-Updated 31 Aug 2005-



So here I am again. It's been a while hasn't it. My alto sax initially got a lot of use. Funny isn't it, how a fulltime job takes away all your spare time. Haven't had any time to poi too, apart from Jugglejam on Mondays and the monthly Moonfests. And even then, it somehow seems I tend to play with the stockwhip instead of poi shrug



Another lens has been added to the stable too. A Canon EF-S 10-22 3.5-4.5.. nice and wiide. But it all boils back down to that time issue. Despite having the new lens, I seem to find I'm out taking less pictures.. the folio hasn't been updated in a while, and I'm starting to get the horrible feeling I'm stagnating. Must. Get out of this rut.



If you're my muse and reading this, inspiration needed now. hug



-Edited 14 Dec 2005-



I liken this to opening the fridge to find that jar of misc what's it, several months expired ubblol. Hey how's it going? wave



So what's new! Well.. poi's getting a bit better for one thing. Nice how after poi-ing for a while, you stop hitting yourself senseless. In fact, one might argue how after a certain point, each hit puts more sense into you.. wink Haven't gone skating or rockclimbing in a bit, but that's ok- life's full of wonderful distractions, and really, you can only do a couple at a time.



University's just wrapped up! Yep. A degree in art & visual culture, television & digital media.. Just waiting for a piece of paper at the moment (yay!). And trying to sort out how Australia will let me live here forever and ever biggrin. Have I mentioned how wonderful it is, you so ought to visit *nudge* wink Also been getting out the with photography and stuff- a couple of projects to follow up on, blue skies and puffy clouds as far as I can see.



Updates updates. [insert geek] I've updated my camera gear too.. my 20D, 17-85 4-5.6 IS and 580EX now have a 70-200 2.8L IS to play with.. soon too, riding on getting a particular gig, either a 350D and a 24-105 f4 IS, or another 20D.. -grin- [/end geek]



[edit 14/12/05: Gig didn't go through, and ended up performing at it instead of shooting it ubblol Life has a funny way of messing you about doesn't it.. so no 2nd body for me just yet, or nice 24-105 f4 IS redface]



Been taking lots of photos lately. I think there's something intrinsically beautiful in capturing moments- you know how you look at a photo and it brings you back to where you were that day, who you were with, how the air smelt even.. Maybe one day I'll get to exhibit ubblove.. but yeah.. lots of work to be done meantime.



Hmmmm.. yes the world's beautiful today. It's good to have new toys, new moves, new direction.. old friends hug.. a best friend hug2, and enough distractions not to get bored for too long.



Btw.. favourite words haven't changed.. ubbrollsmile And mm.. I'm still not too close to balletic, and dulcet..



Hmm.. la la la laaa squawk.. footinmouth



[edit 14/12/05: I now have a beautiful alto saxophone- the best use of which I have thus far found, is to attract ducks and other misc waterfowl]



Yep, how about we say still aspiring. biggrin



Hope all's well with everyone- don't be strangers now! hug biggrin

I've been exploring this site a bit lately, and have decided everyone seems like a nice bunch- thought it's about time I said hello. Ryan, 24, born in Singapore, but Brisbane Australia has been home to me for the past 3 years.



I love photography, playing the guitar (if one took a picture of me with my guitar, it looks like I'm playing it- does that count?), getting from point A to B on my trusty mountain bike, inline skating and hockey, occasionally rockclimbing, and just being in good company. I'd also like to add poiing to the list when I stop hitting myself senseless.



Irrelevantly, my two favourite words (I've got heaps if anyone's interested) are 'balletic' and 'dulcet'. 'Balletic', unfortunately, isn't a word I'd use to describe anything I can do, and 'dulcet' is a word I haven't dreamt of aspiring towards yet.



Enough for now, don't be strangers! biggrin

I remember going to the uk thinking I'd not mind if someone stole my film gear so I could upgrade devil.. but you know.. karma. Managed to sell it anyway when I got back- which partially financed the purchase of my 70-200 2.8 IS biggrin

Erin: Holy crepes ubblol So how great is the location exactly? Can get a bit tempting, but you'll most probably spend more time in the house than out. Might be worth it holding on a bit..

As soon as I get enough money. Trust me I won't be missed here I haven't really shown my face around too much...I don't know how many people even know I am here. And the only reason I came here has suddenly become the reason to get away from here.

Sorry to hear it's looking like that at the moment dear.. Sometimes things don't turn out the way you plan, and the best thing to do is take a step back and take it in. Everyday's a new opportunity you know? Hope all is well in your heart, and do take care in the meantime.. hug hug hug

Jon: Not that there's anything wrong with being a fishmonger.. I just think that a talented individual like yourself could aim so much higher.. tongue But while you're offering.. how much is sea bass going for by the kilo? biggrin

Jean: Heya! Well, the job front's still looking a bit tentative at the moment. It's a bit frustrating but I intend to be working as quickly as possible. Have a few calls to make and a few emails to send out, and for now it's fingers crossed. Really looking forward to CG this year- I'd go even if I had to walk there wink Photographic knowledge? ubblol Will be happy to- always happy to exchange notes with another photobug smile Trust all is well with you? How's the kid? hug
