home about photos phd v1.0

I found this NYTimes magazine story to be incredibly interesting; a side-by-side photo comparison of real people and their online avatars. Picked up from reddit.

Yesterday was the official Brisbane Zombie Walk. During our parkour training session I was lucky enough to snap off the following picture. You can find more photos here, and a short BBC article about the event here.

If you're looking for the photo Night Sky, following the link. If you would like a larger version, or one with the watermark removed, please contact me.

Like many digital camera initiates I went through a brief phase of art photography. I don't consider my works to posses any real artistic merit; however there has been one photo which has garnered significant attention, Night Sky. I can't tell you for sure how many image views this work has had; something in the order of 20,000 to 30,000 at least. The gallery page for Night Sky currently reports around 11,000 hits but you really have to go looking in order to find that page; most people directly link the image which doesn't effect the counter.

I've found the photo scattered across the Internet, typically either as a derivative work or a MySpace background (quite popular). I don't mind, I'm glad one of my works could bring a little happiness to people.

While browsing the BBC's The Press Photographer's Year, I came across this mildly disturbing image. The rest of the images were rather enjoyable.
