over seeing the “c” word in print. As a result the disclaimer on page two recommends that if you are offended by the paper, just don’t read it and remember that your gold coin donation is going to charity.

Sunday Lunch

This page is archived from a static page – some links may not work

We live in different countries each with it’s own culinary specialities and we sometimes eat quite differently. I never get to see what you eat and you never to get see what I eat either. This is where a new challenge comes in to play. The challenge is called :
Alotonmyplate

In the second Wyn inspired post I present you with Sunday Lunch

This is barbecued steak, chicken, mushrooms onions served with vegies, baked potatoes and home made mango chutney

Photo Friday – Atmosphere

We had a barbecue this afternoon and all the while it threatened to rain. Then, in the late afternoon the black clouds cleared leaving a glorious blue sky.

Sunset heralded this..
