We’ve just uploaded a new album to Flickr called Spit ‘n’ Polish. Most were taken by me, using the oldest camera in our arsenal – namely the clunky 50′s Lomo that Jones bought me for my birthday many years ago – focusing on the finer details of beatifully sculpted bodywork, both old and older. The very talented Andy Hall taught us the technique of ‘not looking through the lens whilst composing the shot or clicking the shutter release’, and all of these follow that very strict rule, causing proud owners to look in bemusement at this strange way of snapping their pride and joy. Some of these shots (including those shown above) were released as a numbered, limited run and sold in Selfridges of London.

Urban Decay is an ongoing project about the beautiful city of Sydney. Whilst many people associate Sydney with picture postcard perfectness, we see it rather differently. Hand painted signs are plentiful here in Sydney, though our favourites are the ones that have seen better days. Almost every street has at least one filthy, sad sign, and yet, unlike the nasty shiny plastic signs of the High Streets of England, as these ones get older, their charm shines through.

Count Up is an on-going photographic project that we’re working on. The concept is very simple; see a nice piece of numeric type, and snap it! We’ll keep adding to the Count Up album on Flickr, as and when we see more numbers. Clearly there are many holes in it currently, and if we find better examples of numbers we already have, we’ll snap those too. You’ll note that on Flickr, the number allocated to the individual image does not correlate with the number actually in the image!

Just uploaded ‘Timewarp in Hicksville’ to Flickr. We took these shots whilst on our roadtrip to Uluru, in various outback towns, quite literally, in the middle of nowhere. Most of these places were totally and utterly deserted, probably because we were there during the Christmas period, but given their locality to the rest of Australia, we felt they were likely to be no busier at any other time of the year. They offered a timeless charm we’d not seen for years, almost like someone really had pressed the pause button on time itself. We played with the hue and saturation on these shots, though believe it or not, not too much – the drained colours caused by the intense sunlight that has shone on these places for 50 years or more.
