Trackside

I hardly ever use the train system in Wellington, but on the one occassion I did we spotted these trackside pieces by Covet and Ikon. Fast forward a few weeks and I went back and got some shots. I had taken alot of photos of this wall but lost them all when my laptop died a tragic death.

Non-graf related news.

We have all heard and/or seen what has happened to Samoa after the earthquake/tsunami that hit them last Wednesday. Kolektiv @ 103 Cuba Mall have launched a campaign 'Have a Heart, Do your part' to raise money and awareness for the victims and their families that were affected.

From Saturday 3 Oct til Friday 9th Oct Kolektiv will be donating a percentage of all profits towards Oxfam Tsunami relief appeal for the Pacific Islands.

During this time provide a Kolektiv proof of purchase to Plum Cafe and recieve a $3 Bowl coffee, of which all proceeds will be contributed to the effort.

Thanks to campaign organiser Cris W. And ups to Manky 166 for the posters!

Caught up with Heist & Horus while they painted this. You could smell the ironlak from the park across the road haha

Could this have been done by the church goers from the other side of this wall? Judging by the hand signals maybe not?!?!

Meanwhile... Somewhere on the otherside of the world...

The lovely Sarah went to Bristol City Museum (UK) to see Banksy's show thats on for the English summer.

She took near on 30 photos in total but I'll stagger them over 2 posts. Tried to make a slide show thingee but blogger didn't like it. Oopps.

Thank you Sarah!

I know I sound like a broken record but my laptop died AGAIN and had to be taken back. Its running perfectly now thank god so I'll post up some old photos from when I first started taking snaps.
