''Camera'' means room. For years I did photo wetwork in darkrooms; now we're dry & digital

New Year's Eve Fireworks in Sydney
Video taken from my rooftop here near St Vincent's hospital.
Google Video version

Midnight fireworks over Sydney harbour for New Year's Eve (2006/2007). Rather dark & blurry, I'm afraid, but I like the atmosphere. Seen from the roof of a block of units in Surry Hills, close to the party scene around Oxford Street and Taylor Square, and with lots of other blocks of flats around, nearly all with parties of people on their balconies. Taken with a Canon A80 (original size 320 x 240).

Good News on Restoration of Hilton Memorial

UPDATE 2008
Even better news, on the 30th Anniversary, 13th February, 2008, they restored the plaque to a stele or pillar back on the footpath. With all my changes and troubles this year I haven't been on that part of George St, so I only saw it in December 2008 while I was doing Christmas shopping, without a camera. I'll try to put up a picture of it.
