I don't know why but purple has never ranked amongst my favourite colours. It has always made me kind of uncomfortable. I feel like its a fake colour, not a real colour, a creepy colour. Weird. No other colour makes me feel that way. Most other colours make me happy. Even a really good off-white can evoke a nice emotion. Purple - nothing. I did have a purple cardigan once that I really liked. It came from Sussans and I got it when I was about 13. I really liked it. But that is my only strong fond memory of anything purple. Oh, I did go through a stage of being into crystals (also when I was a teenager) and I really liked amethyst, so I guess that counts too.
Top photo is the old wall at Ezra Pound, its been painted over now. Bottom photo is a wall I came across in Bayswater. I like the combination of all the colours together in these two walls.

Hello. Here's a few sneakers from the Sneaker Swapmeet on Sat. I don't know anything about sneakers! This was apparent when all the people with their stalls were telling me which ones I should be taking pictures of, i.e. not the most colourful ones but these special ones, imported from somewhere, designed by someone... It was all in the tiny courtyard of a shop. A good way to buy and sell sneakers I guess!

This is the last from the interior of the new State Theatre Centre that I took last week. My comments that it did not appear to be constructed with quite the degree of finesse you would expect for $9.1m provoked some interesting discussion amongst people I know, the general consensus being that things are just not built to last these days - furniture, clothes, appliances, buildings. It seems to be the way of the world now. Short term impact and affordability, over considered execution and durability. This building definitely has impact. My brain was actually quite overloaded will all the awesome things to look at, but I think I just felt a bit disappointed by it because I had stood up for it when others dissed it. I wanted it to be totally perfect, and the fact I was a bit let down by its imperfections revealed more about me than it probably. Perfectionist? Err... maybe. Anyway, time will tell how well it was built, so we'll just have to wait and see!
