Collingwood, where old and new facades collide — painted brick walls layered with history stand against the sharp lines of contemporary glass. A streetscape that tells the story of change while holding onto character. From my Hidden North exhibition series exploring the overlooked beauty of Melbourne’s inner north. #HiddenNorth #Collingwood #UrbanContrast #MelbourneArt #Facade #urbanphotography #melbournearchitecture #melbournephotography #architecture #archdaily #buildings #printsforsale #archilover

Spotted in Collingwood: a classic Melbourne thirst-quencher etched onto the brick. This iconic Victoria Bitter ghost sign always brings a bit of nostalgia. What’s your favourite vintage Melbourne ad? #Collingwood #VictoriaBitter #GhostSign #Me
