Seashells - Photography

I just love the collection of seashells here. It reminds me of a treasure hunt or something.



Junk - Photography

I'm still trying to figure out if this is an artwork or just random pieces of junk... I took this photo at the 2009 Sculpture by the Sea Exhibition, so that's why I'm curious. It looks more like a random junk pitt to me... what do you think?


Car Accident - Photography

When I went overseas in 2010, on about our second day there, we had a major car incident. It was terrifying! It was the first time I was ever involved in such a major crash. These photos show the impact of the crash. It was a head-on collision with a truck. Apparently, the owner of the truck had an accident a few days or weeks earlier, and the cause was because he had a faulty break. Who drives with a faulty car? Luckily we all got out of there safe and sound. My mother only injured her ankle and heel but that got repaired in the 6 weeks we stayed overseas. My uncle softly injured his neck. I don't know if it's healed or anything. Hopefully it has. That's about all that happened. Don't even ask what the police did... they are so stupid over there. Someone needs to slap them out...

Peace - Photography

This would be the first EVER photo I took with my SLR camera. And because it turned out to be a great capture, I thought: 'This camera is going to rock my world!'

Coo-Coo Clock - Photography

We've had this coo-coo clock for about 11 years now or so, and it still works! I'm thinking of selling it one day... maybe when it reaches its 20 year peak. Could possibly earn a fortune! You never know... but then again, it's been with us throughout our lives in Australia. Maybe not, then...



Kiss Kiss - Photography

My FAVOURITE picture of all time! Love it! Love it! Love it! It was the day when we went to Stanwell Park. My brother took this photo of me kissing my cute little cousin. Perfect capture! And she was cranky that day... so we were lucky that she smiled for this take!


Inscriptions - Photography

From my two weeks of going to the National Art School last year, I never noticed the detail of the trees near Hyde Park and the Anzac Memorial. It happened to be on the last day when my friend and I were passing quite close near the trees that I noticed. I was astounded! The other thing too was the fact that the trees were white! Completely white! All the trees had little 'love inscriptions' on them - it was like a personal artwork of an artist! I'm glad I spotted this...



Fallen Leaves - Photography

I never noticed this little plant (mini-tree/flower - whatever it is!) in my backyard... absolutely love it! The green colour is vibrant and brings this fresh feeling or look into the plant. Though, it is quite subject to little insects... lots of mini eggs I see... or at least I think they are eggs from insects. Hopefully not spiders or something... But what I like most, is the third photo. I thought it was a good capture. The dead leaves look amazing crumpled and brown - great juxtaposition against the bright green of the plant! (Seems weird calling it a 'plant'... I really have to find out what it is!)

Addams Family - Film

Well, well, well. Looks like there's going to be a new production of 'The Addams Family' by famous director, Tim Burton. Here is an article by Mike Gold on his thoughts about the new production of the Addams Family that is soon to be made. What are your thoughts?

Tim Burton To Tackle Charles Addams?

It was a long, long running series of one-panel cartoons. It was an iconic teevee series. It was subject of two pretty decent movies. It was almost a DC Comic by Mike Baron and Bill Wray. It is the subject of a Broadway play that opened last week to mediocre reviews. And now it looks like The Addams Family will be a Tim Burton movie.

But with a twist. This adaptation will be based upon Charles Addams’s misanthropic cartoons in the New Yorker magazine and not in the spirit of the teevee series. Woo-Hoo!

According to Deadline Hollywood, it isn’t a done deal and Burton and pal Johnny Depp are preparing their version of Dark Shadows. One wouldn’t want Burton to get typecast, right?

Either way, Universal Studios paid for the rights and it’s possible the movie might actually get made. If it winds up being a Burton-less adaptation of the musical I wouldn’t be surprised, although neither Nathan Lane nor Bebe Neuwirth are known as big box office. No matter what, as long as they get the theme song in, I’ll be happy.


Princess - Photography

Nice pose. Nice capture. Right in the moment when I said 'Smile!' She had come over for me to put some make-up on her - her favourites: eye shadow, nail polish (namely, pink), blush and lipstick. I thought, because she look gorgeous, I'd take a few shots of her. This one would be the best. Her eyes have this warmth and honesty in them, this innocence that takes your breath away. This photo seems, to me, like a memory that has been caught before it was forgotten: a memory that is to be cherished and remembered forever. It speaks to you. Shows you the value of youth and love, yes. Always and forever my little Princess!
