The second of the two-parter. I had this crazy idea to do a picture that looked like when a character had to eat a boot in old cartoons. I added the colored vignette, desaturated it, and upped the clarity to give it an otherworldly feel.

Playing with images that to me evoke the mystery of the people who settled in New Zealand, and their passing. Despite thier hardships and challenges, they survived, and their legacy lives on in the names of suburbs, roads, parks, buildings - and in our blood. This is my inheritance,

Even before the event, this girl was the heavy favourite. She won too!

Yet another photo of Howie. This one was processed using my new Nik Software Aperture plug ins, specifically Color Efex Pro. This is the Kodachrome 64 Professional program. I like it.

Been off line for awhile, had a few things going on - sorry - hope to get back in the swing of things again soon :P

Big day today - I finally made the jump, maybe partly on impulse (but informed impulse) but a jump none the least.

I traded in my iPhone for a HTC Desire :O

I'm not going to review it yet - I need time to adjust. Sure, so far it seems less flowing than my iPhone, but I had that for over a year and could work it in my sleep. The Desire is bound to seem weird at first.

It is nice though :D

Took this shot in my back garden - it was rushed and not really thought out - but I like it.

Raining here - hope you guys are all well ......

Bigger on black.

The Beautifull View in Bandung. The road was so not good and dangerous.

Note : too many noise. I read that slow shutterspeed could increase noise. Next time, it should be setted on iso >400.

This day wept on my shoulders

Still the same as yesterday

This path seem endless, body is numb

The soul has lost its flame

Walking in familiar traces..

..to find my way back home

Dodge burn clarify declarify contrast fun.
