Melbourne Laneway Art
Flinders Lane

---

I visited Melbourne for a medical conference 25 to 27 July, 2008. As soon as it ended, Cyndi and I headed out to photograph some of the fabulous street art for which Melbourne is developing a worldwide reputation. The Melbourne Laneway Commission combines the history of the city and art into one consumable, ephemeral experience. It examines the way that space and environment affects the artwork; artists pick their locations and materials. A positive result is that Melburnians who might not otherwise visit a gallery, get to experience art firsthand.
