Stunning Snaps in the Snow
Jeremy has sent through a "best of" collection of photos from his time in Mount Buller this winter, and there are some beauties. We haven't seen too much in terms of fast action from Jeremy's camera in the past, but these skiiers and boarders show us how the backside-air-reverse-flip showtime is delivered, Oz style, and Jeremy captures it all magnificently.
Incidentally, Jeremy is exhibiting some of his work at Photophilia, an exhibition "for lovers of photography" that showcases the works of some of Melbourne's most promising artists in both colour and black and white photography. The exhibition is on at:
Collingwood GalleryThe gallery is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 11am to 7pm, so if you live in Melbourne, go and have a look!

Humour from the Hambone
Hammy has made his first submission with some snaps from his globetrotting that made him chuckle. Whilst not the most arty of shots in the traditional sense, I think you'll agree he has perfected the artform of finding innuendo on the streets of every city that he visited...
24 Minute Parking - Reno, Nevada - must have quick appointments
Bad Shop - Dresden, Germany - they sell baths
Chinese Restaurant - Copenhagen, Denmark - no offence Coco, but it about sums it up
Danish Bike Lock - Copenhagen, Denmark - at least they didn't steal the bike
Fart hinder - Stockholm, Sweden - speed bump ahead sign
Hypo Bank - Vienna, Austria - service with sugar
Rambo's Pizza - Bronx, New York - even the pizza has attitude
Skum Land - Copenhagen, Denmark - they sell creamy products
Stop - outside Reno, Nevada - almost too much snow to see the sign which is of extra height
Suck - Malmo, Sweden - don't know what they sell but the Saab gives them away
Utfart - Stockholm, Sweden - means "way out" or "exit"
Willy Janke - Hamburg Hauptfriedhof - poor bastard given the name of "Willy Yanker" - what were his parents thinking?

100% Pose
|
Jeremy breaks the dry spell with some black and white portraits of a couple of posers. (Luke, it's always nice to put a face to a submission!) On that note, I will be adding a 'mugshots' page to opinios very soon. So if you have submitted something in the past and want your mug on display with other contributors, send me the headshot that you want used - it can be flattering, artistic, whatever. |

(Warning: if you don't send me anything I may have to resort to my personal collection, and you don't want that photo up there...)

Colours of Ikebukuro
| Kim captures some of the many contradictions in and around Ikebukuro in central Tokyo, and then gives them an old school colour touch-up. Stopsigns and sleaze mingle with lanterns in the breeze. Hey, I should be a poet. |

Harmony Day
Jeremy writes:
Whatever the occasion, it was a fun gathering of people from a wide range of cultures, gathered together in Federation Square (Melbourne) to sing and dance and produce music with drums and other instruments and enjoy the multicultural mix we have here in Australia. I also have a feeling that it's not just Australia that celebrates Harmony Day -- perhaps someone else may know something more about this interesting occasion?
Dancing Queens | Drumming It In
Apparently the theme for Harmony Day in Australia this year was "You + Me = Us". If anyone else made it to the festivities in Melbourne or other parts of Australia or the world, let us know!
Jeremy's black and whites certainly captured the festive atmosphere and produced some great portraits.
Took a few black and whites on the weekend, apparently I stumbled across celebrations in honour of Harmony Day, an event I knew nothing about until Saturday! Turns out it's an annual thing and appears to be celebrated annually, on or around March 21st.

In Love With New Zealand
|
Jeremy Pollard has submitted another round of photos, this time a selection of landscape shots from his travels to New Zealand. I swear if you look at the fisherman for long enough you can see him move; just a quick flick as he casts out another line while you're not watching... |

Vietnamese Vignettes
Simon writes:"I donft know exactly why these photos remind me so much of Vietnam, because the tranquility of the different scenes is in direct opposition to the hustle and bustle of daily life around the country. Perhaps it has something to do with the bicycles, which seem to belong to another era, when life was less complex. Then again, life is probably not that complex, it might just be me." |
