g'day for a walkabout



am still sunburnt from this trip - mainly because i spent most of my time just walking around (the sun was almost always out) - and eating, basically following marco's restaurant recommendations. i didn't get to try the food from this (supposedly) historic pie stall. am just showing it here because it looks pretty.

fratelli's fresh waitress



 © Joselito Briones

smiling me: "a table for one, please"
smiling waitress: "oh, sure, anywhere you like"
me: (scans the room for the best table and sits myself)
a different, unsmiling, waitress: "i'm sorry but i'll need to tidy up this table, can you please sit somewhere else?"
still smiling me: (having spent some precious holiday time choosing the table i was sitting in) "it's ok, i can wait"
still unsmiling waitress: "but it needs to be cleaned"
unsmiling me: "and you don't want to do it?"
unsmiling cranky waitress: "please move to another table"
hungry me: (spends another precious holiday time and chooses another table to move to)
eating me (after some time): (spies the earlier table, still untidied, being occupied by two women, no fuss)

verdict: AVOID. food was good but as it's really difficult to get bad food in sydney, service counts a lot.

here's the plan...

© Joselito Briones

this is one of the photos i took more than a year ago in new york - with mae and carol's granny.  when i did the shoot i was planning on putting them up as RM stocks, but now i think there's plenty of them in the series that it's quite a waste trimming them down to 3 or 4, so maybe they'll end up RF after all.

i'm just starting to pick up interest in taking photos again, but meanwhile i have all this photos just gathering dust in my hard drive so now i just plan to unload all of them.
