Typology Tuesdays
The town of Katoomba, the heart of the Greater City of Blue Mountains, is a breeding ground for eccentric characters, poets, artists, environmentalists and numerous others of the same general vein. Suffice to say the mix of relaxed hippie vibes, historic houses and new found wealth from Sydney weekenders leads for some interesting streets.
The following is a brief typology of Katoomba houses.

Muscle in Melbourne
When I saw this Valiant I was in the car with my parents and brothers in North Melbourne and we were kinda lost, so I told them to pull over and figure out where we were… I promptly got out, walked across the road and took a few photos.
Up and Over
Without fail if you’re hanging out taking photos at ANU (I don’t even go there), someone you know will run into you and ask what you’re doing. A friend of mine bumped into Nagesh and I busy moving this construction gear around to get a good photo before the sun totally disappeared, this post is for you Milly!

MB in BW
I have been driving Gabe’s 1969 Mercedes Benz for the past few months, and by that I mean most Sundays we open the bonnet and try to figure out which fuse I broke this week.
If you are the kind of person who prefers power steering, air conditioning or even speed, then this is just not the car for you. Luckily it’s mine for now anyway.
Canon A-1, Ilford Pan400, guess who took the first photo.
Garage Sale Experiment
Sitting in Ben’s garage taking apart a 1986 Honda Civic and he realizes that he’s left his tools at his girlfriend’s. So I’m sitting there waiting for him to come back and my phone rings, It’s Ben and apparently there’s a garage sale down the road I need to come see. There’s all kinds of awesome stuff (because, obviously) from Drizabones to Cameras…. Cameras! I found this Minolta XD5 there and picked it up for $30 with flash AND lens, not a bad deal I thought, so long as it works.
The Specimen.
I put a roll in and started carrying it with me.
Trees, clouds and concrete at uni.
9-5 command center.
Locked up.
Mum, Dad and Finn.
Haig Park
Selfie.
Well it worked and the 28mm lens is more versatile than the 50mm I have on my Canon so it’s going to stick around. Except for the two instagram photos, all of these were taken using Kodak Ultramax 400 and link through to flickr.
Lonsdale Street Roasters
Lonsdale Street Roasters have two cafes in Braddon on the same street and for me and many others they’re a fun place to hang out, work and people watch. Here are a few snaps from the past week around the two stores.
Alex and I have worked together for around 4 years now between two different places. He’s mean muggin here but he’s the nicest guy around the rest of the time.
The light hits the shop pretty insanely for a few minutes every morning.
It’s a shame these two couldn’t focus but they show the magic light vibes anyway.
Rays pour through that window and into the shop, the light on the black wall is a reflection off the two shop windows.
#23 gets some nice sun too. This is Mel who works there.
Magnus’ cafe racer parked at #23.
Alistair’s STI Subaru Liberty is a beast. This one was taken out the back of #23.
All of these photos were taken with my Nikon ZOOM200 AF using Kodak Ultramax 400 and link through to Flickr.
