Return

This is a first for me!


Today, I went back to a place that I have already been too and photographed. I couldn't get everything I wanted last time due to cars parked in the way, So I went back again, and although there were cars, again, I managed to get some more shots.


I might even have to go back again to get the rest!


I wish that street artists would leave a title of there work so we can all try and understand what they were trying to capture. I would call this one 'Boom, Headshot' if I had to pick a name. Gotta say, this style is pretty awesome, and the colours are very bright. 

Times like these I wish I could read the writing as well, All I can see is a little blue guy hugging a purple thing, But they are probably 2 letters!



I don't even know what to write about this one. A picture paints 1000 words so you can interpret this however way you like. But its one of the most confusing, amazing and all around awesome pieces of art that I have ever seen.


Sadly, this is all I could take this time, as there were again, more cars that were getting in the way of all the other walls. But I took a picture of the entire building so you can see all the work from this blog entry and my previous entry from last week. 

I'll try and get the rest at night some time and show you the other 2 remaining graffiti pieces then.


The painting on the far left that is half cut out is the tag from the image above. For scale, This building is ~3 storeys high, so each of these pieces are fairly big.

These pictures were taken again from behind a Bridgestone tyre warehouse, the same as last week.

Imagination

Before I can really begin this entry, I will have to post the picture I'm actually talking about, so, Here it is!
A Underwater City

This painting is huge. Probably just as high as the Alice in Wonderland painting I blogged last week.
The imagination of this artist is incredible, an old totalled car, beautiful underwater creatures, a huge metropolis in the background and some amazing colours all come together to paint a world.

I love pieces like this, I really do, I wish I myself could come up with ideas like this one. It really is remarkable just how well it all came together, I mean.. A city, marine life, a run down car all in one painting?.. And what's more, It looks amazing!

That's me in the picture, To scale the size, I'm just over 6ft.

Now this painting was behind a Bridgestone tyre warehouse, so there was a lot of cars being fixed up around, There is much more paintings to photograph there but there was too many car's in the way, So I'll go back later in the week on Sunday when it is closed and take the rest then.

But there was one more picture I could take, as the car was some old run down crappy Ford (sorry to any Ford lovers out there, But I hate them) which didn't bother me so much in the frame.



Sometimes I wish I could read what they say, the style is really cool as are the colours, The ford how ever, is a piece of shit and should die already.

Wonderland

I went to a farm the other day.

That's right, a farm. It is located a 7 minute walk (Yes, I timed it) out of Perth city. A strange place for a farm I though, all that separates the farm animals from a 6 busy train lines is a small wired fence. I don't even know if that is legal!

But any way, moving on. Here are some pictures of said farm.. I'll keep them small so you can see a few shots of it..


Had some rather interesting paint jobs all around it, was like no other farm yard I had ever seen before, that's the truth.
But what came as the best surprise was a HUGE, and I really do mean big mural type painting of Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland. I even have a picture of my friend in the shot, just to show the size of the painting.
Simply, Amzaing.


My 6ft friend (Wearing a Alice shirt!)




The detail is simply amazing, a true work of art.

This is with a doubt commissioned by the farm, and why wouldn't it be? It has captured everything that Wonderland is about, but also has 'Tags' in their that fit in perfectly.

I normally go out at night to take my photo's as it suits the urban theme alot better. But with this absolute masterpiece I didnt want to loose any detail at all that the darkness sometimes does, So this was spot on midday with the sun shining and I think it made it all the prettier.

If you live in Perth and want to see this, I suggest you do because I mean really.. This is just sensational. It is located right on Claisebrook train station or HERE and go into street view and check out the building, its partly blocked by a bus, but you can see what I meant when I said that there was different paint jobs all over it!

Again guys, dont forget to vote for me HERE if you like my work.

Until next time my friends,

Hate of being busy

It's been so long since I have been able to go out, and I still haven't found time! :(


I've been tied down doing my part time work and also a shit tonne of studying for my Digital Media unit..


But on the trains and such I have been prepping myself to a very nice night out of photography :D


I have been reading a very handy book on different styles and techniques of photography and have also ordered myself a very nice (and expensive :[ ) tripod which will hopefully pay off with some amazing night shots.


So although I don't really have anything to upload and show you that is well.. good.. I did however go to the beach for a goodbye party for a close friend who is leaving for a year in the army and got some nice photo's of the sunset (Yes, corny to the max I know)


So yeah, you guessed it. This week, instead of some amazing urban photography shots, I am going to treat you to some amazingly not so interesting Nature Shots! - I'll make it my priority to go out and get some shots of the streets some time very soon :)
