I know its been a long long time.

ROCKET MAN!

Sorry, Ok well this blog hasn't been updated in over a year now, the header image has been looking crappy for that long as well and yes, i am ashamed.
but I'm here on a positive note. I'm getting back into the blogging game. Ive just recently moved back home to Bobs Farm in the flat which Marius and I have renamed the Y Box. I am currently unemployed. We do not and will not have a television, we are quite a whiles away from everything that isn't bush and sand and I guess this means I'll have more time on my hands to do the important things. Like blog.

So its been an eventful time and I'm excited to re-live it with odd pictures and comments.

I hope you can all make it.

See you Soon..

Please, I urge you all to watch this film... An Inconvenient Truth By Al Gore.

Want to do something to help stop global warming?
Here are 10 simple things you can do and how much carbon dioxide you'll save by doing them.

1. CHANGE A LIGHT.
Replacing six regular light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs will save 400 kg of carbon dioxide a year.

2. DRIVE LESS.
Walk, bike, carpool or take public transport more often. Tou'll save 1.5kg of carbon dioxide for every 5km you don't drive!

3. RECYCLE MORE.
You can save 1000kg of carbon dioxide peryear by recycling just half of your household waste.

4. CHECK YOUR TYRES.
Keeping your tyres properly inflated can improve your car's fuel efficiency. Every litre of petrol saved keeps 2.5kg of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere!

5. USE LESS HOT WATER.
It takes a lot of energy to heat water - use less hot water by installing an energy efficient triple A rated showerhead (3 tonnes of carbon dioxide saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (225kg saved per year)

6. AVOID PRODUCTS WITH ALOT OF PACKAGING.
You can save 545kg of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%.

7. MOVE YOUR THERMOSTAT DOWN 2 DEGREES IN WINTER AND UP 2 DEGREES IN SUMMER.
You could save about 900kg of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment.

8. PLANT A TREE.
A single tree will absorb one tonne of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.

9. TURN OFF ELECTRIC DEVICES.
Simply turning off your television, DVD player, stereo and computer when you're not using them will save you thousands of kilograms of carbon dioxide a year.

10. BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION.

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

im bored... really bored...
Ive been working heaps which keeps me occupied, but its the inbetween bits... sure i do what i need to do, or i dont do it. but after that, before work or before bed im bored shitless... nothing exciting is happening... I HAVE NOTHING TO THINK ABOUT!!! ive read soooo much that i think too much and it scares me so i stop. and then... nothing!
Television sucks... it makes me feel dumb... or maybe when i watch it i just realise i am.
I think my soul (or whatever it is, i prefer to call it my 'ness') is slowly leaving my body but its almost as if its only right next to me the whole time... we're handcuffed. me and my ness.
AHHH! someone give me something exciting to work on!!!!!

HEEEYA! Im leaving the U S of A in two days and I was kinda worried that it wasn't going to snow before I left, But on whilst we were skiing on artificial snow yesterday, it started bucketing down. This morning I awoke to at least a feet of snow and its one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen... I took alot of film pics, and I can't wait to see them developed. Wish you here now.

This was taken in the middle of a construction site in Washington D.C. Tell me if you also like this tree.
I think if they cut it down they will set free a smoke eating, rainforest killing monster.

They have arrived...

2006-02-04T10:01:00.000-12:00

OK, so we're on our way... Two of the cameras Adrian and I ordered on ebay arrived today, and they're both splendid, exactly what we were after. The first was a 1967 polaroid camera that needed alot of work before we could plonk in ontop of the scanner, Dad shaved of about a third of its wieght with bits and pieces that we didn't need and jammed open the shutter with a toothpick, I dont think it can be restored to its original state now though, but who gives a shit, I'd say it would be a teeny hassle to get the right film for it anyways.
SO above is the polaroid on a strip of black foamy stuff to stop the camera from scratching the scanner (This is the setup used to take the following photos).
The other camera we got is an el enchanto kodak. Its pretty cool, when we get a chance to muck around with it I shall post some more examples. This is exciting!

warping

2006-02-04T09:33:00.000-12:00

This is three different pictures taken with the scanner camera, no modifications have been made to the scanner yet untill we get ours delivered. After mucking about with focus and lighting, we eventually got a standard from this camera, and have started to notice some warping. The middle picture above is one where Sally hasnt quite stayed still whilst being captured so her cheeks and chin buldged out a bit. After noticing this we did some tests, the left most picture was taken whilst she slightly moved along with the sensor, which shortend her, and the right photo she moved against the sensor, which widend her. But as you can see, it works much better with a lens compared to our earlier pin-hole shoebox technique.

you know what im sayin!

