We are looking out to the middle distance at an oil refinery and its associated storage terminal. On the left is a spherical tank, presumably for natural gas, and at least six flat cylindrical tanks for storing oil and petroleum products. To the right are a series of steel towers, part of the refinery complex. The sky is swirling with a large cloud. The photo is edited so both the ground and sky are black. The edges of each object in the photo have been converted into bright lines; white for the tanks and steel towers, and a sort of latte-brown for the clouds.
Three Ooshies - that is, small rubber figurines - stand on a table. They are Gambit, C3PO, and Judy Hopes from Lilo and Stitch. Gambit and Judy are both gold. C3PO, ironically enough, is not.
A train is stopped on a suburban train platform on a rainy late afternoon
A woman on a dark-ish railway platform next to a train. She wears a purple beanie with studs and a black facemask
A woman sits on a mobility scooter at an outdoor suburban railway station. A Melbourne train pulls in behind her, wearing blue and yellow livery. She has on a royal blue hoodie, and a purple polo shirt and accessories, including a scarf knotted at her throat so that the ends hang over the large, bib-like triangle. She also wears a fuzzy beret with a pin of a snake slithering around cyclops skulls. On her face is a black facemask.
We are looking through an arch formed by two giant fibreglass cranes; birds with long necks. The birds are coloured white and gold, and hold their heads in the air with curved necks, their heads almost meeting. Beyond the arch we can see the urban centre of Footscray, an inner-western suburb of Melbourne. A multi-storey car park is on top of a marketplace, and a tram waits to turn into a nearby street. The photo is edited so the sky is dark and foreboding; rich blues and blacks swirl around clouds.
We look past a cyclone wire fence into the site of an oil refinery which is being commissioned. The cracker tower, or catalytic converter, is lying on its side after being toppled in a planned explosion just a couple of days before this photo was taken. There are still various buildings and chimneys of the refinery standing, and metal debris is scattered in front of it. A boiler stands next to where the cracker tower was, with wide pipes that used to connect to it rising from its top.
A long quotation from a Wall Street Journal article, reading "Chang has also taken to recording most of her first dates, usually with Granola. She puts her phone out on the table or her chair and then once the date is through, she has the feed automatically sent to Anthropic's Claude to report back on how she did. "Can I be more engaging and empathetic?" she says she might ask Claude. "What are the percentages of me talking versus them talking?"
We look through a cyclone fence at the site of an oil refinery that is being decommissioned. Lying on its side, we can see a crucial part of the refinery, the cracker, or catalytic converter. Nearby stands a boiler and pipes that once connected to it.
A white woman with reddish skin sits in a lounge chair. She is smiling. She wears a grey polo shirt, with yellow trimmings - a beret, a scarf close to her throat, and an earring that looks like a lemon slice. A streak of white hair among her browny locks peeps out of the front of the beret.
Our eyes are roughly level with the waist of a fat white woman. She is topless, and is looking down at us. A trail of mango juice runs down her chest between her breasts, and a little piece of the fruit is just above us. We can see the inside folds of her long breasts. The photo has been tinted so it emphasises warm golden browns and the rich orange-yellow of the mango.
A white woman with reddish skin smiles faintly. She has makeup on, including blue and pink eyeshadow, reddish-brown lip gloss and blush on her cheeks.
A breakfast of two pieces of light rye sourdough toast spread with soft creamy d'Argental Vacherousse cheese, a boiled egg cut into quarters and dressed with truffle salt, and a honey-flavoured latte.
Two women are next to each other in front of shops at night in an inner-urban suburb. One sits on a mobility scooter wearing a white shirt, pink scarf and pale blue beret with a pin of a galah on the front. Another leans down, smiling happily. She has dark hair well past her shoulders, bangs, and a smile. She is wearing a plaid dress.
