Street Photography and Mushrooms.

South Australian photographer, Steve Axford, a specialist in the photography of fungi and mushrooms has added a gallery of his mushroom photographs to the guest galleries at www.pissedpoet.com.

“The abstract qualities that Steve brings to his work just blew me away,” Bateman said. “When he agreed to join the site, I jumped at his offer even though his subject matter is miles away from traditional street photography,” he added.

Axford’s photographs are the latest addition to a growing band of photographers who display their work in themed galleries at www.pissedpoet.com.

Joe Mortelliti a Victorian photographer, who a few months ago had a squabble with the Geelong police over photographer’s rights that eventually involved the State Premier, has a gallery of sunsets on display at the site.

“When Henry asked me to select sunsets, after looking at my site, I was surprised. It was fine, but I don’t go out looking for sunset shots, I thought, I don't have many sunsets, but sure enough I had taken more over time than I had realized,” Mortelliti said.

They join English black and white street photographer, Terri Dow, with her images of Canterbury, Peter Hammer with his colour street photography of Melbourne. David Boehm, a Sydney based photographer has a gallery of faces caught in the streets of that harbour city. And, Anne O’Connor’s gallery, Southern Impressions, brings an abstract rendering to the scenery of Tasmania.

All of these galleries are viewable on line at www.pissedpoet.com.

About pissedpoet.com
Pissedpoet.com is an online gallery of street and abstract photography. Arranged in themed galleries it displays the work of critically acclaimed artist/photographer Henry Bateman as well as the work of half a dozen other photographers from around the world.
“Street photography is a photographic style rather than a location,” Bateman said. “At its best it is the abstract quality of the photograph rather than the documentary aspect that gives the image its power,” he added.
