this morning i went out and bought myself a new (or nearly new)
motorbike for work. now that i'm on the short channel, the bike
i have been using for sometime now requires a little too much
effort to get around on. lots of inner city work and kerb jumping
means that a road-trail bike is about the best thing to use. so it's
back to a tried and trusted yamaha xt600 which will no doubt make
things much easier. i might even take a shot of it tomorrow and
post it here!

i was on the go all day today again and saw a lot of potential
stuff to shoot. i will get around to shooting some of it when i
get a chance. here's two from today -

i didn't shoot anything yesterday but i think there is more potential
in the area that i now work in. i'm restricted to a much smaller area
of about 2 or 3 kms in and around the city/south melbourne zone.
lots of stuff that should be interesting i think.
of course i'm doing a lot more short runs so i have much less time
in-between so i'll shoot when i can get the chance.

today's theme is shadows -

some of you could be forgiven for thinking that i have been
in mourning over the loss to england in the rugby world cup.
that isn't the case though! it was a great match - maybe not
for skills and flowing play but for the way it panned out.
it was an absolute nail-biter and our team can hold their heads
up high for their effort. congratulations to england for their
victory i think they deserved it in the end - they have been
probably the best side in the world over the past year or so!

despite not really having any breaks today at work, i did manage
to shoot a few pics - here's some of them -
