This is my submission for the Canon Photo5 competition, using the crayon:

A girl aspires to become an angel. With a crayon she draws herself a pair of wings, but it’s futile for her wings are forever pinned to the bleak urban landscape that is her home.
I’m very excited about this photo. It’s one of those ideas that popped into my head, and all the way through, from organising to shooting, to the final result, everything pretty much ended up how I originally imagined it. Everything just went right!
Once I had my idea of a girl with angel wings drawn on a brick wall, I had to find my angel. If you’ve seen some of my previous shoots, you wouldn’t be surprised when I thought of Annie. I was thinking of the dress she wore in the “Gentleman Discovers a Doll” shoot, or something like it. When I asked her, Annie guessed what I was thinking, but alas had recently sold that dress. She was not worried though, as she thought this would be a great excuse to make a new outfit, especially for the shoot! Needless to say I was thrilled, and I think in the end, the outfit was perfect! Especially impressive was that she completed it in about a week!
I had a brick wall in mind from a previous shoot with Darren, though I was a little concerned that passing authorities might think we were vandalising the wall. Darren and Colin had a more appropriate wall near where they live, in an alley away from the public eye. They also generously offered their house as somewhere Annie could change, as well as assisting on the shoot with lights and ideas. They were also good bodyguards :)
They also helped us clean up afterwards :)
These are some of the other photos from the shoot that didn’t make the cut:

We paid a visit to Darren and Colin this evening to see their new house, after they have renovated it. It looks fantastic! I took a few photos around the place, a couple of which can be seen here. After dinner, Darren and I went outside to take some photos.

If you have seen Darren’s entry in the View From Below project, you’ll understand that I was keen for him to show me the location where he took his shot. Despite some flash problems I had, I enjoyed shooting in this wonderfully textured, dark, grungy location.

Naomi has a “beading retreat” this weekend, where she joins members of the Bead Society of Victoria for a weekend of crafting and socialising. When I dropped her off at the venue, Toorak College, Frankston campus, I took a little time to walk around the campus and take some photos.
