Aromas coffee shop, Elizabeth St

Our civilisation has everything it needs it seems in terms of function and convenience (hate that word). Style is the new coal-face. The thrust of development.

Watching cars come and go from the Hilton. Low predatory crawl of fat tyres and heraldic hubs - even a taxi has them.

the way a car moves, corners, enters the traffic - it has as much to do with style as has clothing, or choice of coffee for that matter (long strong black for me).

Thank God I saw an ordinary yellow cab with cross-ply tyres and no hubcaps.

The common man.

I wonder of he has a set-top box?

i would love to borrow your scanner some time - i was just pondering how i could facilitate digitalisation of my poor little film images. but they are so much more INTERESTING than pixels. more risk, more strange light, more fun. ohh... there is a camera store in the valley selling off really cheap agfa film at the moment.

we must make coffee-camera-photo-sharetime.

the one of nikhi is really interesting. i would like to draw it very much.
