Red October

Severe bushfires cast striking colours on Sydney, a surreal afternoon. I walk from Sydney Park in St Peters to Darling Harbour with jaw agape. No editing of photos apart from auto-brightness adjustment.

Pantene Pro

Would you get your hair cut here? This short lived hand drawn sign was in a Korean convenience store in Haymarket.

Chinatown Blues

Some lovely blue lit-up cherubs in Chinatown for Chinese New Year. Thanks Clover Moore, we like.

The Best Graffiti in Sydney

Most graffiti is designed to annoy but this piece inspires. "I love this city" spray painted on up high on George Street, Haymarket. Nice one!

What The?

Feel the need to play pool in your PVC bondage gear? Then head on up to Cue City in Chinatown...

Toto, I have a Feeling We're Not in Shanghai Anymore

Friday night markets in the Chinatown mall. Food on sticks - party time.

Another Load of Politicians' Promises

Great trap truck spotted in Quay Street...

Auntie

My favourite people in the world are 'aunties' - Chinese old ladies. They're tough as nails and they don't take shit from nobody. Here's a tops auntie on the warpath, complete with quilted flak jacket and trolley of mass destruction. Bless her. George Street, Chinatown.

Hellbento

Creepy childlike mannequin in a Japanese clothes shop in Chinatown.

Brian Eno

Beardie busker setting up his amazingly complicated trippy electro rig outside Paddy's Markets. This guy has been floating around as long as I can remember.

Living in a Suitcase

Market stall holder asleep in a suitcase. Chinatown Friday night markets. Eat your heart out George Clooney in 'Up In The Air'.

Ad.

Great poster for the Gruen Transfer tv show, Chinatown.

Elder Paik - My New Hero!

Elder Paik has quickly become my new favourite 'local colourful character". I've seen him around Chinatown quite a bit of late. He's a Korean War vet armed a hoola hoop, flowers, makeup and a HUGE smile.





It's amazing how many passers-by barely bat an eyelid.

Renovators Delight. City Views. Light and Airy.

Delicious urban decay/preservation/car park. Quay Street Chinatown.

Lovely Urban Decay - Quay Street Chinatown

We think this place is just a front.
