Sydney will once again be transformed into a spectacular canvas of light, music and ideas when Vivid Sydney takes over the city after dark from 25 May – 11 June 2012.
Colouring the city with creativity and inspiration, Vivid Sydney highlights include the hugely popular immersive light installations and projections; performances from local and international musicians at Vivid LIVE at Sydney Opera House and the new Vivid Ideas Exchange at the MCA featuring public talks and debates from leading global creative thinkers.
Vivid Sydney is a major celebration of the creative industries and the biggest festival of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, attracting over 400,000 attendees in 2011.
From Wikipedia:
The Customs House is an historic Sydney landmark located in the city's Circular Quay area. Constructed initially in 1844-1845, the building served as the headquarters of the Customs Service until 1990. Ownership was then transferred from the Commonwealth Government of Australia to the City of Sydney Council in 1994, when it became a venue for exhibitions and private functions.
After being refurbished in 2003, it has also become the new home of the City of Sydney Library.
People of the Eora tribe are said to have witnessed from the site, in 1788, the landing of the First Fleet. Convict David O'Connor was hanged on the site in 1790 and it is said that his ghost haunts the Customs House to this day, offering people rum.
The driving force behind the construction of the original sandstone edifice on Circular Quay was Colonel John George Nathaniel Gibbes (1787-1873), the Collector of Customs for New South Wales for a record term of 25 years from 1834 to 1859. Colonel Gibbes persuaded the Governor of NSW, Sir George Gipps, to begin construction of the Customs House in 1844 in response to Sydney's growing volume of maritime trade. The building project also doubled as an unemployment relief measure for stone masons and laborers during an economic depression which was afflicting the colony at the time.
The two-storey Georgian structure was designed by Mortimer Lewis and featured 13 large and expensive windows in the facade to afford a clear view of shipping activity in Sydney Cove. Colonel Gibbes, who dwelt opposite Circular Quay on Kirribilli Point, was able to watch progress on the Customs House's construction from the verandah of his private residence, Wotonga House (now Admiralty House).
The Customs House opened for business in 1845 and replaced cramped premises at The Rocks. It was partially dismantled and expanded to three levels under the supervision of the then Colonial Architect, James Barnet, in 1887. Various additions were made over the next century, particularly during the period of the First World War, but some significant vestiges of the original Gibbes-Lewis building remain.
The Coat of arms of the United Kingdom is displayed on Customs House. The coat features both the motto of English monarchs, Dieu et mon droit (God and my right), and the motto of the Order of the Garter, Honi soit qui mal y pense (Shamed be he who thinks ill of it) on a representation of the Garter behind the shield.
Now heading into its fourth year, Vivid Sydney was ranked in the Top Ten global ideas festivals by the influential Guardian newspaper in the UK.

This weeks theme for the Behind the Lens - Global Creative Photography Project is OPPOSITES. Because I had to go back to work this week :( I havn't had much time to shoot much of anything. So, this is a shot from the archives of this past summer. It shows the sun setting over Grant Peak in the Skagit Valley near Hope B.C.
Through post processing I created extreme opposites - Over-Exposure from the sun and Under-Exposure on the backside of Grant Peak.
More shots from my trip to Eaton Peak are Here, Here, Here, Here, Here, Here, and Here

