While this is a somewhat brief return, it may not signal a complete return.

This year my health has taken a real beating; there's no sign of recovery in the foorseeable future, for one illness, though I will recover, the other has to run it's course for another 3 1/2 months.

In the interim I've uploaded a couple of unique files, here. A trip to Tokyo, earlier this year means I can resume my back yard project. The camera has some odd quirks that set it apart from the original so stay tuned for some weird imagery.

The More Things Change....

Well life continues in it's own maddening way; I'm not sure if I mentioned it here, but I've bgun a new publication, altfotonet.org issue one was published earlier this year, I am now in the process of researching and issue #2.

This issue will look at 3 melbourne based photographers and their approach to photographing Melbourne.

One of those photographers is none other than Rob Young, whose keen eye, and sense of desgin combined with his sense of space has produced a great series of images of Melbourne's Light & Space.

We hope to publish issue #2 of altfotonet.org by the end of April 2009

Order & disorder Archives & Photography

So in a somewhat timely series of events, today I visited, along with the rest of the teaching faculty, a show at the NGV, entitled, Order & disorder Archives & Photography. The show itself is about the way the camera has been use by artists since the 1960's to create some semblance of order about the world around them.

From the exhibition catalogue/website, www.ngv.vic.gov.au/orderanddisorder/index.html

"Photography is naturally associated with archives because of its inherent ability to record, store and organise visual images.....

who explore the idea of archives as complex, living and occasionally mysterious systems of knowledge."

Did my little series achieve any of this? not sure but, this I guess was one of the driving ideas behind it when I began.

Finished

Busy?

Have I been busy? You bet, and I'm glad you asked. Other than a recent trip, to Sydney, by road, I've submitted again this year some work for consideration for the annual MGA William & Winifred Bowness Photography award. I've put CCP exhibition application on the back burner, as I write short course I've ben invited to run at the Grafton Arts Festival in early 2009, as well as get a new publication off the ground.

The new publication is called altfotnet.org, and is intended to be a virtual exhibition space for excellent photography as chosen by a small panel of peer reviewers.

Have a look give it a go.

Weather?

So my backyard set is going oooookaaay, but I'm starting to despair such infrequent weather changes and sooo much sunshine; boo who'd have thought, a Melbournian complaining about the weather eh.

What is sadly becoming apparent is, that I leave my washing on the line far too long!

New 'Set'

s2art has added a post:

Created a new set today, I'm not sure why, but I'm fascinated by the view out of the back door. Our yard faces North so the light is spectacular, all year round, and this does the most fabulous job of transforming the most mundane of objects our clothesline and the view generally.

I've set up a group for low rez devices, mobile phone cameras and keychain cameras, feel free to join, I know I've invited most of my network so I won't be sending out any more invites. Hope to see more of everyone here on ipernity now that this groups exist.

Thanks to tuxcomputers & brendadada, I found the meebo chat room which looks like it'll work a little better than the ipernity one

I made a book

s2art has added a post:

As I sift through hundred and hundreds of mobile phone images here, I've decided to finally follow though on a long held dream and make a book of my own images, well, it is done, and for anyone who's interested it can be downloaded for free, from why website, all I ask in return is a postcard from you where ever you live.

Enjoy.

Sorted

Well it, the 'moderation/censorship' issue was sorted pretty quickly, so the image is now able to be seen by all and sundry. Still it was a useful impetus, I now have uploaded here, and have begun the process of flicking through my 'archives' to see what else I can upload.

Flickr censorship is a joke..

s2art has added a post:

This image has been marked as "restricted" by the flickr staff, or is that yahoo staff?

Thanks to barb for the heads up, musings with direct access to the image, are here

It formed part of a small series of images that I guess will now become part of this site, give me a day or two to dig them up from my archives and I'll add them here.

What to do?

s2art has added a post:

So, once ipernity gets "groups" things will change around here I'm sure? But in the interim, what to do with 2 accounts?

Particulalry given one is unlikely to ever be a pro account, and after nearly over 3 years on flickr I've certainly learnt a thing or two regarding online photosharing...

"Must think"

"hmmmmmmm....?"
