Hi everyone :) I’m really busy at the moment adding my photography to Google Maps. It’s nearly beyond me but I think I am getting there slowly. One of the main reasons I am doing this is because I put a full page advert in the local paper here the other day and I wanted to give locals an idea of exactly where the photos were taken (just felt like it might add interest to those that know the area). At the moment it is a tedious task for me and is keeping me pretty busy, but at the same time I would love a little feedback and maybe some help as well ;) If you want to see what I have done on Google Maps right now (just Kellerberrin and surrounds at the moment) have a look HERE If you have Google Earth and would like to sit back and see a guided tour of where I have taken these photos, right click and saveTHIS file to your harddrive, then run it and it should open up in Google Earth for you, then just press Play and fly around all the locations :) You need to have Google Earth installed on your puter to be able to use it, if you want to download it use this LINK (15MB) If anyone is a little more savvy with either GM’s or GE’ and can think of something I can do to make this loot more presentable I would love your help. For others, your feedback on what you think would be very much appreciated. I would hate to be wasting my time doing this if it’s sorta worthless. Thanks :) :)

LIES PERCEPTIONS AND BELIEFS BY RL HALL AND LINAJI A collaboration of loving work between rlhall & linaji – Webs & Layers Your Spiritual side is wise, intuitive, creative, loving, compassionate, peaceful, forgiving, always aspiring to truth and goodness – or – your life is lived in confusion, anger, and perhaps, even, layers of lies and deceit.” ~ Dr. John Sarno, The Divided Mind “If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?” / ~ Dogen “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.” ~ Antoine Saint-Exupéry “If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.” ~ William Blake _“Believe that your life is worth living, and your belief will create the fact.” ~ William James Acceptance ~ Robert Frost When the spent sun throws up its rays on cloud / And goes down burning into the gulf below, / No voice in nature is heard to cry aloud / At what has happened. Birds, at least must know / It is the change to darkness in the sky. / Murmuring something quiet in her breast, / One bird begins to close a faded eye; / Or overtaken too far from his nest, / Hurrying low above the grove, some waif / Swoops just in time to his remembered tree. / At most he thinks or twitters softly, ‘Safe! / Now let the night be dark for all of me. / Let the night be too dark for me to see / Into the future. Let what will be, be.’_ _Layers of Beliefs I have unfurled my wisdom / And before me / I only know / Truths / That have been born and branded / By my hand / How can it be any other way? I have heard and have been told / Of / About / Yours… / But My core is the listener / The one who knew before the knowing / Or of the Telling We are parted now.. / maybe for 4 years or 10 / Maybe it is not again But the knowing you / Was like a root plant / Better left in the shade of its’ own calling Than to open to the sun of my smile / Or yours. Past Lives are just that, / Past.. The Now that pulsates and thrives Has been dropped from view.. It is no longer about you Time for a new lesson Time for a new view._ Thank You Everyone, espically RL Hall for linking into my heart and for setting up most of this show.. her finding the amazing quotes from our favorite poets and leaders made the core of our work shine!! What a pleasure this collaboration was between us!

