Piles

This page will be dedicated to photos of piles,a theme I've become a little obsessed and fascinated with.

I've become a bit obsessed with piles.... here are some shots illustrating my penchant. The first I published here a few weeks ago.... that started it all off, I've added to it since. All the B&W are taken on my iPhone using the app Hipstamatic (Blackey's supergrain film & John Innes lens) which I love the look of. The colour is taken on my DSLR. One might get the impression that I like my iPhone camera and apps more than my DSLR, but the thing is...my iPhone is always in my pocket or bag, and is therefore always to hand. Sometimes humping around the DSLR when just going out for lunch is too much. Therefore... more shots get taken on the iPhone.

Baskets in Guangzhou, near Chen Family academy

Not sure what these are but they are obviously something to do

with roadworks or construction. Love the contrast on this shot.

Macau.

Same roadworks, not sure why tyres were needed.

Went for a walk in HK whilst waiting for the visa office to open.

These next few shots are from a busy little market street.

Spinach or Chinese leaves, you choose

Shovels and Mattocks, Jinxingwan

scrap wood pile, jinxingwan

Firewood, always beautiful

like the stacking and the backdrop juxtaposition

love the contrast of the dark and light bricks

Steaming-trays for dumplings and dim-sum

a pile of used incense sticks

 How long did this take? a day? a week? a month?
