Gotta love Annie’s commercial shoots. So expensive, yet so brilliant. Very reminiscent of renaissance paintings, which I guess is what she was going for. The scenes were taken from the DVD Annie Leibovitz: Life Through a Lens annie leibovitz shoots mary antoinette which is quite a good documentary, written, produced and directed by Annie’s sister, Barbara Leibovitz, in honour of their mother.

Just a few photographs I took last night in the carpark of Eastland Shopping Centre in Ringwood, Victoria. My broken tripod was a bit annoying, couldn’t get it high enough to shoot over walls/rails.

The first Harry Potter film I ever saw was the forth instalment: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Not having seen any of the previous films or read any of the books, I actually found myself enjoying the movie. I do love to read books, but I also enjoy a well sorted movie.

Aside from the fact that the episode was dull, they also declared the Honda FCX Clarity “the future of motoring”. This would have been fine, except they glossed over some of the issues involved.

part 1 // part 2 // part 3 // part 4

The 6 weeks I had in Cambodia were an amazing experience, and since I only took a single point and shoot camera with me, I was able to experience it without the burden of having to lug around large DSLR equipment or worry about theft. If I were to travel with just a point and shoot camera again though, there would be a few things I’d do differently.
