Stonehenge

Wairarapa, New Zealand, today: “Stonehenge Aotearoa” is a modern interpretation of Stonehenge. It differs obviously in many ways, but is similar to what a “perfect” version of Stonehenge would have been if built in this part of the world- albeit in concrete moulding… Canon EOS 30D/18-55is

Atem

Brussels, Belgium, 2004: The inner sanctum of the “Atomium”- see earlier post. It still had that futuristic/utopian look- albeit the worse for wear in 2004. Later I discovered it had been closed and renovated in 2005, and now looks all flash. Canon EOS A2E/28-105

The Alley

Wellington, New Zealand, 2009: Experimenting with wireless flash, umbrella, torch & long exposures in “the alley”. Simon Burrow came up with the idea and asked me to tag along… It was a two person job- someone to trigger the camera’s, someone to pop the flash, someone to paint the walls with a torch, and both […]

Ministry

Belgrade, Serbia, 2002: The Yugoslav Ministry of Defence building in Belgrade was considered a masterpiece of post-war architecture. It was bombed along with many other “strategic” buildings in Belgrade and elsewhere in The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the 1999 Nato bombing campaign.Most of the major bridges across the Danube in Serbia were also targeted, […]

Bowling Alley

Wellington, NZ, 2011: More shots from today at the “bowling alley”, the new bus lane through the former “Manners Mall”. This elder gentleman seemed to have a death wish and took the buses head-on…. Canon EOS 30D/Makinon 28mm f2.8
