+ all of the above

It’s been a bit slow around here lately as I was away on a short holiday. I’m back again and normal programming will resume shortly.

No posts for a while on account of being in London. See ya when I see ya.

I’m off on a short jaunt to London soon and sketched this up quick to celebrate.

A holiday, I’m going on one and I’m gonna take a bunch of photos (some just like the one below). See you on the other side of the weekend.

I haven’t posted about my work in some time, as I haven’t managed to produce as much recently as usual. That will change as I’m undertaking a new photo project which will probably leak it’s way into the blog at some point. Below is a shot unrelated to my new project, a nameless street from my recent travels.

Well, this poor blog has had a very hard weekend and has only just now on Tuesday evening woken up from the hangover and gotten back to business. On Friday it was hacked and then before I could fix it, Dreamhost servers started going down and I wasn’t able to do a thing until they came back online. Finally today it’s looking much better, fingers crossed it stays that way.

Let’s celebrate with this magnificent performance by Kristen Schaal and her cohort Kurt Braunohler (and by the way, I could kill the person who put an ad break in the middle of this).

I’m in Oz again for a short while for my sister’s wedding (congrats sis). I’m gonna try and post however regular programming will be disrupted for the next couple of weeks.

Break is over, get back to work everyone!

I’m with the family for xmas. No more updates till I’m back home in a week or so.

Peace.

Moving apartments. Will be incommunicado for a few days…

Installing Snow Leopard. Having trouble with Quicksilver. Be back soon.

This is a series of adverts run by VW from a few years back. They’re so satisfying to watch as I come from a town which hosts the largest pimped-out auto show in the country. In addition, the fourth video is a ‘behind the scenes’ test video which is destructive enough to rival a Myth-Busters episode.

I have a few new shots over at my flickr account

Given to me by a very lovely friend when she visited me last year. They remind me of all the lovely cameras I had to leave at home when I left Oz

I am very excited right now, finding this was like scratching an itch I’d had for years. I saw the below animation on SBS’s Eat Carpet program right when I started studying and it very much inspired me. I never forgot it but I was never able to find it again. Watching it now, it’s very different to what I remember but I think that is a good thing. Maybe one day I will make the animation which I do remember…

I’ve just put a few photos up from San Fran over at Flickr. Check em out:

A photo I took a while back of west Greenpoint, right next to the river.

So this took me a little longer than it should have to post, but if you’re interested I’ve put photos of the exhibition over on my flickr account. Also, check out the exhibition website and Banksy’s website for videos and photos.

This was fantastic to see as it was the first work by Banksy which I’d seen on anything other than a computer screen. The animatronics were absolutely flawless, the swimming fish stick being a particular highlight (which wriggled and swam around its fishbowl). Often you need to look past the technical problems in works such as this to appreciate what the artist is trying to do, however that was certainly not the case here.

Also, in case you were wondering, nothing was for sale. Not even the shelves and shelves of plastic wrapped meat, chew toys and kitty litter, all of which caused the place to have an eerily authentic feel.

A picture I took earlier this year of the very lovely Dana.

I took some photos from the Empire State building, see the rest at my flickr account.
