This design was created for Orana Credit Union. Many years later, I still think it’s a beautifully elegant layout, with the vertically and horizontally opposed icons for primary navigation. The bottom ones are all verb enablers, leading to functions, whereas those on the top are for informational division
The entire design scales to any browser size, and the yellow space on the home page was an adjustable post-it note space for quick news pieces etc. It’s a frames based site, which I wouldn’t do these days, but given when the design was done, that was the sanest technology choice.
When it comes to panoramas, this is my masterwork so far.
The other end of the Enmore tunnel, it’s a pair of staircases, perpendicular to the tunnel itself, and is the very reason I got into panoramic imagery – to hunt down these filthy run down inner city locations, and find the beauty of their geometry. I’m going to get back into it in a big way in the near future hopefully.
This tunnel is one of the great and interesting locations of Enmore. Said to be haunted (suuuure) it’s almost certainly had its share of muggings and unpleasantness over the years. It’s such an obvious ambush location you can’t help but feel trepidation as you walk through it.
At one stage it was filled with graffiti, really good graffiti that must have been decades old, well before the artless tagging style that arose in the 90s. Much of it actually brushwork. The council in their wisdom decided to destroy that particular bit of local history and repaint it all with a fresh coat of yellow. In the 7 or so years since it’s filled with grafiti again, but it’s all spraycan tagging crap.
This is an early attempt at a high dynamic range image. It’s a bit difficult to make out, but the location of the image is in the back of a very tight corner at one edge of the graveyard.
See all those headstones against the wall. Oh yes “You son of a bitch. You moved the cemetery, but you left the bodies, didn’t you? You son of a bitch, you left the bodies and you only moved the head stones. You only moved the head stones. Why? Why?”.