A colorful and patterned mozaic effect on our Sydney Opera House during the 2014 Vivid Sydney light show.
24th May 2014, I went into the City of Sydney to view firsthand the spectacular VIVID SYDNEY 2014, a festival of light, music and ideas. This image is one of my long exposure photographs of the bright and colorful projections of light and patterns on the Sydney Opera House. These colorful projections were continuously changing making Sydney Harbour look like a piece of art.
Many of the ferries also had colorful lighting which just added to the bright and happy atmosphere created by this festival.
Coloring the city with creativity and inspiration, Vivid Sydney highlights include the hugely popular immersive light installations and projections; Vivid Aquatique immersive water theatre; performances from local and international musicians at Vivid LIVE at Sydney Opera House and the Vivid Ideas Exchange featuring public talks and debates from leading global creative thinkers.
The Sydney Opera House was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007. It is one of the 20th century's most distinctive buildings and one of the most famous performing arts centers in the world.
The Sydney Opera House is on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It sits at the north-eastern tip of the Sydney central business district (the CBD), surrounded on three sides by the harbour (Sydney Cove and Farm Cove) and inland by the Royal Botanic Gardens.
This is for: Behind the Lens - Global Creative Photography Project
Come join the fun!!
Wow, this is so simple. What's more simple than an old tap light and some dental floss with a paper with holes punched into it that spell "simple". Okay, so maybe not too "simple" per se, but the thought was, and a bit of irony. ;) Give me a break, I'm only an immature 21 year old. :( The reason why there are two photos are that I couldn't chose which one I liked better, I seem to have this problem a lot (Heart photos) ;) But I think the contrast worked out nicely.
Rock out with your simplicity out.
Please view larger size, as you can actually read the photo on the right press (L)

Was taken at the same location as my leaf picture. In fact, these are the same weeds that SAMcnutt has also taken an awesome photo of.
In other news, once again, thank you all for your submissions for week three of behind the lens - global creative project - Autumn/fall!!!! It was great to see all that you all came up with...seems like the general consensus is that the stereotypical 'fall' hasn't reared its pretty little head into most of our towns, but everyone did a great job of working around that fact. Woooh!!
Next Week our theme will be....
Opposites (due 10/10/10)
^once again, this date is shocking! So it's going to have to be phenomenal ladies and gents ;)
- Peace out, Pedro

A helpline uses Snapchat to let teens talk about abuse
Heard of Snapchat, right? The fun messaging app that lets you share videos, pictures, and doodles with friends for up to 10 seconds? Well, it’s being put to deadly serious use in India.
Snap Counsellors, an account on the messaging app, is helping teens speak up about relationship abuse.
It was launched by three Indians last week. “We already have an average of eight people reaching out to us everyday. There are almost 200 people watching the stories we are broadcasting on Snapchat,” says Rajshekar Patil, the ad guy whose brainchild it is.
Raj is based in Mumbai and works with Apple’s global creative agency, TBWA\Media Arts Lab. He joined hands with Avani Parekh and Nida Sheriff to create the Snapchat account.
The helpline hopes to tackle a widespread yet under-reported problem.
Relationship abuse or intimate partner abuse is common among Indian teens. But victims are scared to talk about it or message someone because partners often take the phone and email passwords to check on them.
And that’s why Snapchat’s self-destruct feature makes it ideal for a helpline. All messages get deleted within 10 seconds.
Raj got the idea when someone introduced him to the app. In advertising, he saw brands trying to jump on to Snapchat all the time.
“I was amazed by how quickly the app had caught on with youngsters and how they had their own space here,” he tells Tech in Asia. It was also non-intrusive.
Plus, he’d heard several stories of relationship abuse from friends, which never really went anywhere. So, why not take the opportunity to create social innovation?
He contacted Avani Parekh, a trained counsellor, who had been running a free website, www.lovedoctor.in, and Whatsapp service LoveDoctor. Nida, who runs Chayn India, joined in.
“We realised that privacy and secrecy are super important for those in abusive relationships, especially for teens and young people,” says Nida.
Their Snapchat account addresses this need.
It also allows the Stories feature to be used to send out images and videos to encourage victims to come forward. For example, one of them says, “Snoop on my heart, not my phone,” and another says, “Harsh words hurt as much as a hard fist.”
“We can send out a series of pics and videos – of 10 seconds each – that can be viewed by our followers for a 24-hour period, and then gets deleted,” explains Raj.
The Snap Counsellors account can be added using the id lovedoctordotin.

The golden sides of the stairway frame this pretty night landscape of Darling Harbour with the Novotel lit in lilac pink, a half moon illuminating the red colored sky and the heritage Pyrmont bridge to the right with a row of lamp posts and flags leading to the background.

This is Peaks Lounge, a small bar/ tapas place at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Denver. And I HIGHLY recommend it, it's kind of one of the unknown (but shouldn't be) places in Denver since it is mostly people staying there that know it is there. It's a bit expensive but the view is worth it since it shows you a panoramic view of Denver and surrounding areas. Sitting on their comfy leather couches whilst watching the sun go down behind the mountains is a beautiful thing. Sadly for us photographers, the glass is very thick so it is a bit difficult to get a clear shot through the glass, but it is still worth it!
Now, to get to BTL (I can't believe we are already at Week 9!) - Behind the Lens - Global Creative Photography Project
For those that do not know, is a group I started to take a creative and growing path with our photography by sharing our perspectives on certain themes with each other every Sunday. So if you haven't already, I'd love to see some new faces join the already awesome faces that participate in the group right now ;)
Simplicity was a great theme as it really brought us back to the basics and we had some very creative and interesting photos because of it. :) So thanks guys again!
Week 9 Theme - Cuisine (Suggested by Krissy and Brettake apparently :D)
Get your grub and chug on guys! ;) This is where its at, can't wait to see what everyone dine's on.

From Wikipedia:
The Customs House is an historic Sydney landmark located in the city's Circular Quay area. Constructed initially in 1844-1845, the building served as the headquarters of the Customs Service until 1990. Ownership was then transferred from the Commonwealth Government of Australia to the City of Sydney Council in 1994, when it became a venue for exhibitions and private functions.
After being refurbished in 2003, it has also become the new home of the City of Sydney Library.
People of the Eora tribe are said to have witnessed from the site, in 1788, the landing of the First Fleet. Convict David O'Connor was hanged on the site in 1790 and it is said that his ghost haunts the Customs House to this day, offering people rum.
The driving force behind the construction of the original sandstone edifice on Circular Quay was Colonel John George Nathaniel Gibbes (1787-1873), the Collector of Customs for New South Wales for a record term of 25 years from 1834 to 1859. Colonel Gibbes persuaded the Governor of NSW, Sir George Gipps, to begin construction of the Customs House in 1844 in response to Sydney's growing volume of maritime trade. The building project also doubled as an unemployment relief measure for stone masons and laborers during an economic depression which was afflicting the colony at the time.
The two-storey Georgian structure was designed by Mortimer Lewis and featured 13 large and expensive windows in the facade to afford a clear view of shipping activity in Sydney Cove. Colonel Gibbes, who dwelt opposite Circular Quay on Kirribilli Point, was able to watch progress on the Customs House's construction from the verandah of his private residence, Wotonga House (now Admiralty House).
The Customs House opened for business in 1845 and replaced cramped premises at The Rocks. It was partially dismantled and expanded to three levels under the supervision of the then Colonial Architect, James Barnet, in 1887. Various additions were made over the next century, particularly during the period of the First World War, but some significant vestiges of the original Gibbes-Lewis building remain.
The Coat of arms of the United Kingdom is displayed on Customs House.

Cadmans Cottage is the oldest surviving residential building in Sydney, having been built in 1816 for the use of the governmental coxswains and their crews. The building is heavily steeped in the history of Sydney, also claiming the title as the first building to have been built on the shoreline of The Rocks area.
It is claimed that during high tide, the water would come within 8 feet (2.4 m) of Cadmans Cottage; however, due to the reclamation of land during the building of Circular Quay, the waterline has moved about 100 meters away since 1816. The building has had several different uses in its lifetime—first and foremost as the abode of the four governmental coxswains (from 1816 until 1845), the headquarters of the Sydney Water Police (from 1845 to 1864) and as the Sailor's Home (from 1865 to 1970).
Restoration of Cadmans Cottage began in 1972 after it was proclaimed a Heritage site under the National Parks and Wildlife Act and control of the site was handed over to the Sydney Cove Redevelopment Authority.
A major archaeological investigation occurred in 1988 (in preparation for the bicentennial redevelopment) and since then, only minor maintenance works have been completed on the building. The building is now used as the home for the Sydney Harbour National Parks Information Center, and is able to be viewed by the public.
John Cadman was born in 1772 and was transported to Australia in 1797 at the age of 25 for the crime of stealing a horse. He was pardoned by the Governor Macquarie in 1821. He is the namesake of this building, and he lived in it as the Superintendent of Boats, with his wife and two stepdaughters, from 1827 until his retirement in 1845, staying a total of 18 years, the longest time served by a governmental coxswain until the position was abolished after Cadman's retirement.

Vivid Sydney 2014 (Photograph by Kaye Menner)
The Museum of Contemporary Art (abbreviated MCA) in Sydney, Australia is an Australian museum solely dedicated to exhibiting, interpreting and collecting contemporary art, both from across Australia and around the world. It is housed in the Art Deco-style former Maritime Services Board Building on the western edge of Circular Quay. This area was the traditional lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora nation.
The museum was opened in 1991 and from 2010 underwent a $58 million expansion and re-development, fully reopening as the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia on 29 March 2012.

24th May 2014, I went into the City of Sydney to view firsthand the spectacular VIVID SYDNEY 2014, a festival of light, music and ideas. This image is one of my long exposure photographs of the bright and colorful projections of light and patterns on the Museum of Contemporary Arts building. These colorful projections were continuously changing making this building a real piece of art.

Sydney will once again be transformed into a spectacular canvas of light, music and ideas when Vivid Sydney takes over the city after dark from 25 May – 11 June 2012.
Colouring the city with creativity and inspiration, Vivid Sydney highlights include the hugely popular immersive light installations and projections; performances from local and international musicians at Vivid LIVE at Sydney Opera House and the new Vivid Ideas Exchange at the MCA featuring public talks and debates from leading global creative thinkers.
Vivid Sydney is a major celebration of the creative industries and the biggest festival of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, attracting over 400,000 attendees in 2011.
From Wikipedia:
The Customs House is an historic Sydney landmark located in the city's Circular Quay area. Constructed initially in 1844-1845, the building served as the headquarters of the Customs Service until 1990. Ownership was then transferred from the Commonwealth Government of Australia to the City of Sydney Council in 1994, when it became a venue for exhibitions and private functions.
After being refurbished in 2003, it has also become the new home of the City of Sydney Library.
People of the Eora tribe are said to have witnessed from the site, in 1788, the landing of the First Fleet. Convict David O'Connor was hanged on the site in 1790 and it is said that his ghost haunts the Customs House to this day, offering people rum.
The driving force behind the construction of the original sandstone edifice on Circular Quay was Colonel John George Nathaniel Gibbes (1787-1873), the Collector of Customs for New South Wales for a record term of 25 years from 1834 to 1859. Colonel Gibbes persuaded the Governor of NSW, Sir George Gipps, to begin construction of the Customs House in 1844 in response to Sydney's growing volume of maritime trade. The building project also doubled as an unemployment relief measure for stone masons and laborers during an economic depression which was afflicting the colony at the time.
The two-storey Georgian structure was designed by Mortimer Lewis and featured 13 large and expensive windows in the facade to afford a clear view of shipping activity in Sydney Cove. Colonel Gibbes, who dwelt opposite Circular Quay on Kirribilli Point, was able to watch progress on the Customs House's construction from the verandah of his private residence, Wotonga House (now Admiralty House).
The Customs House opened for business in 1845 and replaced cramped premises at The Rocks. It was partially dismantled and expanded to three levels under the supervision of the then Colonial Architect, James Barnet, in 1887. Various additions were made over the next century, particularly during the period of the First World War, but some significant vestiges of the original Gibbes-Lewis building remain.
The Coat of arms of the United Kingdom is displayed on Customs House. The coat features both the motto of English monarchs, Dieu et mon droit (God and my right), and the motto of the Order of the Garter, Honi soit qui mal y pense (Shamed be he who thinks ill of it) on a representation of the Garter behind the shield.
Now heading into its fourth year, Vivid Sydney was ranked in the Top Ten global ideas festivals by the influential Guardian newspaper in the UK.
HY William Chan spent five months designing and producing the site-specific light installation "Palette of Urban Green".
Using 125 sustainable softwood timber pallets, Chan upcycles a common waste product to create a ‘palette’ of six simple yet elegant sculptures. He aims to transform a tree-filled landscape into an urban fabric of city high-rises. The revolving form of each tower allows for a magnificent and playful cacophony of lights. Each strip of energy-efficient LEDs will glow according to the movement of the expected 500,000 festival visitors.

