URBAN PHOTOGRAPHY: A set of rusty bolts & peeling paint on the outside of an old building. An example of my Flaneur Photo-Art, what I see in my travels. It was only about 10 cm above the footpath, bolts about 3 cm apart. It caught my eye after I had a Thai lunch yesterday downtown. It was on the old Commonwealth Bank building, now a Thai Restaurant (Q. Australia). No AI or Photoshop used. Contrast, brightness & cropping only (as with all my posts).

I threw a bed sheet onto my black leather sofa, when sorting some washing. I looked back, and saw this image, so took the shot.

It had been a long time trying to get inspired, after severe spine trauma from seizures about 2 years ago. After many failed attempts to “Find My Muse” again, I gave up trying to create a work just to suit an audience; just to impress. So I decided to just “reach inside myself,” and get back to my roots, my childhood, and go for it, and paint like a child. This one is for me. I had a red wine to celebrate after I painted “The Painted Ones.” I love it.

I think decay and squalor do a better job at graffiti art than try-hard humans.  The latter is just more of the same: Pollution.  I don’t want to walk up an alley and see yet another annoying mural. I want to see something like this. Keep it on your canvas, please.