It was March 2005, somewhere near St Kilda....
It was March 2005, somewhere near St Kilda. I was sitting in a room, on a sofa propped on milk crates, staring at the ceiling. Around my neck was a Philadelphia collar and in my hand was a bottle of gin. The collar was the only sign that I had recently broken my C1, 2 & T1 the gin was to stop me thinking about it. I was staring at the ceiling because it was reasonably tricky to stare anywhere else. I sat quietly contemplating my future. Next to me was a chap called Christopher Lansell, Crispy to his comrades, whom I’d known about 8 minutes. He started talking about some things, wild, imaginative things, I started to reply, and back he came with more, this went on quite successfully for a while. One of these crazy things was an idea he’d been playing with to install a 1:1 billion scale model of the Solar System somewhere in Melbourne. It seemed quite a good idea to me. Almost without any warning at all it was 9am on December 10 of that year, my return ticket to the UK forgotten in the back of a drawer somewhere, and 6 months out of date, my neck visible to all who cared to glance. I’m crouched at the door to our St Kilda studio, attempting to drill a hole into Pluto, except this Pluto is only 2mm in diametre, which makes it very tricky. And in half an hour it’s meant to be on a plinth somewhere near Port Melbourne. / / / / Building the Sun Having drummed up some media interest through an interview on ABC radio and an article in The Age and spent a few months constructing the Sun and nine planets by hand we were actually within minutes of taking our disjointed conversation live. / / / / / Painting the Planets / Planet bases Pluto / Mars / Neptune / Saturn / Jupiter / Having finally secured Pluto to it’s stand, we threw all the models in the back of a trailer and hightailed it to the beach, as we roared along the approach to the marina there was a sudden, and slightly sickening crunch. Crispy braked, we looked at each other in silent fear, then out through the back window of the Toyota. Rolling down the road in the vague direction of Acland Street was a 1.39m golden ball of plywood and satin. Hmmm. We exited the car at speed and, to the amusement of the residents, sprinted off after the star. It was not entirely unscathed, but it was still presentable, and anyway, we were out of time. The weekend was long and disgustingly hot, but the model was a success, large numbers of families turned up on their bikes, with their children, The Age article folded in their pockets, planning to ride the full 6km route to Pluto. And being mid summer the beach and passing traffic was plentiful. Seeing kids stand under the 1.28cm hand painted sphere that was Earth (I even managed to dust the Himalayas with some snow) and point out Australia before running 150m to the Sun and smacking it with their ice cream stained hands was quite rewarding. / Earth, a man with a beard & the Moon, which is as far as Man has ever actually travelled, allegedly. (But not the man with the beard, he may have been no further than Geelong, I don’t know) Mars / The Sun / / / By Sunday night we were knackered but content. Then things started getting interesting. Tony Wheeler, co-founder of Lonely Planet rang us up, said he’d heard about the project but had been out of the country and wondered if he could come and see the models, we, unsurprisingly said yes. Then the council rang us up and said they’d had a lot of calls from the general public asking when they were going to do the project again. They said they hadn’t done it in the first place. It was about this point that words like ‘permanent’ began to appear in conversations. We found a sculptor, Cameron Robbins, an eccentric and extremely talented man based in Collingwood, and commenced talks with the council. It was estimated at costing around $70,000, and so the tedious process of money raising became the focus, Tony pledged a large sum of his personal finances, as did some universities. Things looked good. Then the university pulled out, and we experienced our first wedge of bureaucratic council red tape. Things look bad. And that high and low was a microcosm of how it progressed for the next two years. With a hefty focus on the ‘This is just never going to happen’ line of thought. But now, three years and six months after a conversation on a sofa in St Kilda, there are some people down at the foreshore tidying up the metre high bluestone plinths the planets rest on, and no doubt someone polishing the 360kg of bronze that makes up the Sun, in preparation for the opening on September 21. And I’m going to miss it, because I’m in London, so if you have nothing better to do please pop down to the reserve north of the Marina at 4.45, take some photos, get yourself an epic sense of how fragile and unique Earth really is and give Crispy some support for the endless phone calls and meetings and rolls and rolls of tape he’s deftly sliced through. Pouring the bronze Planets / Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus cooling off / Half of the Sun / All of the Sun / Polishing the Sun / The sculptor Cameron Robbins next to polished Sun / Saturn / Venus, Mars, Earth, Mercury & Pluto (yeah it’s not a planet anymore, but it was then) / Pouring concrete base for the Sun / Diamond saw cutting bluestone plinths for the planets / Plinths being lifted into place / / The Sun being moved into place / / / / Model Location / And if you ever see anyone chasing an enormous shining sphere down a road, go and give them a hand.

Sometimes, in order to preserve myself and feel in control, I just have to shut out the wider world for a while… make it a little smaller and more manageable so that I can see where I fit into it, instead of getting lost within it, and then things don’t feel quite so overwhelming.The wider world with all of it’s seemingly out of control problems can wait for a while, it’ll still be there when I’m ready to fit back into it again, in the meantime, I’m going to take a small bite of it, roll it around on my tongue and appreciate its flavour, lol, kind of like going on an earth diet and digesting smaller portions of bigger problems. Sometimes it’s just nice to assume a lower profile, to sit back quietly and let go of the reigns to see where the ride takes you, leastwise, that’s where I’m sitting right now… The world is the size of my bedroom, I’ll confront it one room at a time.

