Messy Space

My spacestation is quite messy at the moment. A lot of wiring to do.

The Ring

Apparantly, I got some sort of picture challenge from Johannes, so okey, I can play, for now, this time.

There were rules. To choose the fourth or seventh picture folder and then choose the fourth or seventh picture and then tell something about the pic.

So I found this old picture I shot in the studio at school last year or something. Shot on 4x5 film with a monorail Cambo camera. Borrowed the little fairy from my housemate Veronica and built the little "set" in a lightbox with stuff I found on the way to the studio.

So now I'm actually supposed to send the "challenge" to someone else :p Like a good old curse. But as I actually dont like these stuff I'm not gonna. It ends here! HA! But if you want, find an old pic and tell something about it. :)

It's Alive!

My book arrived today after a long wait. Looking at the shipment tracking it went through; Seattle, California, Alaska, Singapore and eastern Australia before arriving here today. Which was a bit unfortunate because I thought it would get printed in Sydney so it would get here faster. But, it's here now and I'm really satisfied with it. Blurb.com did an awesome job printing the book for me. These are just some of the photos from the book which is as I wrote before, 100 pages long.

Spectrum Project Space Exhibition

Five of my artworks and photographs will be included in this years A4 exhibition at Spectrum Project Space in Northbridge, Perth. Be theeeere or be a flight engineer, elsewhere or everywhere, here and there in this difficult financial year!

Reincarnation

Some early edits from Mondays shoot at the Natural History Museum in Guilford. Nicky and Belinda did a great job modelling and Joshua assisted with the lighting. Blogspot is really ruining the quality of the photos so sorry for that. Will update my homepage later on with the entire series from that night and better quality.

EDIT: Updated with finished pics.

What I'm looking for

The first session features some of the photos I shot with my friend Veronica in the little beach suburb Cottlesloe. I had to feature at least three different garments but I choose also to have at least three different locations for that shoot. Joshua was with us to assist me with the flash.

The second series of photos features the WAAPA-dancer Alissa (Wester Australian Academy of Performing Arts). On this shoot I worked together with a fashion design student; Anita Gadenne who had made these really cool dresses. So the assignment was to showcase her dresses in a way that suited her and my taste.

Alissa was the perfect model for this shoot coz i really wanted to show the dresses in a "flowing" kind of way. I first had thought to use a ordinary model from the agency and to shoot it at the Art Gallery. But when that model didn't show up because of some miscommunication with the agency we had to cancel that shoot, which was really sad because the Art Gallery would also have been a perfect location to show off Anita's dresses. But it worked out anyway, I'm pretty pleased with the result anyway and I think Anita was pretty satisfied also.


This third batch of pictures is from my Images & Narratives assignment where we had to tell a story with text and pictures. Or at least with pictures. First I an idea that was about this character going to the European Space Agency's radio telescope (Space :P) close to New Norcia and his dream of coming as close to space as he could right now.

But I ended up doing another idea I got and did like a mystery novel containing pictures and journal entry's in this character Henry Bukowskis journal. Above is just a few pictures from the 23 double page spread story. I tried to make it as "multimedia" as possible by using photos, drawings, notes, maps, real letters sticky taped on the pages itself and other things. I also wanted to make a homepage for it which would've the reader be a part of the story even more but unfortunately I didn't have time for that.

Right now I'm forcing myself to drink this weird lemonish tea I got from my nice house mate Emma. I'm having a nasty cold and I'm on day three now which really annoys me. It disturbed my "going-on-a-walk-each-day-schedule" and some other stuff I really had to do.

OH by THE way. I'm moving out on December third! Me and some other people living in the village got a nice little letter a few weeks ago saying that we couldn't live in the student village anymore because we had lived there to long now and had had the village "experience". But on the same day as we got the notice Gordon found a really nice apartment that his friend was gonna leave behind. Sooo, me and Paige who also got kicked out, got to move into that apartment because Gordon could live here in the village next semester coz he's a newbie compared to me and Paige who have stayed here since mid 2007. But anyway, It feels great to finally have an own place to live in. We have a balcony also and it's really close to the liquor store and a supermarket :D.

Movie of the Month: Into the Wild.

After graduating from Emory University, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandons his possessions, gives his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhikes to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Along the way, Christopher encounters a series of characters that shape his life.

Read about the real story here. It's really interesting and a bit sad.

PS: Oh yeah, my website was up for a few days, or maybe just one as you may have noticed. The owner Uber.com went bankrupt or something some days after I joined them. WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!

