My family bought some new dining room chairs. They were delivered today.
This is a simple stop motion animation of my brother and his box.
An Update
February 23rd, 2010
Today my HOYA Polarizer arrived. Which is quite impressive seeing as it was coming from Hong Kong. Unfortunately, today’s sky is of the overcast type which severely impeded on my ability to test the polarizer with a clear sky and a solid sun.
Despite this, I’m already seeing some major difference in reflections and tones. Something previously unseen with my old, blurry MASSA Polarizer.
Also, you may have noticed I haven’t been spitting out artworks at a very fast rate. I can’t really blame year 11 because it isn’t school’s fault. I just haven’t really done much recently. The weather hasn’t been all that amazing and I haven’t really been anywhere special.
Last of all, the other day I purchased a Premium membership on deviantart.com. If you haven’t already checked out my page there, I encourage you too, despite it containing largely the same content as this site. Maybe you’ll find something I did ages ago.

Another shot from my trip to La Perouse. This one was taken as we were driving home.
Vein

A shot from a trip to La Perouse with andyjimmy. The rocks there were unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Like veins in the ground.
The Second Wave
February 9th, 2010
After owning a decent SLR camera for about 6 months now, I’ve been observing the kind of mental stages I’ve gone through since getting it. It’s very interesting seeing how I’ve gone from complete excitement and confidence to a bit of a slump where I start to think that maybe forking out $900 for a 1000D wasn’t such a good idea.
Before the SLR
It really all started a year ago, on a family holiday in New Zealand. With such awesome land and waterscapes passing us by every single day, it was hard not to try and capture some of it on camera. Of course back then, all I had was a Kodak point and shoot, or as I called it, the point and pray. So with that clutched in my hand, I ended up taking endless amounts of photos. They were mostly terrible, and sadly not all due to the camera. Despite being halfway through a photography course, I really wasn’t that good.

Happy deviantDAY
February 7th, 2010
deviantART as got to be one of the nicest social networks ever. It remembered my deviantART registration anniversary. Today marks one year since I first signed up, and looking back, it has been the most rewarding social network I’ve ever been on.
Twitter hasn’t really given me much in terms of input. I just give out, and out, and out. And I am greeted with a general silence.
Various forums have never been very good either. Then again, I’ve never really immersed myself in any of them. I usually only join out of necessity.
and facebook, what can I say about facebook? Facebook, is still a joke.

Rainy Day
February 6th, 2010
The recent rain in Sydney has been fun to photograph. Took this shot while balancing an umbrella in one hand, and my camera in another.
Pressing the Word
January 31st, 2010
Previously, embed design was a static site. Whenever I wanted to update a new artwork, I would have to go through a tiresome process of editing the HTML manually. Each month, I would have to create a new index.htm and shift the old pages back, editing the navigation as I went along. The more months went by, the more pages I would have to annoyingly edit each month. It was an exponential process which, given time, would compile to an infinitely insurmountable task.
I knew, that like all other versions of embed-design.com, I would eventually grow tired of these constant static changed, and leave my site desolate in a dark corner of the vast interwebs.
Enter, Wordpress.

Bunker
January 30th, 2010
An old military bunker on the south head of Sydney harbor. The product of some night photography with friends. This time was more successful despite the intermittent rain.
