One of our favourite discoveries last year was the fantastic Chasing Ghosts blog. After having met the wonderful duo behind it at all, we asked if they’d like to put together a Top 10 of all their favourite images that they captured on their journies between Europe and  Melbourne this year – enjoy!

Our top 10 shots for 2011 incorporate the city where Chasing Ghosts began, some of the cities visited on the move back to Aus, and the city in the country where we now reside. 2011 has been a lot of travel for us and we are glad to be back …

(1) This Ben Eine commissioned piece was an iconic one on Old Street East London, and even more so for us because the last place we called home was right around the corner from it and we would have to pass it every day.

(2) This building in East London was a legendary venue for art and live music. Bought out by rich business men to build a garish hotel for other rich business men to stay at, this historic place was in limbo. On a bitterly cold day in London, Milo (a Brazilian artist) was spotted injecting some light and colour onto the back of the building, reminding us that a lot of beauty will soon be destroyed.

(3) This event was massive, the grand final Secret Wars between Amsterdam and Birmingham. This shot shows both teams racing against the clock, with one member from Amsterdam taking time out to admire the skills of the opposing team. Great night.

(4) View from the top. High up in the hills in Barcelona looking down at the city.

(5) Teufelsberg, Devils Mountain, Berlin. This structure is an abandoned listening post used by the US NSA during the cold war. High up on a hill made from the rubble of about 400,000 buildings that were destroyed in WWII, the views are amazing. Eerie, dirty and covered from head to toe in graff, this location is one of Chasing Ghosts favourite in the world.

(6) On our return to Aus we were invited to Perth to view the solo show of one of our favourite artists, Roa. This shot was the day after the show when he was painting a piece in the Midlands. Also an accidental Montana 94 advertisement.

(7) Almost finished product of the piece, we love this location and the sky that day was particularly beautiful.

(8) Sniders Lane Project was organised by the awesome girls of Just Another Agency and hosted by Sister Bella. This shot is of some of the artists of the Just Another Collective. We were more than happy to be a part of this day and documenting these artists in action.

(9) Our first ever War of the Walls event, this shot is the winning piece by the artist El Toasto. We love home grown talent and this event was a lot of fun.

(10) This pic was taken in an empty structure in Yarraville that we came across accidently. It’s been an exciting year for us and we are sure there will be way more to come in 2012. “
