Friday, time for my weekly treat of lunch at Cinque Lire, the tables are all full, there’s one large table with only one occupant. I join him and give an involuntary laugh at the bottle of San Pelligrino water — the juxtaposition of that big concrete bottling plant in the pristine valley still make me laugh. We lunch and chat, John N. Crossley, a lecturer in the Faculty of Information Technology and Monash staff member since 1969! But more importantly, an interesting conversation partner and, as I was to discover, an excellent photographer. The joy of eating by yourself, chance meetings with others who you wouldn’t ordinarily get to talk to.
The chance meeting ended with a mention of the photographic exhibition upstairs, “Composition & Context,” I’d seen the exhibition advertised earlier and meant to go, but as with so many things, would probably have let it pass me by.
Photos from all around the world, the perks of being a senior lecturer! Reminders of some places I’ve visited, insights into other places I might one day get to see…
