Melbourne - Street art
Whenever I visit Melbourne, Australia, I like to take a walk through the galleries and see the old classic paintings, because I like them. No matter the finished piece, if I look at it with an understanding of their time and style I can interpret the subject from my own view and share the concept.
Then I like to dive into Melbourne's alleys and seek out the street art. As with the classics, I can accept the artists' time and style, no problems there. They can paint, there is humour, and there are messages in their work. There are standard spray-paint pieces, stencils, 3D pieces and high-rise scissor-lift works. They all know their work is ephemeral, to be painted over one day, some soon, some later. Art is forever progressing.
If your work is shown here, please add your credits in a comment. I don't want to claim credit for these works, simply to share the work to a wider audience. Thank you.
All art work was photographed on 14th February 2014, and it changes daily.

Venice - classic views
There must be thousands of thousands of photographs of Venice in print and online, but on visiting Venice I found that few photographers caught what I saw. Of those with a similar perspective, some took almost identical shots as myself, although not quite, we all have our differences in style. I enjoyed sharing their work, so have here published a part of my own portfolio on Venice to share. Yes, there are thousands more.
To begin, I have on this page posted a selection of classic views, or rather, my view on classic Venetian landmarks. But then, there seems to be a stunning view around every corner in Venice. And we all have our own lasting impressions. And there are so many views and details which I saw but did not even try to capture with the camera. I stopped and admired, took time, and simply appreciated Venice.
