forums

Internet forums. You gotta love them. Somehow, no matter how nice the people, how much of a common interest they have, a forum will always end up in a flame war. Its just the way it is. People posting on there forget (or don’t care) that the recipients of their flaming, insults, anger and name calling are actual people too. You wouldn’t have that…

test post from email

When I can get my phone to send emails, I’ll be able to blog more often. Well, maybe not more often..maybe more spontaneously. What I really want to be able to do though is attach photos to a post or twitter from my phone, and I can’t seem to do that with my current phone.

Pay it forward

I’m member of a group on Flickr – Photographers in Perth aka PIP – one of the guys on there had a bright idea to do a little pay it forward thing where we all took photos of each other, more importantly, the the thing thats most important to us. Well, needless to say family, spouses, children and whathaveyou were the most popular, but…

Holga-tastic

Finally finished the first film in the Holga – the sun came out this afternoon and allowed me to rattle off the last couple of shots on random stuff.   Took another few shots on the way home too – I hope they’re going to come out like I think they might.  Guess we’ll have to wait and see – need to shoot a few…

peeved

its pouring with rain and really overcast today (in complete contrast to the amazing sunrise this morning – only had time to snap off a quick one with the phone) Am peeved cos I broght the Holga into work and was going to wander about taking photos.  Problem is, I only have 100 ISO film (for you non filmies – that means its really…

weddings

One of the things I really want to do is photograph a wedding.  Not just be a guest and point the camera at people and take nice pics kind of stuff, but actually shoot a wedding, either as an assistant/second shooter or as the main shooter and be in control of the precedings. I love weddings – they’re full of interesting people, all dressed…

trippy

I caved under shiny gadget pressure and bought a couple of restored Olympus Trip 35’s from the late 60’s, one red and one blue covered.  They should be here in a couple of weeks. 35mm film heaven. Oh yeah.

Jellyfish

We’ve had a few days of wind and woolly weather again here in Perth – 125kph (70+mph) winds and rain/hail/thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening  – well, not really, just very very wet. The house held up well – the front door has been leaking worse than ever as the new seal seems to trap the water and allow it to seep under the…

rain rain go away..

so much rain and so loud against the window last night – kept me awake for hours 😦  Meh. Really expected the hallway to be navigable depth this morning, but as “luck” would have it, the plaster seems to have soaked it all up. Not good at all. In other news, apparently, according to my dreams, you can get 120 and polaroid film developed…

excellent in parts

I just imported all the posts from my old blog over at blogger – WordPress did it so easily, one click and that was it done and in date order too. very cool, thanks WordPress 🙂 Its been pouring with rain all day today – absolute torrents of the stuff, lashing in from the sea. Now those trees are gone, I can see down…
