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

Would you believe it, bandages would literally come in handy. ubblol

Wrong with it- if you must know.. the hinge holding the screen is broken from wear and tear.. 4 and a half years worth.. and the broken bits keep falling out.. small shattered bits of metal and plastic haven't stopped falling out since.. Opening the screen, the screen flops all the way back.. I've got a metal thingie thing sticking up and propping it up..

Internally.. I suspect Win 2k and an IRQ sharing conflict are causing intermittent sound problems.

Also, I've only got 640mb ram.. working on photos (e.g. simultaneously running PSC2, ACDSee Pro, windows explorer, norton systemworks autoprotect, msn, zone alarm and a wireless card... opening an 8mb raw file takes about 15-20 seconds, while saving takes about the same amount of time..)

Need bandage.. or new lappy ubbangel

gah Jean.. at this moment I'm unsure of any leave before CG even.. Need to ring up and speak to a few people above me.. May need to borrow those digit crossing pixies again.. redface

Cantus: Well, she's got a a couple of shots I don't mind, e.g.
https://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3639946
(I like)
https://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3278453
https://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3766326
+ some cat shots (which seldom turn out really bad)..
https://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4440248
https://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4437267
https://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3479110
(exceptionally good), but where she excels technically, I think for the most part, I don't think there's enough depth in her subject matter to keep me fixated for very long..

For conceptual photography, this stuff is amazing:

Flora has been one of my favourite photographs for years. Yes, it's a photograph.

I also love this guys work:

Sam: Just checked. I never bother with deviantart because I find the layout uncomfortable to navigate and it takes too many clicks to get you anywhere. Gives me a bit of a headache.

Just went through it just for you two- same comments. Technically superb- subject matter.. most of it is very contrived/posed

Jean: Last time I was at those markets.. having dinner.. you weren't there! ubblol tongue But mm.. I really like having all that variety. The crowd was a bit moshy, but other than that, I'd appreciate having something like that Brissie way..

350D heehe.. price coming down too! And and! We get to share lenses come CG! biggrin! gah.. I've been having the urge to buy a camera accessory on ebay for ages.. wondering if I should just go ahead and buy it..

Cantus: Ahh.. you're like a moodring. Turning purple in the face to tell me I'm grumpy? ubblol tongue bleah to you, sir. To you I say bleah.
