365 project Day 029...

The Coca-Cola sign is located above the intersection of William Street and Darlinghurst Road and is attached to the Millennium, formerly the Kingsgate Hotel. The sign is often referred to as The Gateway to the Cross, because it is prominently visible from all of William Street, which is the principal road leading to Kings Cross from the Sydney CBD: also, one must pass directly in front of the sign when entering Kings Cross from either William Street or Darlinghurst Road, the two main access roads. The billboard is made up of two parts: on the right, the famous red and white neon sign, and on the left the more modern, flex-faced sign. In total the sign is 41 metres in length and 13 metres in height, with the right sign being slightly larger at 21 metres in length.

The red and white neon sign is made up of eighty-eight vertical bars of red tubing. It also has 800 fluorescent lamps that are concealed behind reflectors that allow the billboard to project thirteen different patterns. The left part of the billboard is a flex-face style sign and is internally illuminated by approximately 1,000 fluorescent lamps. On 18 April 2008 Coca-Cola Amatil (CCA, the Australian Coca-Cola licensee) purchased the iconic sign. The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) had leased the sign since it was built in 1976. CCA and TCCC agreed to maintain the then-existing leasing arrangements

Orange is the happiest color.”

365 project Day 027... exciting

Strangers are exciting, their mystery never ends. But, there's nothing like looking at your own history in the faces of your friends.
Ani DiFranco

Sitting on the train at Circular Quay looking through the rain speckled window the lines caught my attention but the people made it interesting

365 project 2013 Day 026 - icon

It feels like the heart of Australia when you walk around its base and within the great rooms. Such a powerfully creative world icon. - Alex Toohey

365 project 2013 Day 025... bark

As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree,' probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on.
Woody Allen

365 project 2013 Day 023... fantastic journey

“Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home.”
― Anna Quindlen, How Reading Changed My Life

365 Project 2013 Day 022... tamed

Our eye must constantly measure, evaluate. We alter our perspective by a slight bending of the knees; we convey the chance meeting of lines by a simple shifting of our heads a thousandth of an inch…. We compose almost at the same time we press the shutter, and in placing the camera closer or farther from the subject, we shape the details – taming or being tamed by them. - Henri Cartier-Bresson - on composition. "American Photo",

Keep it simple. - Alfred Eisenstaedt

365 project 2013 Day 020... board game

Life is a board game, and you hold the dice in your hand, controlling the next move. You decide where you go with your life. Wherever you may end up, may the odds be in your favor.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

365 project 2013 Day 018... tell them

Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. You must never miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you.

365 project 2013 Day 017... mixed

The colours of light look best when mixed with darkness. - Steve Coleman

365 project 2013 Day 016... camera

As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs.
Sam Abell

365 project 2013 Day 0015... start

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
Francis of Assisi

365 project 2013 Day 0014... laugh

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.
Audrey Hepburn

365 project 2013 Day 013.... light

It is light that reveals, light that obscures, light that communicates. It is light I "listen" to. The light late in the day has a distinct quality, as it fades toward the darkness of evening. After sunset there is a gentle leaving of the light, the air begins to still, and a quiet descends. I see magic in the quiet light of dusk. I feel quite, yet intense energy in the natural elements of our habitat. A sense of magic prevails. A sense of mystery. It is a time for contemplation, for listening - a time for making photographs. - John Sexton

If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.
Lewis Carroll

365 project 2013 Day 010... consequences

A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching.
Sivananda

365 project 2013 Day 008... angels breath

The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be? - it is the same the angels breathe.

Mark Twain, "Roughing It" 

365 project 2013 Day 007... connected

We're both looking at the same moon, in the same world. We're connected to reality by the same line. All I have to do is quietly draw it towards me.”

― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

First and foremost, make it an obvious picture of color! Rather than looking for rocks, leaves, trees, waterfalls, birds, flowers, fire hydrants, starfish, boats, orchards, or bridges, focus your energy and vision on red, blue, yellow, orange, green, or violet. Color first, content second! - Bryan Peterson

Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