We are looking at a breakfast of one plate and two cups. The light comes in from over our left shoulder, creating a picture that is half bright, half shadow. There is a small plate decorated with a crab picture, and on it are two pieces of rye sourdough. They are topped with slices of mushroom and boiled egg. Behind it to the right is a double-walled coffee glass filled with latte, and at the back of the picture is a wide glass of orange juice, two thirds of which is in shadow. The pieces of toast and the plate itself throw dark shadows across the scene too.
Hors d'ouevres including cornichons, olives, blue cheese and buratta

On top of a wooden bookshelf, in front of vinyl wall stickers designed to look like wooden bookshelves with leather-bound books, is a small collection of bric-a-brac. It includes a wide mantle clock in imitation dark wood, brass candlesticks, a stuffed model of Humphrey B Bear (a costumed character from Australian children's television), a Lego minifig wearing a triceratops costume, a Funko Pop of Cassian Andor, a small red Australian Rules football, and a narrow can of drink labelled "Gaza Cola", using a ribbon device that, although dynamic, cannot possibly be mistaken for that of any other cola company. The can is partly designed to look like the Palestinian flag, and red fists are raised. The whole photo has been edited to emphasise the warm reds and browns, and has an effect added to make it look like a daubed painting.
It's night. At least, it LOOKS like it. It's dark in front of us, but the sky beyond has a sort of pale light. Not from the sun but probably just light pollution. I'm sure it's nothing. Anyway, silhouetted against that sky, and just visible in front of the dark ground around us, is a big iron sculpture of a metal butterfly. It's taller than a human, maybe two metres or so. Its wings are spread out wide, with holes cut in the metal to mimic its markings. Long antennae, themselves at least a metre, snake out from the head and curve along the wingtops. Perhaps it's time to leave, and get home into the
We peer through a cyclone fence at some waste ground near a suburban street. Although the sky is still a bit light, the trees in the middle distance are half-obscured by mist.
A latte in a double-walled coffee glass. It has an inexpertly-drawn tulip drawn in milk foam, and sits on a cloth coaster shaped like a cappuccino cup.
A white woman with reddish skin smiles as she sits in a black armchair. She has a peach and pale blue scarf braided around her throat, and her hair is brushed over her forehead to the left side, revealing her white streak. Her left ear has an earring in the shape ofba blue hibiscus flower.
A bowl of stiry fried noodles. We can see bits of broccoli.
On the end of a human leg is a sneaker in the design of the trans flag - pale pink, pale blue and white stripes
A woman with dark hair and a black beret sits across from us at a kitchen bench. The bench is cluttered with dinner. Directly in front of us is a flat bowl with stewed apples, cream and pumpkin pie spice. The woman holds a similar bowl and lifts out a spoon loaded with her dessert.
On the photographer's kitchen bench is a slate cheese board with two types of cheddar cheese and a wedge of blue cheese. There is a bowl that looks like an olive that contains olives too, a bowl like a tomato containing cornichons, and an oblong plate with an unopened packet of water crackers. An almost empty bowl contains one olive pit.
A woman in a purple and yellow outfit, of a purple fuzzy beret and purple satin neckscarf, and a yellow polo shirt. She has purple eyeshadow and browny-red lip gloss.
A white woman with reddish skin stares tiredly into the camera. We see a close up of the centre of her upper body, and her face, which is lathered with shaving soap. Her narrow, hooded eyes are half-closed against the sun glaring at her from behind the camera. A dark shadow curves across the top of her forehead, obscuring her hair. She wears a royal blue top, with splotches of the shaving soap on it.
We look down, from a height of a few metres, at the sandy bottom of the sea almost next to the shore. Because it is low tide, the water is only a couple of inches deep, and we can clearly see the pattern of hundreds of small ripples in the beach floor, like hugely magnified dents and ridges on the surface of a human finger. We can also see water rippling, but its waves are futher apart and much less intricate than the ones in the sand.
A woman sits in a lounge chair. She wears a bright pink scarf knotted around her throat, inside her black longsleeve top. She wears a pale blue beret, and sunglasses of a matching colour with eyepieces shaped like love hearts. She also has a blue hibiscus earring in her left ear.
