The Brazillion Dollar Home.... I need one...

Well after an exhaustive search I think this Crumpler Bag is what I need to get.. This is MASSIVE and will take a Laptop, 2 Camera's, 3 Speed Lights, and all manner of CF Cards and bits and bobs. So looking forward to getting one..

I thought about what kind of Musical Interlude for this, and could only come up with this.. I'm not proud that I knew this track existed...

Welcome Home Cadel Evens...

Well I'm in the midst of working out Lens and Camera options for tomorrow at Federation Square with the return of the return of the Tour De France winner Cadel Evens making a special appearance.

Still Life..... And other treasures.....

I have seen a Still Life that looks like a broken shattered can, and have decided to take a crack at it in my style. I will use not only the Digital, but the Holga is charged with some color film and is gonna get a big crack at it as well. I really like shooting small things like this in Film as they get such a lovely tone and deep rich color as well.

I have also taken a few emails asking for a couple of prints to be hung in a couple of local cafes here in Melbourne. As soon as a few things go up I will inform.

So currently I'm shooting Still Life on LOMO as well as Digital, getting pictures re mounted and framed, and chasing around for a few places to hang them..

Busy busy busy.....

Just another day Here.... Or is that there...

So many little jobs to complete, I'm thinking it's time for a snack!!

I have about 30 images I need to get re-mounted and framed; I have 5 emails to reply to about Photographs; I have to send one email to a local Cafe about exhibiting some of my work as well; plus I have to chase up a framer that works at a reasonable price......

Like I said....... Lots of little jobs today...

Sometimes things don't go so well......

Today was going to be a busy day of shooting and editing, then it all went ass up and I got not very much done.

I had a wonderful friend of mine lined up for some nudes, and when I got to her place she was sneezing and snuffleing with a cold. So that's that idea done and gone. So I took her out for a nice lunch and coffee instead. This also gave me time to pop in to the Art Supply store and pick up a few things for framing.

So really all in all, a bad day became a sort of OK day. Now I can at least get some pictures Matted and backed and then off to the framers.

Photo Shoots..... Busy Weekend...

Well today is a planning day...

I have 1 definite shoot for the weekend, but there is a pretty strong plan on a second. I have an Artistic Nude B&W Shoot with a friend of mine. I have planned a simple Still Life shoot as well.

I have also spent a fair amount of time in the the art studio getting some other Paste Up stuff ready. Things just take time and I can't wait to get it all moving..

So much to do, and so little time..

Metallic Paper..... OOHHHHHHHH YYYEEEAAAAHHHHHHH

Dropped off a couple of simple Black and Whites and a Color Urban Landscape to Bond Imaging for printing on Metallic Paper and WOW..

I have found a new friend in papers. These prints look FANTASTIC and has a lovely metallic sheen. I'm not convinced on the Color Prints, but the Black and Whites look SUPERB..

Now I'm thinking of shots to do that will take advantage of this wonderful paper and finish.
