Oh my god.
If I see one more post about LOST, I’m going to poke skewers through my eyeballs. But you’d all like to see that, wouldn’t you?! Sadistic bastards.

Secret Women’s Business vol. II →
Ah, women’s troubles. 50% of the population knows what I’m talking about, the rest either run in terror, or become longsuffering partners. I’m no stranger to the horrors of period pain and wild hormonal fluctuations, and the wrath of the monster of women’s periods can be a very difficult animal to tame. Just ask most men. On one hand I feel sorry for them, but on the other I wish that there was...

Simon Napier-Bell on the music industry →
atherdiscretion: misterpeace: Oh God, it’s horrible Yes. Yes it is. And I wish people would stop asking me why I don’t want to go back to working for a major label. Every single day it is less appealing. As fun as the job can be, my desire is now in the negative.

'Project 365'
bobjansen: From of tomorrow I will start a ‘Project 365’. I will try and upload a photo everyday from something I see or experience outdoors. I seem to be doing this a lot lately, but Bob, if you want to join the Project 365 Tumblr Group/Channel thingy, just send me an email and I’ll send you an invite. :).

Ledger not in it for the fame: father →
I’m glad he’s on his way home. This circus has been bothering me and, although I didn’t know Heath Ledger, I do understand how he never bought into the Hollywood bullshit, and why that sensibility continues through his family after his death. He is from Perth, after all.

Thanks for the music →
— butterflyeffect True fact. I used to choose my boyfriends based on their taste in music. But i was in high school so it ok. I only have one ex-boyfriend whose musical taste i can respect because even when i don’t like something i can still acknowledge the fact that it’s ‘good.’ When i spoke to him last i confessed i had given up on music lately and had reverted back to...
Taking photos in public
The people who protest about me taking out my camera the most are my family and i often, unless they’re the kids, have to take pictures on the sly. Anyway. I feel a bit left out. Project 365 sounds like such a great idea. I might start taking a picture everyday starting on my 24th birthday in March. — jessicalouise Jessica, if you want to be part of Project 365, you can start whenever...

I’ve been thinking about butterflyeffect’s recent post about the girls who gave her crap for taking photos in a shopping centre. Erockappel made a post around a month ago about a similar incident in New York — in which an old man and woman loudly proclaimed he must be a tourist to carrying his camera around the city with him. While there’s no question that digital cameras have turned us into a...

Because it’s Australia Day and all. 5. You’ve made a bong out of your garden hose rather than use it for something illegal such as watering the garden. 22. You know that certain words must, by law, be shouted out during any rendition of the Angels’ song Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. 31. You understand that “you” has a plural and that it’s...

I have to admit I don’t follow, or know very much about the sport of boxing. The spectacle of people punching the bejeebuz out of each other kind of fills me with some kind of empathic pain…. and I don’t enjoy pain. I could count the number of professional boxer’s names I can recall on one hand. I enjoyed the first Rocky film. Does that count for anything?
A few years ago I remember a big...

yesterday was a successful day of photography.
someone recently asked me what the secret to photography is. i responded with one thing. but now that i think about it, i’ll just give some suggestions. 1: check your edges and check your corners. if you ever want to become good at photography you need to do this in order to train yourself to be mindful of composition. move around; your first instinct from your eye’s perspective is...
