I enjoyed getting into digital photography, starting with an Olympus camera that we bought in Las Vegas in 2000. It took photos at 1280×960 pixels and I got both an 8MB and a 16MB SD card for it.
Cameras came and went. There were was a superslim Casio Exilim EX-Z4, a Ricoh Caplio R4 with the big zoom, my beloved Canon 300D + 50mm prime, a Sony RX100, a Canon 650D that always disappointed. I took snaphots and sometimes I tried to take art, but there was always the issue of what to do with the photos once they’re taken. Sure I had a Flickr account but there had to be more.
So I came up with the idea of doing a public photo exhibition. But it wouldn’t just be open to the public in a room somewhere, rather I’d bring the exhibition to the people! I was already used to postering both officially and unofficially for music (Darkangel & Eros, Noir) gigs and political causes ([redacted]) so it was an obvious choice. My photos would be displayed on Wellington’s walls for all to see.
I chose the photos, organised sponsorship from a printing company towards the costs, and arranged for Sticky Fingers to post them up all over town. Here’s what they looked like in place:

And here’s all six of the posters:
