I had my back massage today, wasn't sure it was working during the session but immediately afterwards felt better. There were times of discomfort and other times of total bliss. I kept telling myself that the short pain I felt was better than living with it all day.
I could stand up straight afterwards and even lock my knees. Something I couldn't do hours and even a few days earlier. Back at work my coworkers saw a difference as well. According to one, I had my *strut* back. LOL. I didn't know I strutted when I walked.
At home I wanted to test out my new wireless shutter from Cooters (heh heh heh, cooter) so I set it under my ceiling fan and started jumping. Cause I can! Then I decided that was a really good work out cause I only jumped about 10 times. Maybe. But it was tiring!!! I also decided that jumping barefoot isn't all that wise on hardwood floors. My toes hurt, but my back didn't.
They ended up looking alot better than I thought they would. Though there isn't much action going on here. Oh well.
Construction on the Ballarat Mechanics' Institute on Sturt Street began in 1859. As a Gold Rush city with a growing population of miners, a number of eminent philanthropic citizens of Ballarat were anxious to provide working men with a chance to improve their work skills and their general education. It took the dedication of locals another decade to complete the Sturt Street facade, and a further decade for the billard room to be completed.
Built in the Classical style, the three storey Mechanics' Institute has a very restrained facade with minimal decoration. It features a beautiful bull nosed verandah edged with ornate cast iron lacework along the street to keep out the heat of the afternoon sun. Over the arched entrance, the letters of the Mechanic’s Institute are spelt in delicate, florid gilt letters. It also has a balcony extending from a scalloped niche on the first floor and a balconette on the upper floor. Crowning the building is the figure of Pallas Athena, the Greek Goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration civilization, law and justice, just warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill.
Historically, Mechanics' Institutes were educational establishments formed to provide adult education, particularly in technical subjects, to working men. As such, they were often funded by local industrialists on the grounds that they would ultimately benefit from having more knowledgeable and skilled employees. The Mechanics' Institutes were used as 'libraries' for the adult working class, and provided them with an alternative pastime to gambling and drinking in pubs.

Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera Model 1 + Expired 600 Film + Pack Filter.
Handheld.
Pola No 33 accompanies these other Polas from my growing 'Pola Nights Series'.
In the Summer, I was lucky enough to be able to go for a Pola Stroll with Lady Vervaine. I was struggling to gain confidence with my newly acquired sx-70, and the whole business of ND filters, pack filters and exposure with that 600 film had rather taken over the initial fun and anticipation I had experienced.
Wandering around the Barbican late at night, watching some serious Holga/Tripod/Bulb action, and absorbing the general enthusiasm of a shared experience gave me just the kick start I needed. Thanks Lady Vervaine! :)
There were nests on every fan and up in some bookshelves too, all around this farmhouse from last week
I can't decide what this photo is missing. There's always the possibility it's missing everything.

I missed the good old days where hot means warm, and temperature reached up to 29 degrees . That was way back 12 years ago in Klang.
Recently, every day is so hot that I need ceiling fan outdoor.
If rain happens to pour down, I get flooding roads.
Being outdoor is a major dilemma.
Either I get freaking wet of the rain or get burn under the striking hot sun.
Global warming is indeed a disaster.
we bought a new ceiling fan for our master bedroom months ago. i finally decided to install it today. more related pics to come!

Too hot and too busy to spend a lot of time on this one, I'm afraid. I was looking for movement inside the house adn I remembered those scenes from the movie "Cry Freedom" where Steve Biko is being interrogated by the South African police. The director used extremely low and extremely high camera angles which included the ceiling fans in the room. For example: mikehoolboom.com/thenewsite/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/8-...
I was also reminded of the yellowish tinge to the shots set in Mexico in the film "Traffic". So I have tried to combine the two - I was trying to create a feeling of unease and discomfort, even despair. I wanted the moving fan to suggest cutting or disruption, even violence, and the high contrast and slight yellowish colour to suggest high heat and humidity.
To get the shot I had the camera on a small tripod on the floor while I stood on a stool to avoid getting any furniture or other items in the frame. This involved a lot of climbing up and down to check the LCD and adjusting fan speed, shutter speed, camera angle, ISO, focus (the auto focus would not work on the moving fan), etc, etc.
In Photoshop, I altered exposure, brightness, contrast and levels. I also cropped it. I also used Nik Color Efex 4 to simulate slight film grain and to fine-tune the contrast. (These are very powerful tools and I am still learning how to use them.) I would like to make the fan blades more distinct, but I am not sure how to do that.

My gallery ceiling : the Biscaya demolition
www.flickr.com/photos/pierremarcel/2125876849/
Soon after my installation as a muralist in South Bach, I witnessed its demolition in 1987 and met the preservationists who organized concerted, but unsuccessful protest. The Biscaya could have been to Miami Beach what the Biltmore now is to Coral Gables.
I was more sensitive to the human aspect of that event than the purely esthetic architectural historic preservation one. In my big mural, I painted the blowing away mattresses and personal belongings of the numerous homeless living in the abandoned building.
If I was genuinely an fan of the Art Deco tropical designs, I felt already that all efforts to save this district will not necessarily permit to humble artist like me to stay in that paradise, the cost of living and attending a gallery will be skyrocketing, the future inhabitants will be just investors, not real citizen attached to city life and local art thriving.
