The Adelaide 'Alleyways and Side Streets' Project

@ The 2009 Adelaide Fringe

2009-01-27T20:34:00.002+10:30

Two years after its completion, the Alleyways and Side Streets Project is heading back to the City of Adelaide as part of the 2009 Adelaide Fringe Festival. Here's the details from the Fringe guide/website:

Alleyways and Side Streets Project
Adelaide’s alleyways and side streets aren’t just places to pass through but can themselves be destinations for closer inspection and reflection on urban life. Photographer Mark Bormann draws attention to these smaller places, inviting the viewer to take closer notice.
27 February – 22 March
FREE
- The Brunswick Hotel, 207 Gilbert Street, Adelaide
- #12 Café, 12 Halifax Street, Adelaide

As you can imagine, I'm very excited about getting this project off the web and onto the streets from which it originated. Looking forward to making the trip to Adelaide to see the exhibition and revisit some of my favourite streets.

I'll post updates as they occur.

The final batch of photos, New Years Day, 2007. I walked these final streets with a swollen foot, having stepped on a bee earlier that day. That's the lot...

Here's the first of the three batches of photos that were taken in a mighty effort to finish the Project before moving to Canberra. Now that I've got most aspects of my life back on track in my new city, I can get around to posting the rest of the photos.

Finished!

2007-01-02T01:07:00.000+10:30

I took the last of the photos today - the "Adelaide Alleyways and Sidestreets Project" is now complete!

Unfortunately, I won't be able to post any of the recent photos (all 83 of them) for at least 3 weeks. I've spent most of my time packing and preparing for Canberra and finishing the project, leaving very little time for posting. I'm not heading to Canberra until Wednesday night but my beloved iMac is getting packed into a box by the removalists tomorrow.

Having finished all of the photos for the Project, it's a bit of an anti-climax not being able to share them. Oh well...

Thank you for visiting, whether you've been a regular viewer, casual observer or accidental stumbler. See you in 3 weeks...

57 New Photos!

2006-12-31T00:19:00.000+10:30

I spent a fair bit of time today and on Thursday taking photos. As a result, I have 57 new photos to post. Yeah, I'm racing to the finish. All of the new photos are going to take a fair bit of time to post, so I'm going to finish the Project and then post the new photos when I get the chance. I'd rather spend my last few days making sure I take all of the photos. So, stay tuned - the end is almost near...

Update On "The Move"

2006-12-22T23:06:00.000+10:30

The latest lot of photos were taken on the 10th of December. Yeah, I've been slack. As soon as school finished for the year, I had to get started on the whole business of moving to Canberra. Luckily, removalists have been organised for us - they do all the packing, take our stuff to Canberra, keep it in storage and move it in to our new place. The only thing we had to do was get rid of all of the junk that we didn't want to take with us. I've had to sneak around the neighbourhood on bin night to get rid of all of our rubbish. Those wheelie bins are just too small.

I haven't mentioned the move date yet, have I? January 3rd. That doesn't leave much time for the Project. The last week has been taken up cleaning and preparing our flat for the end of lease inspection. We had that today and everything was fine, so I'll have a lot more time for photos, especially once Christmas is over and done with.

I should also mention that the flight to Canberra will be my first time on a plane. Sad but true...
