I have not been able to pinpoint exactly what to put on this page yet, so for
now it'll serve as a gathering place for whatever hasn't been covered
sufficiently on any of the other pages. Interests I'd like to write in greater
detail about, pet peeves, what have you.
( weekly cool stuff )
A spur of the moment thing. I decided to set up a page where I'll attempt
to feature something - a film, a book, a CD, whatever - each week that I
feel is especially cool. Check it out!
( photography )
I've mentioned that I've taken up Lomo photography. I am, however,
not a big fan of the lomography rules. Happy accidents can be fun, but I'm not
interested in relying on them. That just invalidates the entire concept of
skill. The way the little Russian camera captures light interests me more than
the way it can capture random "moments." Others may not agree, of course, and
that's okay.
Not all of these pictures are courtesy of my Lomo LC-A. The older
ones (pre 2001) are from a borrowed Olympus AF-1; a rather ordinary compact
camera. Also, some of the Melbourne photos were taken with a nice, old
Canon FP with a 50mm/f1.8 prime lens. My most recent camera addition is a
Canon EOS 300 with a 28-105mm/f3.5-4.5 zoom lens. I've also fallen in love
with Fujichrome Velvia, which looks stunning, but is a total bitch to scan.
I plan to rescan all of my pictures (from negs instead of prints),
add many new, remove several I'm not that happy with anymore, and just plain
redo the whole photo gallery section. When? When I have time. Don't
hold your breath, then! I'm also currently hooked on star trail-photography.
With exposure times averaging about three and a half hours, it takes a
while to go through a 36-exposure roll. So don't hold your breath waiting
for scans of those pictures either! :-)
( the public eye )
While I generally don't like to be in the spotlight, I've allowed myself to be
interviewed a number of times. Typically, the topics have been stuff I know
well and feel secure talking about.
