I have always enjoyed table top RPGs (think Dungeons and Dragons). I wanted to capture the anticipation and uncertainty in rolling a die that would have an impact on the story and game you are playing in. For this object photo I also wanted to experiment with some photo editing software. I used GIMP, a free Photoshop like program, to manipulate "color balance" and "hue saturation" in order bring out the purples, greens, and blues in what was originally a clear, somewhat bland, die. I took the photo on a piece of felt with all the lights turned off in my house, using only the flash.
An 11 is not a great roll when you can get a 20, but the imperfect roll of the die, with the tantalizing prospect of seeing a perfect 20, makes this a meaningful image to me.

Phải nói đây là quán cà phê mình thích nhất từ trước đến nay. Lầu nhìn ra 4 phía, hướng nào view cũng đẹp, gió thổi lồng lộng kèm theo không gian yên tĩnh và sâu lắng một cách lạ thường của Kinh Thành Huế khiến cho người ta đã đến sẽ chẳng muốn về :)

Eglise Saint-Martin (XII/XVIIe siècles) à Fexhe-le-Haut-Clocher
Le clocher (le clocher de Fexhe était le plus haut des villages environnants) a été détruit par la foudre en 1642. Les paroissiens de Fexhe et de ses dépendances (Noville, Voroux, Goreux, Roloux et Freloux) déboursèrent 2000 florins brabant pour la reconstruction d’un nouveau clocher.
Seul le curé de Fexhe avait le droit d’administrer les sacrements : les habitants de Goreux et Voreux étaient donc obligés de s‘y rendre les jours de baptême, mariage, etc.
Fexhe-le-Haut-Clocher est une commune francophone de Belgique située en Région wallonne dans la province de Liège.
En moins de trente ans sa vocation essentiellement rurale a évolué avec l'accroissement et la diversification de la population. La présence proche de l'aéroport de Liège, la proximité des autoroutes Liège-Bruxelles et Liège-Namur ainsi que le retour à la campagne, sont d'autres facteurs qui ont influencé la vie locale.
S'étendant sur 1.876 Ha, l'entité regroupe cinq villages : Fexhe(-le-Haut-Clocher), Freloux, Noville, Roloux et Voroux-Goreux
A very long chain of events meant that it was sensible to get a new phone - so I went expensive.
The manual's 207 pages + appendicies and index. Might take a while to work out how it all works.
But it does make phone calls.
I knew this chain, roping off a monument, would make a neat picture. Love the bokeh!!
Action: My In A Hurry
There's a place in South Yarra called Misty's Diner that sells what I gather is considered authentic American food. Naturally, it's a total hit amongst my friends, what with us tending toward the "robust", but my friend Brendan and I had never been. Until yesterday. I think I'm now addicted to Chil ...

This is part of a set of silverware my mom got before she married. Something about the size and slender but comfortable handle makes these spoons my favorie for eating cereal or cottage cheese. The forks of this set were all deco-weird and unusable, and i have long since lost the butter knives, but the 4 spoons that i still have are the ones I always reach for in the silverware drawer.

Gathering together art historians, artists, and curators, this daylong symposium discussed how the proclamation of the "end" of the art object, a statement that was made in a startling number of locations around the world ca. 1970, demonstrated the end of both aesthetic and political modernity, and the advent of a decentered globalism characterized more by crisis than by revolution. Speakers included Stefano Chiodi, Romy Golan, Nicolas Guagnini, Amelia G. Jones, Branden Joseph, Lee Ufan, and Mika Yoshitake. The symposium was followed by a reception.
Presented in conjunction with Lee Ufan:Marking Infinity, on view through September 28, 2011.
