I haven't really thought about doing a series...I tend not to really plan ahead and don't really go out of my way to take photos, which is why most of my shots are taken in the city or between my place and the city. <br /><br />Maybe I should though? I do sometimes feel like I've fallen into a photo rut, so that might up the creative energy. Hmmm...<br /><br />Hey db. Thanks. Not sure KRudd's head is a stand out though. The pic I mean...not that his head is anything special either, apart from it being the PM's. Anyhoo....<br /><br />Yes, the Exhibition Building (not plural, as far as I am aware) is a pretty amazing place, visually and historically. <br /><br />Hi chrome. It was a very gleeful day indeed. Clearly sneakers over powerlines is not confined to Australia. <br /><br />Hi Jayne. More coincidence! Of all the books and all the bookshops in this town! I was actually surprised that the book wasn't more expensive. <br /><br />Hey Jen. And that was just one day! Unfortunately I was sick the following day and did pretty much nothing.

The drug dealer thing is just one of a whole bunch of possibilities. I tend to agree with you - maybe someone did it once and it's just taken off as a bit of a lark - kinda like footwear graffiti. <br /><br />Hello Ludwig. Unfortunately I didn't get to see the books KRudd bought. I wondered later if he'd picked up a copy of Annabel Crabbe's QE on Malcolm Turnbull! <br /><br />Wow, it is a small world! I didn't realise until I googled Ethical Eating for the link here that it was a Penguin book. I never think to check first! Maybe I should email you a list of the books on my list of books to read??!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08031245139089119281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6585199145085310155.post-29584870646827900252009-07-26T05:53:59.215+10:002009-07-26T05:53:59.215+10:00Wow - that's extraordinary - happening to be s...Wow - that's extraordinary - happening to be standing next to Kevin Rudd! :) I am curious about what books he was buying - betcha he didn't buy 'The Liberal Years' or something, that for sure. :) Glad you saw the Exhibition Building - yet ANOTHER building I've worked. Also, small world, but I'm actually doing Angela Crocombe's old job. i'm in her old role - and yet another book, I could've got for you for free, or next to nothing....Ludwignoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6585199145085310155.post-63483509873574190972009-07-26T02:51:11.549+10:002009-07-26T02:51:11.549+10:00I did read somewhere that the shoes over the power...I did read somewhere that the shoes over the powerline mark a drug dealer's territory.
