We were aksed by Sinclair Brook to design a label for their Yering Station Xmas wine. Looking forward to popping the cork on this in the next few days!
Popped into a certain unhelpful bike store on Brunswick Street yesterday to get some parts. They had these bikes in there — Masi. Apparantly an Italian company originally, the bikes are now being manufactured in Taiwan. They looked the goods.
I met up with a mate the other week that happens to be a street/documentary photographer. We were having a coffee at local Collingwood cafe CIBI (great chicken foccacias) when he whipped out his Leica and snapped off a few frames. He just sent this photo through from that day and I was pretty amazed at the result. Interesting how an ordinary scene can be made to look so interesting and provoking through the eyes of a true talent.

Every now and then you come across a photographer who captures something really unique in average subject matter. I’ve been into this documentary style of photography for a while now and Jason Orton in my opinion is doing it really, really well.
