    Thanks for your comment bobbyboy... otherwise it seems that no one requires any explanation or this wondrous image!

    Just between the you and the me, it was a gift from our friend Darko who wanders the streets of his home town in Croatia endlessly seeking images. He captures these images and shares them with folk who may be interested in viewing or reading those captured images. But he doesn't feel the need to explain them. I was taken by his image and wondered how he came upon it. At first I thought he had been at a cafe or restaurant and was mucking around with his camera and some eating utensils such as a spoon or fork and lit upon the idea that the fork represented an elemental force smashing down upon his table from the clouds! But I was wrong. I asked Darko about it, and found it was "merely" a photograph of a poster displayed in his town of Split. So he took a shot of the poster which he and I both found most "expressive". What worries me bobbyboy is that other than you, no one else was interested enough to respond? I'm really pleased that you did respond! Otherwise I might have felt that Darko's effort was entirely wasted. pt

Eyeless in Gaza, images from the net.

          Eyeless in Gaza...   Footnotes:   I wanted to leave these images up clear of any text. My friend Richard suggested we should acknowledge the sources so I've made a big effort to track them down out of respect for the incredible job they do, and especially for their courage, working in the dangerous zones where so many aid workers and journalists have lost their lives. But some are not credited on the pages of publications I drew them from. Here's a list I've just completed, numbered from the image No.1 at top of page down to the final one, No.9  1.

The End of Humanity!

  A ward in a major hospital in Gaza, image courtesy of Médecins Sans Frontières Australia Well, I hope I will never have to be admitted to a hospital with facilities devastated like this. In fact I have a great aversion to hospitals even when they are relatively clean and well run as I have found here in Australia. Even at my worst moment in 2015 at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, I was never confronted with a ward such as we see in the image above. The procedure I was in hospital for required an operation in the middle of the night, in a theatre which was "under construction"... it was being "renovated" while still being used for serious operations! I was aghast at the situation but had I had no choice, it was an emergency and I was happy to be looked after by people who cared about my wellbeing and did their best under the circumstances. The news we endure every day and night shows us that we are a most privileged society... it's far from perfect here, but you ...

Farewell To A Dear Friend

Image
Our friend Nigel Buesst. A friendship of so many years, 62 years since we first met. Plenty of water under the bridge. Nigel at home with his minder, Jedda  photo by Ivan Gaal I was just starting out in my life as a filmmaker, working at the State Film Centre in the library section. One day I was on counter duties, receiving films returning from borrowers and handing out films to other borrowers. In walked Nigel with a bundle of films under his arm, returning them from a film society he was involved with at the time. I think it was the CSIRO film group and Nigel was collecting another bundle which they would run in an upcoming programme. A short conversation of a few minutes at the counter established that we were both interested in making films and soon enough we became close friends. Nigel was about to shoot “Fun Radio” which was a real buzz for me. He asked me to shoot a few shots from his fancy sports car so I got to operate his new Bolex camera for a tracking shot or two as ...
