5enses

and i haven’t posted anything here, its mainly due to the difficulties of actually getting access to the internet… also because of the lack of availibilty of computers It means I have no photos or videos to display at the moment.

Anyway, what has the past week held, wuite a bit…

We have been to Byron Bay, and the most easterly point of mainland Australia, William and I learned to surf in Surfers Paradise (yes that is the name of a town), we have been to Warner Bro’s Movieworld Theme Park, we have been to Brisbane, saw The Dark Knight last Wednesday night, it was Jason’s 22nd birthday on thursday, and it was my 22nd on Friday, we spent those in Noosa Heads, where Jason and Alan learned to surf and William and I just hired boards and practiced, then on friday we were in Hervey Bay, we had planned to go out on to Fraser Island the next day, but unfortuntely things didn’t work out and we headed on, we have been travelling for a couple of days and have now reached Airlie Beach, and the Whitsunday Islands, hopefully we will be heading out onto some of the islands in a couple of days, really looking forward to that, after that it will be on to Cairns. Today was Lorraine’s last day in Aus… she is probably currently boarding her flight from Sydney to London, I haven’t seen her in 2 and a half weeks, but i will see her in 3 and half… anyway I will try to post some photos when I get to Cairns, and I will try to post again in a few days…

It really is proving difficult to upload photos, here are a few from Adelaide and i think only one from Sydney… the dark one of Lori and I (with a pier kinda in the background) is about 5 minutes after I proposed…

We are currently in Singapore Airport, in the terminal there is a place called the Rainforest Lounge, which we are in, it costs $25 (singapore dollars) and we have had a shower, and unlimited food and drink, mainly snack foods, and there is free internet and big comfy seats. much better than your average airport, I was going to upload some photos for you to look at, but the internet is pretty slow, it was uploading for about 25 mins then the page didnt respond and it hadn’t uploaded them, so I will get them up when I get to Australia…

Us at the Grand Palace, Bangkok

I’m super busy with photography at the moment, between editing photos, and doing shoots, and all in the next 2 weeks before I jet off to Thailand, In the middle of august I will be having an exhibition of sorts as part of an event in Ballymena. I am going to display 10 photographs at it, i don’t really have time to sort out anymore because this has to be sorted before I go away as well. I would really love your input into this… so what I would like you to do is to go to my Flickr and pick out some photos that you thing would look good framed in an exhibition, and either comment on the photo on Flickr or comment on this post on my blog, or drop me an email to let men know. I’m gonna leave this open for a week, because I will have to order the prints next weekend in order to have them framed in time…

just some clarification… on a couple of points

• I have no ‘theme’ in mind
• The photos I choose in the end wont have any portraits, band shots or live music in them, i want to display the abstract/lansdcape/travel stuff…
• I would love to display some film, but unfortunately time doesn’t really allow…

3…2…1…. go….

Got a pretty cool wee application last night for my macbook, its called iAlertU, basically it uses the Sudden Motion Sensor in the Macbook to trigger a “car alarm” when the mac is lifted etc, it can also be configured to take a photo using the iSight camera, of the perpetraor, and email it to you…. here’s a wee demo…

you can get it Here