Shutterstock Captures the Essence of the CreativeMornings Community
Reality is not passive; we actively shape it with our thoughts and actions. Our personal universe is based on the stories we tell ourselves and the worldview through which we look out into the world.
In May 2016, CreativeMornings and Shutterstock (one of our global partners that makes our work possible), celebrated the theme of Reality.
Shutterstock surprised the community in 10 cities—London, San Francisco, Montreal, New York City, Vancouver, Singapore, Toronto, Berlin, and Chicago—by hiring local photographers to capture the diversity and backgrounds of their own CreativeMornings community.
Not only do we get to observe and study the work that was produced, but to also enter into the minds' behind the camera—how does their worldview shape their work and what do they hope to communicate? How do they use their lens to capture reality, and at the same time, inspire us to look into a new direction to change our reality?
We are excited to share the full album of portraits of our global creative community.
Cadmans Cottage is the oldest surviving residential building in Sydney, having been built in 1816 for the use of the governmental coxswains and their crews. The building is heavily steeped in the history of Sydney, also claiming the title as the first building to have been built on the shoreline of The Rocks area.
It is claimed that during high tide, the water would come within 8 feet (2.4 m) of Cadmans Cottage; however, due to the reclamation of land during the building of Circular Quay, the waterline has moved about 100 meters away since 1816. The building has had several different uses in its lifetime—first and foremost as the abode of the four governmental coxswains (from 1816 until 1845), the headquarters of the Sydney Water Police (from 1845 to 1864) and as the Sailor's Home (from 1865 to 1970).
Restoration of Cadmans Cottage began in 1972 after it was proclaimed a Heritage site under the National Parks and Wildlife Act and control of the site was handed over to the Sydney Cove Redevelopment Authority.
A major archaeological investigation occurred in 1988 (in preparation for the bicentennial redevelopment) and since then, only minor maintenance works have been completed on the building. The building is now used as the home for the Sydney Harbour National Parks Information Center, and is able to be viewed by the public.
John Cadman was born in 1772 and was transported to Australia in 1797 at the age of 25 for the crime of stealing a horse. He was pardoned by the Governor Macquarie in 1821. He is the namesake of this building, and he lived in it as the Superintendent of Boats, with his wife and two stepdaughters, from 1827 until his retirement in 1845, staying a total of 18 years, the longest time served by a governmental coxswain until the position was abolished after Cadman's retirement.
Here, Cadmans Cottage, is seen lit up as part of Vivid Sydney 2012.

Every time I travel overseas I am confused by the mass of electrical wiring tacked to the outside of houses and businesses. I don't quite get it. Doesn't seem very safe and it sure can be an eyesore.
This for the Global Creative Photography Project's Theme of Electronics. Not what I wanted to do for it but it's something...

My entry for week 2 of Behind the Lens - Global Creative Photography Project. The theme for the week was upside-down and I had tried out a few ideas and in the end they just turned out bad. After talking with some people the only other idea I had would've been similar to this but I just really liked this one that I took a couple weeks so I figured I would add this one instead.
