Geelong is undergoing a revival but there are still remnants of an earlier time.

View of Melbourne from Altona
I was passing though Altona (as you do) and it was low tide allowing me to see around the corner to the city. You will notice a red sign. In the olden days ( last year) I would have edited this out, but it’s important that my photos show reality and not some AI fever dream.

Tuesday Night In Footscray
It was late, it was wet, and the usual noise of the west had finally gone quiet.
We were walking back from a bowl of pho, and as we hit the street, the stillness of the night completely caught me. The busy road was empty, and the rain had turned the asphalt dark and faintly reflective . The light splashing across the wet tram tracks—this intense, warm glow cutting through the dark, balanced by a sharp red door in the distance and the cold blue of the lights on the wall, then the yellow pouring out of cafe window. The people are still.
I was shooting wide open at f/1.2 on a manual $100 TTartisan lens, dragging the shutter down to 1/30th of a second just to hold onto those bleeding colors.
I wanted the dark. I wanted to capture the exact weight of that late-night silence and the way the light hit the wet steel.
It ended up being on Flickr Explore . But to my eye, it’s just the memory of a quiet walk home in Footscray.

Half a second
Descending the escalator and firing off a long exposure. This froze the thing I was standing on and everything else had a motion blur. It works better in full resolution and was in two minds about making it black and white.