2006-02-03T05:27:00.000-12:00

Yey! this was taken in Target - Alexandria VA. I was so excited to see her (Kirsten Ulve) work up! had to take a picture... Luv it!

ScannerCamera FIRST TRY!

2006-01-27T18:01:00.000-12:00

Ok! Incase anyone is wondering what the hell this is, its a photo of me with Adrian and Jacky's first attempt at making a scanner camera. So what you see above is a shoebox with a pinhole sitting on a basic flatbed scanner, and this is just the beggining... Alot of adjustments need to be made but I'll go into detail later... for now just you all get as excited as I am.

A blog well done...

2006-01-26T20:00:00.000-12:00

Ok well, I just wanted to put a post up to say that this blog is approx. 1 year old! which is exciting!!! thanks to all of you that have been dropping in! To mark this occasion I maded a vector for you all, seeings as this also marks one year since I started making them! CHEERS!

Im in america again now, Its just as I remembered. The airport gave it away with a slight smell of bacon, cheese and wet chalk. I could just say its hard to describe, but I thoughtd I'd give it a shot anyways. Its good to see Mum, Dad and Adrian. Im excited because Adrian and I are going to go shopping at some point to buy some materials to make a scannner camera, which I'm thinking could be a great medium for my photomedia class this year. If you want to check out some cool examples go here.
So I spent the last week before coming here in Melbourne, Marius is pretty good for all those concerned, I can't wait to move there! It's such a beautiful city and talk about awsome food! I could spend a couple of years exploring every little awsome cafe or club hidden away somewhere. So yeah had a lot of fun, went out a fair bit, did some shopping and alot of social interactivity. Anyways lots of stories to tell but I must go...

If any of you are out there looking for a digital camera and you came across the canon ixus 50. you though wow what an awsome camera for an awsome price, but unfortunatley no one has them in stock, i'll give you the reason... all the folks at the camera stores are buying them all... i think i saw 5 of them at our work christmas party... it made me love my little blue nikon even more when everyones cameras got muddled up! I feel kind of sorry for anyone who happens to be in the same restaurant when we go out... the amount of flashes would surely be the likley scenario for anyone to fall into an epileptic fit.

2005-10-30T19:19:00.000-12:00

Well well well, fancy seeing you here... you arrived earlier than i expected... Ive got a fish cooking in the oven... It's right at the back.
Ive had a crazy hectic woopee last couple of weeks!!! Firstly i think the most exciting thing on the agenda is the fact that on the 22nd of october i went with a bunch of great people (that is jonno, Stu, Jared and Anne) to Luna Park to see The Eels with strings... typed words couldn't express my on going excitment. Mr. E has probably been the coolest person Ive seen perform live... (And thats up there with Jay from Jamiroquai!) he was up there with his hat, walking cane, cigar (which was then later used to conduct the strings) and glass of scotch (heres hoping) and wow... sorry i just cannot put it into words. the percussionist was fantasmagorical!!! he play a saw with a bow, and rather than drums, the setup was a plastic bin and suitcase with pick-ups WAHH!
anyways I went back to Woolongong for the night then in the morning travelled to sydney then gosford then newcastle and then to the bay to stay with my sister!

In the morning Melissa (sals housemate) and sal were hanging up one of their hammocks and they thought it would be a great idea to get me to test it out. It seemed ok at first but mid scentence i fell straight onto the concrete... nice bruised ass to show for it.

That night sally had her 26th birthday party at the Old Texas Ranch which was great,HAPPY BIRTHDAY SALLY! we got drunk and all dressed up as cowboys and indians... Ill post some photos later... Melanie and I were the only Indians... the night was awsome... in brief it consisted of twisting, mechanical bull rides, limbo, steaks as big as your head... and lots of alcohol.

The next day we drove to sydney for my Omas 90th birthday... HAPPY BIRTHDAY OMA! It was at uncle Rudi's house and it was really nice to see alot of my relatives again that i hadn't seen for almost 2 years...
Liz decided to take me back to woolongong where i got to hang out with Jonno and Patrick, Patrick and catch up with Kim! I really like Woolongong... i think that perhaps Id want to live there maybe when i get back from germany!
anyways when i got back i had two days before my directing assignment was due. and including those four days before my video major work (the documentary) was due... So ive been sleeping in the labs for the last couple of nights and last night was my first night in my own bed for agesss!!! its felt great. good sleep.

So yeah!!! ive just handed those things in and its allllll good!!!
Looking forward to a good week, still have some more stuff due but its not as time consuming as editing.

So I guess thats it for now!!! I forsee alot of party photos coming up.
For those who have essays and exams and stuff still due, ALL THE BEST and ill see you with a drink in your hand when your done! (preferrably a shot of tequilla at my house!!!)

