-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

Pete: Oh nothing much.. there was the third world war and Australia now has a green government.. other than that.. not too much. I should also probably mention that David Bowie is Prime Minister.

Rhys: And it RoXoRz yr BoXoRZ ubbloco?

He was a luck dragon (Falkor) Ry...and the book is so much better than that movie...although I still cry to this day when I see Artax (the horse) drowning in the swamps of sadness.

A sequel to the dark crystal hmmmm....not sure if I will watch that or not.

Well, I'd imagine that the new Dark Crystal *is* going to use CGI, but then again, so did Mirrormask and that was incredible!! The reason I didn't get to meet Brian Froud last year was because he was working on the sequel. I've enjoyed everything of Froud's that I've seen so far. Plus it's still a Henson production, and I've always enjoyed Tartakovsky's work (the director, also created Samurai Jack). So I have high hopes for the new movie!

Ry: I've seen your latest release, it was an absolutely lush shooting smile. I did have some comments on the spinning, but I think much of it had to do with the precarious position from which you decided to spin. I've been trying to find some time to give it a proper looksee.

Anyways smile .. hello and bybye.

Erin: If I had a someone doing dreads for me session.. I'd prolly want to watch.. possibly anything other than The Neverending Story.. ubblol Maybe some Coupling.. or Black Books.. mm



Jean: Glad the sunshine arrived! Some of it may have slipped out of the packaging before it got to Adelaide though- got a report of grey skies in certain parts! Sent more for today too to make up for it wink hug



Fi: I still think Falkor was a flying dog.. ubblol



Mel: A movie coming out today with no cgi? Now.. really.. what are the chances of that? hehe



Gayle: That takes cute mice pictures to a new level! Ta!! hug



Beth: Haven't a clue what you're on about, but it sounds a bit bambimotheresque.. confused



Sui: Samurai Jack was on tv the other night.. Thought it was a bit.. spongebob. ubblol



Yeah.. was a bit precarious.. Would probably have spun a bit better if I had a bit more room.. oh well. For the next one eh? beerchug

Heh.. noooo :P. If I were to submit something to COL, I'd want it to be more of a performance, and I have a lot of exploration to do regarding performance, dance, and characters. I'm currently very self-concious about such things. I have, however, recently made myself some practice meteors and staffs, so my spinning toy collection is beginning to expand smile. Hopefully I'll have some fun vids out this summer.

Take it easy.

Did you happen to catch my Mar 13 vid? That's probably the one I'm most satisfied with currently. It was an experiment in timing. The music in the vid is the same that I was listening to at the time, and sync'd up. And no smoke! Heh.. I'm actually just about done with those.. I get none after tomorrow (goin outta town for a week, costs too much where I'm goin :P).

Peace.. I hope you go for the COL entry, I'd love to see what you dish out for something like that!

Yeah, RY, do a COL vid! Please please pretty please!

( Still havent seen the one you posted yet, sad. Sigh. My MPV files that I download these days seem to be pixel-ated. Is there a pixel virus out there? Or Maybe my world is just pixelated. No idea why. But it can be kinda annnoying...)
smiles for you,
big hug too,

Sui: Just caught the March 13th vid- heaps good for a 6 month mark I say! beerchug Only complaint is that it's hosted on one of those streaming sites mad2.. Had to watch it in the explorer window and can't save it. So where exactly are you running off to again?

Still not sure if I can come up with anything enough for a COL entry.. will really have to think it through a bit more.. maybe see if practising later might give me some ideas..

I think you should make an entry yourself! biggrin

Jean: Heya! Someone's a bit bouncy ubblol hug I rock? Do tell me more.. ubbangel So mm.. Adelaide's getting the sun? Wasn't too sure.. have been seeing a bit of sun over here, so was wondering if he'd left yet ubblol Today's been wonderful, but I must admit I've missed most of it.. Have been in the habit of waking up past midday lately.. It's very slack I know.. redface Hope all's well your side. If you ever see a llama..

Andrea: Slack. tongue I'm guessing you just don't have the codec.. www.divx.com will sort you out. Still waiting for your promised comments ubblol COL entry.. sigh..