Heroes

Yay! I finished (well almost anyway) my ads. Which is the second part of my assignment for the studio applications for advertising-class (the glassware was the first part).

I started a few days ago with some very rough sketches of the concept, but then i wasnt sure which direction i wanted for the pics so i tried a lot of different taglines for the ads which u can see in the sketches.
After i had done the sketches i went to Toys-R-Us in Morley to find the masks. Unfortunatley they only had really expensive full-set costumes so i thought i had to make my own masks for a while. Until i passed K-mart, good ol trustworthy K-mart. Or something. There i found these supercheap masks which was exactly what i was looking for. So i bought Spider-man, The Hulk, Optimus Prime (transformers) and Batman. I then had to organize the photoshoot and assemble the people; Joshua (batman), Stanley (the hulk), Nicky (spider-(wo)man and Tri (optimus prime).

And then yesterday afternoon (friday) we had the shoot in the business area of the city which had the perfect big-city-super-hero-kinda-feeling to it. On location i tried a few different things with my heroes and tried to find the right meaning for the pics, which eventually came through. Sadly enough, i can only hand in three pictures so unfortunatley The Hulk got left out. But im gonna edit that picture also and show it here eventually.

Started to edit the pics yesterday evening and kept on editing until 4am and then continued today. The ads are for a cinema company called Union Cinemas i made up (short for U.C, get it? :p).

I was actually really lucky with the finished shot coz i had only planned on to shoot in that area and in a bus stop, and some bench. But after first finding the bus stop for the Spider-man shot, which was relatively easy, we then found a little spot for another batman-photo that i havent edited, but turned out really good. We then walked by a building that we went into and asked if we could shoot in the lobby, but we had missed that it was a government building so no photography was allowed in there.

So we had to go out and as we walked down the street i noticed a really good area with some steps coming down and some tall buildings in the background, ideas started to come up in my mind and the perfect location for The hulk was found. Went in to buy a coffee in a café close by to use as a prop and then after i found the right angle we started to shoot. Everybody helped in that shoot by doing different tasks and we had a really good time.

After those pictures were done we found a van just opposite the stairs which was perfect for Optimus Prime to pose infront of. We didnt want to make it look like we were braking into the car so we had to shoot fast and then walk away. On the way from that location we walked by another really awesome lobby. Went in and asked if we could take a few pictures there and i got the above Batman shot from there. And then we were done and went home :)

See through

Glassware.

One of my assignments for Studio applications. We're just gonna use one pic so i cant decide which one im gonna choose. Stuff like this is so hard for me, decisionssss. Hate it :O I used these two vases from IKEA (smygreklam) that i bought last time i was there, after the shoot they served as birthday presents to Nicky and Stanley, wooh.

I just had a hallelulja moment regardin my other bigger photo assignment. So i have to take a break and draw it down. Laters

Meanwhile, enjoy this awesome video from DR SMOOV, Destro Featuring The Baroness - Get Money :

Drug deal in Perth

Förvirringen är total.

Till min förklaring måste jag tillägga att några glas vin hade druckits :).

EDIT: Almost forgot. The pics below are from my third shoot with Adele, who was really good this time also. We went into the city to the business district, the only part of Perth which actually feels like a big city. Stanley helped us this time also, thaanks alot!





EDIT 2: I have bought a new Moleskine notebook. Im on my third now and it feels great, GREAT! I felt like a kid on christmas after i'd bought it and me and some friends were on the train back home from Fremantle earlier this week. I asked Paige:
-maybe i should open it now? should i open it now? *giggling inside like a little schoolgirl*
-err.. yeah you can do that... ..
-maybe..maybe ill wait until i get home heh.. *cant stop thinking about it*

I waited till i got home and opened it by myself. i was in dreamland. The best thing about it, that its twice as big as my previous ones. So now i can make bigger and better drawings and paintings. I have already started on five different things and i have bought watercolour which is really fun, maybe i can posts some next time.

I feel, that i have to share some Moleskinerie with you people. But yes, i know its really not interesting for the uninterested, but considerings this is my blog so :p... here goes:

HOW TO UNWRAP A NEW MOLESKINE:

1. Unwrap the plastic
2. Pull the paper sleeve from the cover
3. Tuck the post card and stamps in the accordion pocket.
4. Kiss the history of Moleskine pamphlet, and reflect how fortunate you are to be using a notebook favored by Hemmingway and Van Gogh
5. Open the notebook, and turn to the middle, or thereabouts
6. Bury your nose between the pages, rooting as closely as possible to the spine.
7. Breath deeply
8. Repeat Step 7 until filled with a sense of well being
