No one ever looked at one of my photos and said “what a lovely landscape!”.

Snapshots from a life, in no particular order. All mine unless otherwise noted; dates approximate. Unintentional do-overs likely.

Walking to breakfast (before dawn). East Richmond this morning, just for a visual change.

Boring Airport Photo number 163: Dulles International (just to keep yesterday's theme going…). I love this (Saarinen-architected) building, too, but it's none too convenient.

I love an airport at night… (LAX, by way of explanation for missing a few days posting here).

The Royal Edward Victualling Yard, Pyrmont (Sydney), 1988. Now the centrepiece of an extensively redeveloped and gentrified area (see comment below), when I knew it, it was a rough decaying docklands.

The Macaulay foundry, West Berkeley, late 1990's. It had an appealingly strange facade on Carleton that I tried to photograph over the years; I later had a strong personal connection to it when it housed artists and craft people, etc.

Wintry day, San Francisco Bay, from Nicholl Knob, Richmond, during one of my fave short urban hikes in the park there (2024).

Looking towards Newberry Springs (on the old Route 66, California, a decade or so ago).

Bridge — An experimental backdrop for an imaginary noise band (an extract). One of a series; yes, it's meant to be silent. Posted as an experiment (see video.hamishreid.com/easy-viewing/ for an explanation of the series). I don't expect many likes 😀.

Another view of the old Emeryville, 1990, on the cusp of gentrification. We're looking across what's now the Sonesta Hotel site towards Barbary Coast Steel (now an Ikea); the freeway's on the right.

The artist at work (West Berkeley / Emeryville, 1990). The old, long-lost pre-gentrification version of the area… (the railroad lines here are now a nice greenway, for instance).

The old White Bay Power Station, Rozelle (Sydney), 1988. I used to walk past this fave monster at least once a week on the way to band practice. Of course it's been gentrified now…

My last Now and Then for a while… Brocks Lane, Newtown, Sydney, 1988, pre-gentrification. As always with gentrified Newtown, it’s quite different nowadays, but still recognisable.

One more Now and Then from Newton (Sydney) in 1988… 105 Wilson Street pre-gentrification, when it housed a struggling artist studio of some sort, IIRC.

Now and Then… Alpha House in 1988, at the top end of King Street, Newtown (Sydney), just as developers got to it. It used to be a haven for artists, musicians, etc., but gentrification loomed…

Now and then… 131 Wilson Street, Newtown (Sydney), 1988. I used to live a bit further down Wilson Street (on top of a sandwich shop). See comment for current (gentrified) state…
