Another postcard-y view of Ottawa, a city which really is
far too pretty for its own good. It's like meeting someone
who looks so nice in their party dress that you forget to
wonder what they're like without it.

True Confessions: This is a straight rip-off of a photo I had seen
earlier in the day at a souvenir stand on Park Avenue near the Metropolitan
Museum. The competitor in me just had to know whether I could do it too.
In fairness, there are only one or two good angles from which to photograph
the Flatiron building. And besides, now I have an image to which <em>I</em>
hold the copyright.

There's something about the wedge that this building cuts out of the
suddenly open New York skyline. A client with whom I was meeting remarked
that the lines described by 5th avenue and Broadway split the city into
sections. The Flatiron building sits at the narrow point of transection,
and demarcates uptown from downtown, East side from West.

The Pousada is the premier hotel in Baucau, Timor-Leste. It's also where the Indonesian security and intelligence people stayed when they were in town. The building behind it is notorious, widely known to be the place where many Timorese were tortured and killed.

On a quiet Saturday afternoon, I spent a few minutes snapping photos of
pigeons on a wire. The children of a passing family loudly wondered what
I was looking at, but their parents hurried them along with terse whispers.

This is a bit of an <em>homage</em> to Monet's studies of the cathedral
at Rouen, paintings which taught me as much about light as 5 years of
technical theatre work.

A view from across the street. Tabu stone, pig's tooth, statue and parliament - pretty every kind of symbolism at once.

Two members of the family who kept an impromptu roadside store under a tarpaulin down the road from my hotel. They slept on the pavement and amid the stock to protect their investment.

'The Road To Perfection Just Got Shorter' proclaimed a billboard
near my home in Ottawa. Immediately on seeing it, I realised they'd
made a typographical error.
