The new stage area in the mall is finally open! Yesterday, it was still fenced off. Today it hosted a free concert featuring Elf and Mrs. Claus, also known as Shandelle McGennisken and Andy Pobjoy. Santa and the magic meter elves joined in.

It was low key but fun. I loved seeing the elves interacts with the kids that were there; it was very family friendly. Also noticed the cop that made a brief visit.

It will be interesting to see how the community responds to the improvements.

Extinction Rebellion: Global Discobedience For Climate

On Friday, Extinction Rebellion protestors gathered  in Central Geelongas part of their ‘Civil DISCObedience’ event. There was less than 20 protestors who danced their way through Geelong, stopping at the main intersections along both Malop and Moorabool Streets to disrupt traffic with their disco moves.

I try to detach from the subjects I am photographing, but I felt like this event was misguided and can actually take attention away from the core climate change issues. I wouldn’t have had any idea about Extinction Rebellion or any actions I should take unless I had researched the event previously and gotten there early. I expanded on this in the comment section of the Addy article covering the event.
