Day 255 2015: Through the looking glass...

Day 255: ...a camera by any other name...

...is still a photo. Or something like that. Perhaps my next photographic blog could well be called 'through the looking glass', since via a camera, we are really seeing an image through many looking glasses, or lenses. Or, so I thought this eveing as I looked at the marvellous 2/3-D chalk illustrations of arstists including Jenny McCracken and others, whose work is on display at South Bank at the moment, in a place called 'Arcadia', as part of the Brisbane Festival. 




What you see...

...is not quite what you expect

Or you could just fly away

I was there again this evening to watch the wonderful Simone Young conduct the Queensland Symphony Orchestra playing Mahler. Young is one of our very best conductors. It is such a privilege to see her perform. 

While waiting to go in, I played around with my new interest in 'long shots sans tripod'-effect, seeing what the steadying surface will show.

Treasury, right down the line. (Outside QPAC)


There is more BrisFest just waiting to be watched, observed, eaten and enjoyed. 'Arcadia', quite appropriate to be looking through a looking glass really.
