Bounce Back





In the 1st world, aka, the developed world, we rail on about recycling and reusing, 
 but the inventive products that are coming out of some of the slums of the 3rd world,
 such as rubber shoulder bags, put us to shame.

Finally we are starting to see some wonderful end results of people taking control of their own circumstances and 
trying to improve them by whatever means available. 
There are stores now that will connect us with these products. 


 The r.e.a.l store in Woolloomooloo is one of them.

Hiding in the open






















Street art comes in more than one format_that of paint on walls, it can comes in many guises. Someone, god love them, in Enmore and Newtown has gone to such great care and effort as to cut tiny, beautiful birds out of tin, paint them and then place them in secret places, that are out in the open.

Looking at the bigger picture sometimes mean you miss the tiny stories within. It is in the detail or in the punctuation that the subtle is found.
