This old coke can keeps coming back on me, so I took it back into lightroom and reworked it a little in black and white. Now I think it has a little more depth…maybe!! what do you think??

Vivien Maier – The Legend That Never Was
Hi All,
I was just checking through some interesting articles on Street Photography when I came across a piece in the MessyNessy blog about a lady photographer
from Chicago that died recently at the age of 83 years. She apparantly was very private and never shown her photographs to anyone outside her family. Luckily the negatives came up at an auction and were bought by an historical hobbyist, John Maloof. Well the results speak for themselves and the lady, Vivien Maier, is a street photography legend. You can find out more and check some of Vivien Maier’s great work on Messy Nessy’s blog
Vivien Maiers Photographs – The Legend That Never Was
There is now a fascinating documentary Finding Vivien Maier you can check out the official trailer on YouTube

Malaga – Mike Hope
Malaga Cove Plaza, Spanish Style brick and archway. Dates from the 1930’s. Taken with the Fuji X-20 walk around camera on Sunday May 5th. Just trying to get used to the Fuji. It is different from using the SLR and fun.
Red Door – Mike Hope – Avant Garde
Red Door reworked from a photo I took on Saturday with the new Fuji X-20. Post Avant Garde filters. It is the old Lou E Luey’s which is now closed. Would make a great bar-restaurant!! Any takers?