How many we believe in extraterrestrial life? .. how many denied that extraterrestrial life may exists on another planet! / there are many hidden things.. many secrets that could never open ever! we can’t deny when eye find evidence and see things connected with life existing outside the planet Earth! / / Science have just contradicted! but .. what Bible says.. / / “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”—Genesis 1:1 / / Science or God .. / God and extraterrestrial life! / it seems the two stories contradict each other! / statements and pieces of evidence can be so different from each other that one of them must be wrong. / a creature from another world.. / aliens from outer space.. / we all have the ability to think in a logical way and understand things.. / some of us are formidably intelligent but you ever see aliens from outer space? / believe it or not but Vatican says aliens could exist! / The Pope’s chief astronomer says that life on Mars cannot be ruled out. / / / / Writing in the Vatican newspaper, the astronomer, Father Gabriel Funes, said intelligent beings created by God could exist in outer space. Father Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory near Rome, is a respected scientist who collaborates with universities around the world. The search for forms of extraterrestrial life, he says, does not contradict belief in God. The official Vatican newspaper headlines his article ‘Aliens Are My Brother’. ‘Free from sin’ Just as there are multiple forms of life on earth, so there could exist intelligent beings in outer space created by God. And some aliens could even be free from original sin, he speculates. Asked about the Catholic Church’s condemnation four centuries ago of the Italian astronomer and physicist, Galileo, Father Funes diplomatically says mistakes were made, but it is time to turn the page and look towards the future. Science and religion need each other, and many astronomers believe in God, he assures readers. To strengthen its scientific credentials, the Vatican is organising a conference next year to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of the author of the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin. BBC News, Rome FORMER NASA astronaut and moon-walker Dr Edgar Mitchell – a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission – has also stunningly claimed aliens exist. Mitchell claims alien contact cover-up! Daylight footage: UFOs over Europe / And he says extra-terrestrials have visited Earth on several occasions – but the alien contact has been repeatedly covered up by governments for six decades. Dr Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview that sources at the space agency who had had contact with aliens described the beings as ‘little people who look strange to us.’ He said supposedly real-life ET’s were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head. He claimed our technology is “not nearly as sophisticated” as theirs and “had they been hostile”, he warned “we would have been gone by now”. statements and pieces of evidence can be so different from each other that one of them must be wrong. but what it shows.. / a creature from another world exists? / aliens from outer space? / so there could exist intelligent beings in outer space created by God? / And some aliens could even be free from original sin? / who knows…

Nat’s kicked off a challenge over here / / So a question for Red Bubble’s talented photographers … what’s the photo you’re most proud of and why? These kind of stories would make a great journal entry so if you’ve got some spare time in the next few days, why not tell us about yours? / / Not an easy thing, to choose one image over all others as a favorite. / I love taking random shots of just about anything but it’s those shots that have been manifesting inside my head for months and when they eventually come out as envisioned, well that kinda makes my month!! :D / / Born From This Earth & Taken By the Wind / / / / This image began its journey about four months before its capture, when a small group of us went up to Aradale Assylum (much love to Melissa Kirkham for her organisation skills). / It was a couple of days after my original trip up to Aradale that I went to Spotlight and purchased 6 meters of red satin and blue satin, I already knew what I wanted to see. / I had the wonderful fortune that Bronwen Hyde was also going up to Aradale and agreed to spend some creative time with me and my metal duct, Born From This Earth idea! / She has that beautiful and intense gaze that I knew would be perfect for this kind of image and I was rapt when she said “Yeah, I’ll get in that thing!!” :D / I can remember using an off camera flash and practising throwing the satin and setting off the camera shutter remotely for at least an hour! / Thank heavens that Bronwen’s friend Karen helped out with throwing the red satin, so I could just concentrate on the camera. / Now, how many shots do you think it took before this particular shot prevailed? Hmmm? / I’ll let you guess for a little while! / / The series Born From This Earth is now completed. It metaphorically evokes deep and sometimes playful visions and emotions and has been in development since August 2008.

30-12-09 Abso-bloomin-lutely Phantasmagorically Good News!!!!!!!!!! That ‘on-loan’ Canon EOS D60 camera and its associated Canon 28-135 USM IR Lens I have been using since my dear departed Milady Fuji (S9600) suffered death by salt water, is now / ALL MINE!!!!!!!!!! It is all thanks to the generosity and friendship of my Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club friend Greg Brayley and the love and generosity of my youngest Son Michael. My mate Greg rang me two days before Christmas and told me to consider the camera as a Christmas present and the very next day I received a Christmas card from young Michael containing not only well wishes but a Money Order for enough dough to cover the cost of buying the lens from Greg. I cannot find the words to fully describe my feelings of gratitude and admiration for these two men. I am over the moon and forever in their debt. Thus endeth Dennis’ Fuji bridge camera era and thus beginneth his Canon DSLR era. Wotta blast eh?! GB all. / Dennis
