Location! Location! Images that "float my boat".

TAKING A MOMENT TO SOAK UP THE SCENERY 

The UTAS School of Art is located at the Hobart Waterfront arguable one of the best locations of any Art School in Australia. The Hunter Street campus building is actually an old IXL Jam Factory Building. Before that it was an Island known, naturally enough as Hunter Island. I'll tell you more about the building later but this blog is about the surrounding waterfront. I've been snapping pictures of the waterfront for weeks now. It's a source of constant fascination for me. In the morning when I arrive here at Art School, every day when I look out the windows and every afternoon as I make my way home these are the sights I get to soak up.

...maybe one day I'll take some shots at this location with my Nikon D60... you gotta hand it to the iPhone and it's Aps for some very tasty images. 

A few Facebook friends have asked me to take some ugly shots so some time in the future. Perhaps when we are studying the "grotesque" I will get my head into an ugly zone and take some of the dark side of this location.
