I remembered some months ago that perhaps even I may have had an affair. I knew I hadn’t but could not shake the feeling of a distraction, some foolish obsession, sometime, somehow. And here she is.

She's lovely 😎

This is precisely one of my discoveries walking near home in the late afternoon, carrying a camera: so often on a rainy overcast afternoon, within an hour or so of sunset, a blast of silver sunlight will come through under the clouds, casting everything in the most vivid and transient glow. I came across this observation by Nabokov last week in his autobiography, “Speak, Memory”, an observation either as a boy, or no less remarkable, remembered from when he was a boy. Having been read to in English by his mother, and he and his brother learning to read and write English, before Russian, he was asked, in an interview decades later which I read yesterday, whether he thought in Russian or in English. He replied that he didn’t know, but so far as his writing was concerned, he thought in images anyway.

Robert that long post of mine above was being typed before your reprise of my little nyad. Nabokov would have approved of the synchronicity.

I had only my phone with me, so I used its camera here and in the previous shot of the sailing boat. The iPhone 15 did everything.

Something I always enjoy is documenting closures. Perhaps it's my desire to capture and immortalize time, because when I learn that a shop is closing, I automatically want to capture it before it is gone. Over time, I've documented numerous closures including Borders books, Masters hardware, and whatever small shops that come and go.

Magic Kitchens was in business for over 50 years, but was forced to close when the owner and primary cabinet maker unexpectedly passed away. This image was taken through the shop window in the last days of operation. The showroom used to be filled with display kitchens and furniture, then reduced to just this over the course of a few months.

We know the story of Borders, and the collapse of the Borders chain meant that stores all over Australia (and America) were discounting stock and selling shop fittings. It was not uncommon to see someone loading Borders bookshelves into a trailer or wheeling them out of the front.

Masters hardware was launched in Australia in 2009 with the intention of challenging homegrown giant Bunnings. Supermarket chain Woolworths partnered with American chain Lowes to build at least 150 stores. They built a chain of giant warehouse style stores, which eventually fell to the administrator's hammer. I have dozens of images of the Masters closure which I've never got around to posting.

@Bill Blackwell @Erik van Straten I'm really digging the timelessness of the older images being posted here. When one understands how long ago they were taken, it makes a person wonder where the subjects have gone, and what was their story. Conversely, when I see kids today, I sometimes wonder where they will be in 40 or 50 years time.

Just liked the brutalist concrete architecture framing the neoclassical columns.

Gee, that sounded really pretentious. Didn't mean to be. I just like the picture...

Did you develop these yourself or lab? Nevertheless, the color pallette on these is quite nice. 👍

Thank you! The lab developed it and I scanned. I like too how the colors turned out, I think they are more vivid because I pushed the Kodak Gold to 400iso.
