It's been a while since the last PA-Supposedly-Day has been posted. However the 40D was in hospital yet again to have the shutter which failed during the Melbourne trip replaced and while I had the Olympus and the 300D, I was just a bit jack of photography for a while. (Though I do think that there are a few on the Olympus that I need to download and add.) Not to mention being jack of repair costs. Not to mention not having enough hours in the day to process and put up the hundreds of photos that I've already tagged for addition to my galleries.

And this time of the year doesn't make it any better. Sculpture By The Sea is on again. I recall that last year it took me weeks to process all of the photos that ultimately went into that gallery (168 of them, in all), and I promised myself that I'd be more sparing in my shots this year. However I still came back with about 250 shots to be sorted / processed / discarded / indexed.

The exhibition ran from 3 November and closes tomorrow, which is another indication of how fast life goes. When it opened I thought that I had plenty of time but in reality you've got three weekends; that's it. And the weather hasn't always been kind; I was going to go last weekend but it was raining. This weekend it's supposed to be hot (over 30 in Sydney), but the morning sun barely put in an appearance while I was there, hidden instead behind the ocean cloud banks.

Still, it provided an interesting backdrop (yes, the white orb is the sun, not the moon) to this shot of Simon McGrath's Who Left The Taps Running?. The humour in the work comes from the fact that the taps are facing the ocean, though you can’t see that from this angle. The bird that's swooping along in the distance gives an idea of the sculpture's scale.