The theatrical poster for the film Training Day. Pope Leo's head is badly superimposed over Denzel Washington's, and the word "Training" is replaced with "Schism"
A woman sits on a mobility scooter in an almost-empty train carriage. She wears the trans girl uniform of white polo shirt, pink scarf loosely-knotted like a necktie, and pale blue beret. She smiles, and even though she has a black facemask on, it reaches her eyes.
A white woman is in the middle of shaving her face. Her reddish skin has shaving cream covering her cheeks, chin , temples and under her nose. She holds up one hand to show off her purple nail polish.
On the photographer's kitchen bench is a crockery plate decorated in Moroccan-style patterns. On the plate are four halves of English muffins. Unusually, these muffins are made in a brioche style. Each muffin is spread with apricot jam and butter. Next to the plate we can see a double-walled coffee glass filled with latte. The entire picture is black and white except for the apricot jam.
A woman sits in an armchair. Her lavender polo shirt contrasts nicely with her bright yellow satin scarf, and her woolen yellow beret. She cradles a plushie of an Australian bluetounge lizard, who is licking her face.
Nothing in this picture is obvious. But a large theatre scrim has been lowered into a performance space. On the vertical blank scrim, a picture of outlandishly dressed people standing outdoors in sparkly long jackets and dresses has bee n projected. A double shadow of a fat woman sitting on a large mobility scooter is also projected; this was clearly unplanned by the lighting designers. The scrim is semi-transparent, and through it, behind two of the people we can see bright lights aparkling through, as though hung on deformed Christmas trees
A small purple can of Hello Kitty-branded grape body mist
A woman smiles as she wears a black top, red beret and red scarf. She has dark rich purple lipstick on.
On an urban wall made of red bricks, a piece of graffiti art has been painted. It shows a dog walking like a human, wearing a yellow overcoat and fedora. The dog holds his coat open with both hands, in the manner of a black marketeer in a 1940s movie, or the dodgy letter and number dealer from Sesame Street. Inside the coat six bones and four tennis balls are attached with fabric strips. The dog says "I got what you need dawg" to his customers. Someone has added a watch later in felt pen to the inside of the overcoat, with the words "Is that a real Seiko?".
Just a couple of metres off the shore of a local beach, a Pacific Gull grips something with its beak, to pull it out of the water. It looks as though it might be a fish head for breakfast. The Gull is in a group of other, smaller Silver Gulls, the generic "seagull" in Australia. The Pacific Gull is maybe twice the size of the other gulls, but they look undisturbed at having to share their space with a bigger cousin.
A woman in a purple polo shirt, yellow scarf and yellow beret. She is smiling. Her face is made up.
The infamous photo of Cherie and Tony Blair from a Christmas card they sent, described at the time as looking like Cherie was holding Tony back from attacking someone at the pub
Arepas (disc shaped, slightly sweet cheesy fried bread from South America) with chorizo and guacamole
It's a dark, wet, drizzly, overcast and cold night. Typical Melbourne winter; in fact it is the night before the winter solstice. We are at Grazeland, a sort of outdoor semi-permanent food court or street festival selling a wide range of simple food from various cultures. We cannot, however, see any of the stalls; instead we look out past a damp outdoor seating area with furled red umbrellas standing among light patio furniture. The bright red of the outdoor furniture stands out vividly against the large bridge in the background; it is the West Gate Bridge, connecting metropolitan Melbourne across the Yarra River. In the distance we can see the bright lights of the central business district, and we can make out the silhouette of a huge power pylon carrying electricity along the river to the docks and industrial zones of the city. on top of one of the poles holding up the bridge, we can see the Australian Aboriginal flag, divided into halves with a black top, a deep red bottom and a yellow sun in the middle
A white woman in dark clothes and a purple beret and scarf lifts a forkful of mac and cheese from a cardboard tub. The cheese makes strings as she smiles
A woman smiles as she sits in a large lounge chair. She wears a dark blue polo shirt with a satin purple scarf knotted below her throar; the two ends hang down as though she were in Scout uniform. In her left ear is a big silvery hoop, and her hair is brushed over her head showing off a silver streak running from right to left, above her eye.
