Kerbside Creative Collection!

[chamellieon]

Last weekend, I commenced a project that I had had floating around in my mind.
I collaborated with Allan and Clubmanmc.

The ability to laugh at oneself, despite whatever is happening around them, is the true mark of a comedian. This theory very much applied today when we decided to act upon a really silly idea I had a few weeks ago, while driving past many piles of peoples' junk they're throwing out.

Hit up the suburbs on the list for the weekend, they're all in the generally-same area, so that wasn't too hard. Drive by. Look. Observe. Thinking caps ON. Go in, get the shots, out quick. The aim was to be as funny/hilarious as possible, making something out of these peoples junk. Setup a scene if possible, else, do something in it....It wasn't about photographic technical brilliance. (and this is the reason why I post it here)

These are the results of that project:

But as a general image teaser for you:


Photos removed. Do NOT post photos on Ausphotography that you do not own copyright to. These photos had another members copyright watermark and EXIF on them. This breaches site rules : Rick

That is absolutely brilliant!
The fact that you got Allan and Michael involved I was half expecting the style of images you got. They certainly are a pair!

What a great series and a very good idea...I like it and had a laugh.

What a fun day out!

fun photos, but technically not that good - too out of focus with massive white balance shifts.

Now these I enjoyed!!!! What a crack up and I just love that you all have a wicked sense of humour!!!! Its amazing what people throw out and its even more amazing how cool they can make as props!!! Here's hoping you do something along the same lines again :th3::th3:

I must say that is a brialliant idea and the photos are even better! Really well done. Love the poses for each of the photos for the respective pieces of garbage.

thanks everyone!
I know the technicality is really down, but I had so much fun doing it, it really doesn't matter that much to me if they weren't spot on

Loved this project, what fun you must of had, yes I think another person with video camera is a must for episode 2...:th3:

haha, crazy mad fools!!

[Ben]

Very creative, wonder what the neighbours thought? :p

Mel, Allan and Michael, this is brilliant, a very creative vision and imagination. You should make a photobook of it. If you do it on Blurb it can go in their shop - who knows, you might sell some!

[Terri]

Haha! That's just brilliant! ... and you do have to wonder about those "Evidence, Do Not Touch" flags :eek:
