Open House Melbourne 2013 or: let me take a picture of that building with my phone I'll never look at again just to demonstrate I was there looking at that thing I took a picture of

Open House Melbourne has seen yet another rousing success with 2013. Here are some images I took on the Saturday. I could have spent much longer at many of these locations, but moving on and finding another open building is one of OHM's draws.

Cameras were particularly prevalent during the day. Although I had a camera in my hand virtually the entire time, I was either limiting myself to 36 exposures, or ensuring I was taking in whatever was in front of me. Some people seemingly only saw the day through their shitty LCD screens. Oh well.