A woman sits on an outdoor island platform of a suburban railway station. She wears grey under black, and a bright yellow scarf knotted at her throat. Her beret is similarly yellow, with a "Trans Power" badge and a pin of the progress Pride flag, including the intersex awareness circle and brown and black stripes for non-white people. She also wears an earring in the shape of a half-slice of lemon, with a yellow rind and green flesh.
A shopping mall store with a bright yellow front and a sign saying Dick Smith Electronics over the door
A wooden serving board rests on an outdoor cafe table. On the board is a small, round double-handled pan filled with shakshuka, a dish made from eggs baked in a rich tomato sauce with feta cheese, chorizo pieces and white beans. Next to the pan are two pieces of Turkish-style bread, and two fat hash browns made in the shape of a rectangular bar
On the photographer's kitchen bench is a white, wide, flattish crockery bowl decorated with green and red tulips. In the bowl are slices of banana, and a pile of Greek-style yoghurt.
We are looking over the cold, rippled water of a small lake. A sacred ibis has just taken flight. Its white wings have just finished their downwards beat, and they surround the bird's body like a cowl.
On the photographer's kitchen bench is a blue, yellow and white crockery plate decorated with feathery and floral yet sharply geometric patterns. On the plate are two slices of rustic sourdough toast cut from a round loaf. On each piece are slices of raw mushroom and 3 pieces each of a sliced boiled egg. Next to the plate, on a cloth coaster shaped like a coffee cup, is a double-walled coffee glass filled with latte, with an awkward piece of art drawn on top.
A woman sits on a mobility scooter, on a footpath separated from a busy, multi-lane road by safety rails. She wears a red beret and red-orange scarf, and a big earring shaped like a strawberry. She has on a black top and sunglasses
We are standing above railway tracks passing either side of an abandoned, outdoor suburban train station. We can see the entrance to an underpass which has been blocked off leading from the platform. Towards us, a Victorian Railways K-class steam locomotive hauling E-type sitting carriages belches steam as it passes the platform. The locomotive is black with a coal carrier behind it, and the carriage we can see includes a guard's compartment and windows for the seating compartments. Behind a row of trees is the old Mobil Altona refinery, which is currently being decommissioned. The photo has been edited to look very cold and metallic, to match the chilly 11° C (51° F) weather.
We are looking at a stainless steel handrail on the edge of a pier. Six silver gulls, the most common seagull in Australia, are standing on the rail; one is preening its breast and another is investigating the rail with its beak. Another gull, slightly blurred, is taking off and is maybe a foot above the rail, its wings spread. In the distance we can see the end of the pier, and further away a cargo ship waits in Port Phillip Bay.
A woman sits across from is at a kitchen bench. She wears a black jacket and a pale mint green shirt. Near us is a plate with a fajita built from beef strips, tomato salsa, guacamole and a thin slice of brie cheese. In the middle of the table is s wooden cheeseboard with brie and blue cheese, a bowl of olives and a bowl of salsa.
A woman sits at a kitchen bench. Two cocktail glasses are filled with pannacotta, a milky pudding-like dessert. They each have four Pocky sticks and a lit sparkler in them
A woman sits on a mobility scooter on the asphalt platform of an outdoor suburban railway station. She looks up. We can see the smile in her eyes even though she wears a black face mask. She wears a pale yellow polo shirt, and a bright yellow satiny scarf knotted at her throat with a four-in-hand tie knot, that is the basic commonly-worn knot. She also wears a bright yellow beret with two badges on the front. It sits back on her head, and a white streak of hair, curved over her forehead, peeps out.
On a red and black crockery plate are two pieces of toasted sourdough, rustic-style bread. On top of each one are two slices of round ham.
In a round, flat bowl decorated with tulips is a breakfast of cooked cherry tomatoes and butter beans with a poached egg on top.
