These images I captured during my hosting of Phil Penman in August 2024, on behalf of Leica Akademie Australia, during his phenomenal two-day workshop. At the time, Tadao Ando’s MPavilion was set to be dismantled at the end of June 2025. However, due to its architectural significance and overwhelming public support, the City of Melbourne voted in June 2025 to extend its stay in Queen Victoria Gardens until 2030. Conceived initially as a five-month installation, the pavilion’s complex concrete structure made relocation difficult. Backed by Naomi Milgrom and several leading architects, the campaign to preserve it marked a rare shift from temporary to permanent. It stands as a tribute to architectural excellence in one of Melbourne’s most iconic green spaces. Tadao Ando said he was “honoured” by the city’s decision. The group photo captures some of the workshop participants with Phil. ‘Out of context’ - The last image is of Phil Penman captured at Federation Square during day two of the workshop. Why?… Just because I like it… Your thoughts? 🔴📷 Leica Q3 @PhilPenman @leica_akademie_aus @visitmelbourne @fed.square @parksvic @leica_camera_aus @leicacamera All images are original and non-AI-generated. #tadaoando #parksvic #visitmelbourne #LeicaQ3 #LeicaQ #LeicaQ2 #leica_camera_aus #yesleicacamera #leica #MinimalArchitecture #ConcretePoetry #ArchitecturalSilence #BrutalBeauty #FineArtArchitecture #AndoStyle #ArchitecturalInspiration #JapaneseArchitecture

That moment when you decide to get out of the train, just because you get a feeling something is there. It was not my stop. Thank you Berlin

A problem for future Phil! ( as a good friend once told me ) But it had to be done. I managed to buy mine just before they all were about to sell out within hours of release. I knew I wanted to buy one of these special editions to mark the 100 Year anniversary of leica. So many great memories from last week @leica_welt , Was honored to have been invited and I thank everyone at Leica for putting on what was an unforgettable experience. #leica #leica_camera
