DANIEL – PRIMM, NEVADA
Last weekend as I was on my way to Las Vegas, I stopped in a really small place called Primm. Primm is basically a few casinos(one with a roller coaster),gas stations, a mall and a McDonalds. I met this boy named Daniel who is 18years of age and he told me a little bit about what you do in the middle of the desert when you are not old enough to drink or gamble. As it turns out you just hang out at McDonalds or the mall not unlike teenagers anywhere else. There really isn’t a lot going on here and I found his situation strangely interesting albeit simple, so I took a study of Daniel in the shadow of this giant, ominous McDonalds sign.
ST PATRICK’S DAY, NYC
So in all the time I have been in New York City, I have never been to The Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in person. I usually watch it on TV horning over the uniforms and kilts that I’m such a huge fan of. This year however, I went up to see the parade with my own eyes which I now totally recommend. There is far more entertainment in the crowd which is full of so many drunken and loose bridge & tunnel kids it really surprised me. Here are some images of the mayhem.

I drove down to Melbourne this weekend via Canberra and the strangest thing i noticed was the lack of people. It seems like there is a people to building ratio of 1/10. Its like this beautiful and harmonious city of very well planned trees, buildings and sports grounds without people. I feel like i saw more birds and wildlife even than people. This is the perfect place to go if you just want to be by yourself and have your space so i guess i understand now what the attraction is for some people. I felt very zen while in Canberra which might also be partially attributed to the way everything is symmetrically planned out in an almost obsessive compulsive da vinci code kind of way. Here are some trees, buildings and empty spaces.

I came down to Melbourne for the weekend with some American friends and it was interesting of them to point out that there are less boys with flip flops, short shorts, house shoes and poofy hair. To highlight some Melbourne street fashions i snapped a few shots while on walkabout around town.It is kind of chav skater meets bogue which makes me wonder why I don’t live in Melbourne.
Yesterday i went down to one of my favourite Australian beaches in the Royal National Park far south of Sydney. A half an hour hike in and only five people at the whole beach. Here are some images I took including a rock sculpture i made, a log i dug up from the seaweed, vinegar for blue bottle stings, and views along the way and on the beach. This is my ultimate escape from Sydney city.
Today is dedicated to high vis gear and tradies. In Australia most tradespeople wear some kind of high visibility gear as a safety requirement. I wonder if these guys are aware of the increasingly popular fetish that high vis is becoming. Here are some high vis street fashions i found on my travels today.