PS HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY MARIA MY FAVOURITE GIRL!

Radio love waves!

Inanimate Objects

2005-09-19T01:10:00.000-12:00

OK Over the past weekend we had the band Inanimate Objects come to canberra, a bunch of very talented guys from wollongong stay to help me shoot a Music Video for their recently recorded song "No Time for Haste". I know these guys through the lead singer Patrick Arnold who is a good friend of my brothers. I hadnt seen him for about 2 years so it was definately good to catch up, and to also meet the other two members (minus the bass player who unfortunately couldn't make it) Patrick Douglas and Jono Hunt.

The clip was shot in the 'Black Room' aka studio 5 at CNMA. It took us about a day to get set up to do the shoot the next day. Basically the Band in the clip is playing inside an old-school radio which made setting up the lighting pretty tricky. So we went and purchased a radio from a recycling depo and cut the shape of the holes in the speaker in a large sheet of black plastic which was then hoisted up cutting off a third of the room we were shooting in. Some red-heads were set up behind them and a pin light directed on Pat who was shadowed in the corner by the guitarists. So you can kind of see a reflection of the radio light in this image of Jono's guitar.

So yeah it looks really good! the HDVcams were are now using are amazing! They make anything look broadcast quality and bring a tear to your eye when it comes to watching your footage on a television set. So these next few images are from the actual footage... I hope you like!!!

Oh and make sure you take some time to check out a couple of their songs, I strongly recommend you listen to No Time for Haste and Significance which are their two most recently recorded. Hopefully they get a few gigs in Canberra in the not to distant future and if they do I'll keep you all posted because they are definately worth the listen, not to mention entertaining to watch!

Ok, I went with the Nikon, its soooo nice! After comparing the specs it was close, but considering the nikon was cheaper and MUCH MUCH smaller (not to mention a lovely shade of blue!) it won my heart over... Hope you enjoy!!!

And soon to grace my blog, photos from my soon-to-be purchased Panasonic Lumix FZ-20. after working in a camera shop for a couple of months now I've finally fallen in love with a Single camera. although coming in a very close second was the more compact, less zoom but equally as awsome macro capabilities of the Nikon Coolpix 5900. Which is my top recommendation at the moment for anyone considering buying a compact digital camera. So for the next couple of weeks Ill keep saving and hopefully youll have some more interesting pictures to look at!

I guess I'll finally be satisfied with the layout of this blog when i finally learn html myself... So i hope everyones holidays were great!!! I had strange holidays, there were neither relaxing of fulfilling, just sort of worked at the camera shop heaps and went down to melbourne for a couple of days with Dale. THAT WAS FUN... he let me drive for an hour and a bit on our way down. It was scary... i guess the thing that turns me off driving mostly is the daunting sense of responsibility. especially on the freeway! Well we got there safe so i guess i did ok. Cut along story short, got pretty drunk, made some fantastic new friends and flew back nice and seedy for stock take.
So anyways back at uni... looking forward to this semester, doing a few fun things... First of all im designing my very own deck of playing cards... should be fun... i guess youll all see the final project in about a month and a half. and lots of video fun this semester that i hope everyone can be a part of!

Oh and if anyone is interested in taking part in a local Bollywood film you should check out the Project Samosa Link on the right of the page. You should also check out Neal's new HugeCube site which is the result of Communication Deisgn last semester.. Its great. I should have my portfolio site up before the end of the year so i needent have to blab on to express myself.

HAVE FUN!

They took the ACCEPTABLE cabritos, the following pairs of photos ignited here during outside stint of 37 hours in our home far from the homemade laboratory of BADA, in where the dual processors brandnew of mac G5 crashed and his usb and firewire within small pieces charmingly in strike. Playdough of brung of Maria, and dvds of brung of Horseradish tree. We remained above most of the night that worked in our animations and in the morning donalds of mac took trrip cold frreezing of nut to recover itself to only find us more found out our state constanly that it degraded of oncee of the mind which we obtained behind the gold arcs I took a siesta from the hours in the floor to only wake up to the James who watched whist to me that laughed nervously and the king of the lion that played in the projector in Hebrew everything in all the good one night!

As you can see, work is easily avoided with the giant projector playing movies and awsome speakers bellowing out unavoidable film scores.

Cabin fever kicks in and so does the need to stick play dough on your face and think its the funniest thing in the world, not getting over it untill anyone who has a camera has captured it forever so that when you see it next your thought patterns are something along the lines of "WTF?". In other words, after staying at the BADA labs for too long your brain starts to resemble something like black play dough.
