Hi Geoff,

Very interesting shoot! Actually it reminded me of a section of back alleys 
here in Victoria painted in similar fashion.

Maybe I could do something with it now you've given me the urge to get
out and try some real picture taking instead of flowers around here as
they bloom, go through life and die!



Shooting all these easy to get at flowers around the garden and back
deck are almost making me feel like Edward Steichen during his final
years, shooting a series on a tree in his backyard because it was the
only subject he could get close to.? However,? the graffiti street
paintings would be an interesting and easy location as many tourists
check it out!



But your series is an excellent shoot, particularly the bike jump as
I'm sure it must have passed quickly through your mind.... "If he lands
on the photographer it'll be a great shot!" Now we may think that way
and be ready for it, but that doesn't mean we want anyone to be hurt in
the crash and burn......... just a really great photograph! :-)

But you have to think of this kind of situation because if you don't
and it happens you will be completely ripped at yourself for missing
the photograph. Just like a good Boy Scout... "Be prepared!"

cheers,

ted
