The Canberra Festival has been on for the last ten days or so. We've been out and about to see what's been going on.

I attended the Bicycle Roundup. Kinda disappointing as nothing was actually organised, just for everyone to meet at the chess square in civic. Then stand around. Needless to say we quickly retired to get beer.

The long weekend saw us roaming the town.

Enlighten Canberra is a part of the Canberra festival and one of the attractions is the art projected on some of the city's main attractions. Similar displays have taken place in other cities and Rach and I had seen it before in Adelaide. So we headed out to see Canberra's lights.

Once the sun had gone down the lights came on and the crazy people came out. There's a rare breed of photographer that must feel the need to photograph even the things that they are not interested in. We were able to witness numerous of these beasts in action, they went like this - arrive with camera on tripod, setup, frame shot, push shutter release, check LCD screen, repeat 20 times, leave. All this without once actually looking at the building with their very own eyes.

I had my D90 with me but lost all motivation to use it after witnessing this phenomenon. Instead I took B&W photographs. Silly, but I like some of them, and if I want to see them in colour I can just check out Flickr, I'm sure all the pics are up by now!

St Pats day happened to fall during the week so a few beverages were devoured.

And the last of last events was Skyfire. We were lucky enough to spend the evening at Candey and Mark's apartment, overlooking the poor people enduring the rain and wind. Again, a colourful event recorded in B&W, my sincerest apologies.

The party was memorable, apart from the fact that I can't remember what is on the film I am yet to develop. I love surprises. Anyway, here's a teaser I found at the end of the last roll.
