Lazy Sunday Brunches

2008.04.20



Our barrista told me he was more than happy to be on the other side of the lens for a change. He saw me shooting and had to bring out his dsrl to show me photos of the sunrise he'd gotten that morning....ahh photography - bringing people together!


Firstly let me just say how totally out of the loop I am feeling. Life has been busy and I just havnt been able to get on here much at all. To top it off, we have reached our braodband limit for the month yet again and the intrnet is mega slow. So to all my wonderful friends Ill simply say how much I have missed viewing your images and will do my best to attempt to catch up!!
In the mean time, here's a few photos from around Melbourne during our deliciously yummy and laid back Sunday brunch.

ambersunsets Love the black and white.
Four and five are my favorites!
Yes, it is wonderful when photography connects people:)

eljapa I know.. busy busy, the same here... but i do like these pictures. Just reading a very old book about photography and these pics should be in it! Great B&W, like the amount of contrast...
Just take it easy!!

CJLata · 2008-04-20: 16:49
etodd80 Broadband limit? Thats very uncool! Love the effect that number 4 has, great b/w shots!
etodd80 · 2008-04-20: 16:53
dhulsmeyer wtf is a broadband limit? lol i'd be forced to tell my isp to shove it up their ass if they gave me a limit. =P

anyway, these are great photos. i'm liking that 4th one with it's blurriness. makes him look like he's moving in ultra high speed mode.
dhulsmeyer · 2008-04-20: 17:12
coyoteself Fantastic B&Ws
coyoteself · 2008-04-20: 17:28

Lindyart · 2008-04-20: 19:31
oldbabe I love your b/w set. Looks like something out of the 50s. I like the first and last....they are kind of creepy.
oldbabe · 2008-04-20: 19:36
leocheung This is a classic series! I love them all.
leocheung · 2008-04-20: 19:43
dadlak b/w is so dramatic...i need to try it...great work
dadlak · 2008-04-20: 19:43

lghssmls Loving this series & the b&w gives it extra effect!
lghssmls · 2008-04-20: 20:06
Amethyst Wow! #3 is my favorite, I just adore the upper-half of the image. The whole set looks great in black and white, and you have a really nice variety of scenes going on. Great set =) =) =) !
Amethyst · 2008-04-20: 20:54
genuinesqueak I am in the same boat!! even the internet being slowed down! lol.
genuinesqueak · 2008-04-20: 21:03
vollenda Cool set! The light in #3 is fantastic! I find having my camera is an icebreaker too. :)
vollenda · 2008-04-20: 21:20
Queen911 This is so cool I love the feel of the photos, they are not a true b/w, but nice tone.
Broadband limit wow!!
This series remind me of an old movie. I'm still learning.
Queen911 · 2008-04-20: 21:24
veganess Aw, there is something very rewarding in having a lazy Sunday. Broadband limit? You mean you only have so many hours per month to use the internet? That would be the pits!! You'll have to restrict towside (even tho he insists it isn't him).
veganess · 2008-04-20: 21:31
jwideman glad you came back!! very cool photos
jwideman · 2008-04-20: 21:36
mrutherford22 I adore #1 and 4. But I really like the way the light makes everyone glow in #3. Great post!
mrutherford22 · 2008-04-20: 21:38
TheCrazyCroat This is such a beautiful series. I always look forward to your pics.
TheCrazyCroat · 2008-04-20: 21:47

kazshots great urban set, you know these are my favourite type of shots! Love # 4 & 5. You know, I was thinking the other day about Melbourne's laneways and what a great little set that could be! We should give it a go.
kazshots · 2008-04-21: 04:39
storytaylor stunning stuff.
storytaylor · 2008-04-21: 07:39

mystic1 · 2008-04-21: 16:14
BreezyOnTheEyes gettin' all black and white on us are ya?? well, i'm loving it! this whole set it realy great. i love 3, 4 & 5 particularly. in three, i totally just have a thing for lines. i think that any combination of lines is endless interesting. this shot is no exception. i love how the global is such a circular intrusion. really great composition. four is a lot about lines for me too, but i also realllly like the contrast and the lights and shadows. esp. the footfalls on the walking man. just really interesting breaking of that light spot on the ground. five i love where the focus lands and i love the action of the barrista. i think it's fantastic that he whipped his camera out to share his morning shots!

excellent, of course. nice job PB. l&h!
BreezyOnTheEyes · 2008-04-21: 19:13
MHJphotos Ah Andrea ... such an amazing set! You don't do TOO much in BW, and this entire set lends itself to it so wonderfully. Congratulations (he says wishing he'd come up with something like these!) for seeing the potential of these shots in BW and making it happen. Fantastic set!

As for being busy, I can admit first handed that its okay to be busy and to leave this place (temporarily!) to regroup. I think some of us put entirely way too much pressure upon ourselves to live up to our own unrealistic expectations. When you do pop in, you're posts and comments are always some of the first ones that I look for ... and judging by the many comments every post you receive seems to get, I see that I'm not alone!

MHJphotos · 2008-04-21: 19:26
aurian Your laid-back Sunday brunch sounds delicious, delightful and many other alliterations! ;)

I think that busy sums us both up at the moment - I hope that you're keeping your head above water and not letting any work politics get to you at the moment! Thinking of you. :)
aurian · 2008-04-21: 20:39
LotoFoto These shots are excellent!
How cool that you & the barrista had this art in common!
LotoFoto · 2008-04-22: 00:50

Cartman971 · 2008-04-22: 08:47
Madoc I can see that you had a lot of fun with the lines in this wonderful urban set, especially on #1 & 2.
But my fav is #3: wonderful scene with magical light. Absolutely superb.
Madoc · 2008-04-22: 09:00

basisimages These are great, Andrea. And you beat me to the punch on the barista theme! I had exactly that in mind! Drats!
basisimages · 2008-04-23: 08:44
KerBear Andrea... trust me... I know how you feel! I haven't been able to get on in days and now I'm just struggling not only to post all my missed days, but catch up on every one else's as well!! I'm glad I did though... great set! :) I love #3....
KerBear · 2008-04-24: 20:28

Peche Quintessential Melbourne... love it! Nice to see you dabbling in the black and white.
I love the fact that I can see the dangling pairs of piffed shoes in the first shot... hehehehe
