Capture: Walk across the rooftops., in reply to Joe Wylie,
That great NZ photographer Murray Cammick. Would love to see those again.
Umm, yeah. They're his photos. ;-)

I recently went to Sydney for the first time since 1984. The Queen Victoria Building on a Sunday, with hardly anyone it, was a dream to photograph. It gave me a new found appreciation for interior/architectural photography.

Capture: Walk across the rooftops., in reply to Russell Brown,
It occurs to me that at some point inviting everyone to delve into their parents’ photo albums and scan and post some here would be fun and rewarding.
Don’t worry, this is in the works. I have photos of Kombi vans, parade floats and all manner of stuff to scan for a future post. Maybe a Christmassy thing? Jackie started it with her dad in the car, but I’m sure this is an idea that will take off.
If anyone is looking for a thematic guide for this one, it would be great to have people share any captures from their students days, or activities of a similar nature.
Nice that the opening one is carrying on. We’ll also be having a post on Flying Nun, Christchurch, Flash as 70s cars and Robyn’s opening post over the next week or so.
They came out really well. I need to get myself one of those things to tackle Mum’s drawer o’ negatives.
It’s an amazing process actually. For example, the bit at the end is entirely true, only neither of us realised it until I dug up the negatives last year and spotted her on the roof. Good times.

Did you develop these, or scan the negatives?
Not a stupid question at all. There are a number of ways this could be done.
In this case the film was hand processed, and then I scanned the negatives on my Epson Scanner, which has a negative doodacky on it. I actually scanned the whole strip at once, and then cut out each frame. Quite like the long version though, even with the disoriented ones in it.

Hard News: The Solemnity of the Day, in reply to Russell Brown,
It’s a breach if you post a Facebook status that reads “Woo! Everybody vote for Winston today!” It’s publishing.
It may be a breach, but would the EC really pursue an individual for, to use the phrase at hand, 'being a dick?'
And just in case they do, who's responsible in this event on a community of blogs? Just as a matter of interest. ;-)

Capture: Walk across the rooftops., in reply to Lilith __,
Was this overcrowding for a special event?
Actually, I'm less certain now. I mentioned Orientation week in the post, but it could be capping week. Memory fades.
“Poo wasn’t so dangerous in those days.”
In this instance I think we've probably come to our senses. But whether all externally imposed measures 'for your own personal safety' are as sensible, I'm not so sure.
As an aside, no humans were harmed in the taking of these photos.
Sofie, yes it is addictive, but don't let that stop you. Your 'frigging in the rigging' shot is excellent. ;-)

Righto, since you asked so nicely. Walk across the rooftops.
I think I’m suffering from some sort of early onset blogger-over-exuberance-syndrome. No doubt it will pass.
ETA: As a page of crowd sourced images, this one is pretty special. Joe, Hebe, Ian et al, great stuff.

Straitjacket Fits: So Long Marianne.
I concur.

Capture: Capture One, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
I couldn't resist
Why would you? We'll be running a competition... at some stage. Not sure what the theme will be, or the prize, or anything really. But whatever it is, this photo will be in it.
Right. Work.

Hope it's Ok with everyone that I post direct links to some crowd sourced photos on Twitter from time to time. Just sharing the goodness. Fooman along with Carol and Ian's collaboration took my fancy. So did everything else of course.
Lunch, then my day job. I'm getting a bit overwhelmed.
