The first picture reminds me of the clown in ‘The Game’ with Michael Douglas and Sean Penn. Scarey! The 2nd picture looks like two poles doing a mating dance, lol!
ha,ha – amusement parks and clowns always give that sense of creepy, dont they, Adee? If I was a child I think the Luna Park entrance would see me running for the hills 🙂
Love the photos – especially the 2nd one, which has a real Australian feel to it (makes you want to go for a swim). I’ve always hated that creepy Luna Park face.
Thanks, Gabrielle – Luna Park is even more creepy when it’s lit up at night – makes you wonder whether the designer actually liked children.(Luna Park in MLB is also creepy)
It’s great that you had that reaction to the Bronte pic – I took it a few years ago, and the fact that someone had just left their thongs there while they went for a swim struck me as typical of the relaxed approach to life here, 😀
Great compositions. putting them together creates an interesting context. For me, the Bronte Beach shot is a bit sinister and ambiguous because it comes after the the Joker face and it is also in B & W . Well done work !
Thanks, elmediat. That’s an interesting point you make, about the second shot seeming sinister in the context of the first – I hadn’t seen that (saw each as a kind of antithesis of the other), but now I do – thanks for the insight 🙂
I can see your interpretation in terms of subjects. I think that if the second shot had some soft colour it would emphasize the contrast between the two images .
Did the NY Luna Park also have such a bizarre entrance? Luna Park in Sydney actually has a rather tragic history – seven people died in a fire there in 1979

Great contrasts. That first one shows just why so many people are afraid of clowns. Shudder!
Shudder, indeed, Tilly – thanks 🙂

Nice! … and I love black and white …
Thanks, Jamie – me too, particularly portraiture
Scary clown 😦
It is, Cin – very bizarre
I love the Bronte Beach shot. I would hang that on my wall. Do they still have the little kids train there? I haven’t been there for years.
The Luna Park face is a little unnerving. It creeps you out if you look at it for too long. I think it’s the eyes. But still, a fantastic shot!
Thanks, Selma 😀 I’m not sure if the little kids train there still; it’s not a part of Sydney I go to often.
Yes, you’re right about the eyes on the Luna Park face – hide the mouth and the eyes get creepier – thanks 🙂

Thanks for the constructive feedback, elmediat
We used to have a Luna Park in NY … This looks to be fun. Like the black-and-white.
