Not so crazy an idea now is it? huh? Yeah! Take that! and that! I will add that Melinda Kerr really is a beautiful person and a knockout chick ;).

Now, before all you real photographers come lunging at me with pitchforks and fiery torches, I want you to take note of the asterisks on the title. My beef is with the shutterbugs who flood these sites with everything they think qualifies as photography. I’m talking about the one’s who take pics at their kids birthday party, their dog or cat rolling around on the grass, the rustic old shack down the road, their wife or girlfriend stepping out of the shower(or some other equally unerotic pose), their vacation photos, etc. These are the one’s who take a picture of a bird on a wire, 10 different ways, and post them all. One shot of the old barn isn’t good enough. Why not take 20 more, get it from every damn angle. And post them all. How about the macro shot of the flower, always a banal treat. Oh, and don’t bother with that pesky focusing. Don’t want you to get slowed down. Now, I’m sure I’ll get replies like “Well, there’s just as many bad “artists”. This may be true, but it takes a lot longer to make a bad painting or drawing than it does a bad photograph. And you only can post one version of bad art. It matters not, because the bad art will never be seen, getting pushed out by 50 more bad photos. True, there are some serious photographers on these sights, one’s with knowledge of lighting, composition and color. One’s who have their own darkroom and equipment. One’s with serious commitment to their craft, and a discerning eye for what worked and what didn’t. But even their work gets buried under the schlock. If some of these digi-dummy’s would use more restraint and discrimination with their choices, maybe it wouldn’t be so hard to see the forest for the trees. If they thought to themselves “How can I put a fresh spin on this subject?” or “Should I bother, it’s been done to death?” , these sites would be a tad roomier. I made the mistake, when I first joined, of putting a few of these members on my watchlist. Now, I’m inundated every morning, with a new barrage of photographic excrement. I even tried taking them off the list, to no avail. It just keeps coming, like some Twilight Zone episode starring Pauly Shore. Moral of this story, is that I pick and chose after I see the work, now, and that the best place to show these pics, is at your next Christmas party. Digital cameras, the slide projectors of the new millenia.

I have been waiting ages to get photoshop as I have hundreds of ideas going round in my head and I didnt have the tools to produce tham. / I have been lent a copy of photoshop to try out before I buy the full version and I have no clue where to start. / I have found a basic tutorial online, which explains thins in dummy terms (great for me) but I am so impatient that things are just not happening for me. / Does anyone know of any good sites that will help or books etc. / As it stands at the moment I hate photoshop and my head is going to burst as there are to many ideas in there. / Someone please help before I make a dreadful mess.

I’m waiting for my new puppy to be born – and it is driving me INSANE. There are two possible colours in this litter and I only want one – so 50% chance there. I also want a boy, so 50% there too! All could go wrong and it could be females of the wrong colour! I’ve been waiting properly for three days now – I’ve watched the bitch sitting down a lot on webcam but still no whelping! Hurry up puppies!!!

In these environmental times… What emotions make people fight for this? In the southern hemisphere Christmas is in the hottest time of the year, it’s only been in the last 10 or so years that the ‘trend’ of Christmas lights (ala National Lampoon) has taken hold (sadly as with halloween there is no ‘tradition’ in Australia for this, just people wanting to keep up with their neighbours and seduced by the global marketing sphere influenced by the north). Imagine how many emissions are burned in the month of December alone… It’s not a huge sacrifice to not have them on, in fact if you rely on flashing lights to enjoy the season, I have my concerns… Or, at least, burn them only for an hour one night a week… In my neighbourhood they burn all night every night from the middle of November (admittedly the ‘green thinking’ aging council population and the ‘news’ paper encourage this by holding competitions…) I will start my campaign this year… NO CHRISTMAS LIGHTS FOR THE GOOD OF THE EARTH… ARGUING WITH ME IS FRUITLESS, AS THEY ARE PURELY DECORATIVE AND UNNECESSARY … I GOT THROUGH EVERY ONE OF MY CHRISTMASES AS A KID WITH A SINGLE STRING OF TREE LIGHTS. Mind you, we barely had a phone a tv or a car… so…

Hi my dear red bubblers…. I am sorry to have been absent but I have a good excuse!! I have been collaborating with some of my fellow RB’s (JOVAN DE MELO) on my First book that now has its website up and running- www.ihatecinderella.com We will have a launch at Dymocks in the city in June/July ( as well one in QLD and VIC) I will keep you all posted as it woul be great to meet some of you at the launch and RED BUBBLE is mentioned on the page as the palace where Jovan and I met! All moving along well on this front and also did a shoot with Nicole Pearce over the weekend through the rocks which raised many an eyebrow!! I hope all is well, the amazing art that is coming out at the moment is UNREAL!!!! Cheers / Amanda

So so much. I am sitting here trying to get my company accounts to balance. I have more hope of getting an elephant and an ant to balance. (On a see-saw that is). See I can’t even do jokes. I hate GST. So so much. I’ve walked the dog…twice, just to get away form the computer. I drunk two coffees. So now I can’t even sleep although my accounting is pushing me close. (My dog however is exhausted and off to the land of nod). Why did I ever start my own business?? Oh yeah…office politics…I hate it… Oh for a bit of… in my life…hmmm and what’s peace without… To think just two weeks ago I was in ...Colorado… And could it be almost 12 months since… The aid trip to DR Congo and Rwanda?? Maybe a quick stroll on the beach… Grab an ice cream… Take a seat… Jessie!!!!! Wake up mate… we’re off…again… ...Ok…ok….I’ll take Elly instead… ...Elly….EEEELLLLLLYYYYY!!!!!!!!.... ...Oh man…. GST….I so so hate it….It’s like war for a creative person… ...Hmm you’re right, that last segue was a bit dodgy…

In Mindfulness there is a technique called ‘Thinkspeak’. Apparently it’s used widely by Buddhists. I was taught this technique and try my hardest to use it daily. / Basically, the idea is that we think about what we’re going to say BEFORE we say it. If we think it will hurt, upset or offend then we don’t say it at all, regardless of how we feel. / I’m not naive and I realise that this won’t and certainly doesn’t appeal to everyone. I also realise that, on occasion, it’s important to speak our mind. / However, it is useful in daily life, especially with the ones we love and care about as we know them the best. We usually know what would offend, upset or hurt them. / On an online community such as redbubble it’s not as easy and I have been guilty of being impulsive at times. / Maybe if we all sat back and thought about things a little more we’d see less heated discussions and opinionated views. We’re all people with different views and ideas and we’re here to share and discuss them as well as selling our work. / Thinkspeak may be a good way forward…..

So that very large telecommunications company who shall not be named here have screwed up. I mean REALLY screwed up. First they said I could have ADSL, then they said I couldn’t have ADSL, now they are saying “Please Mrs Griffin, if we promise to do our very best to get you connected to ADSL will you stop shouting at us and, for the love of God… PUT THAT GUN AWAY???!!” So, for the time being I am still on crappy dial up. Which means it takes AGES for your images to load up so I can see them. It ALSO means that, being the impatient soul that I am, uploading any of my own work is a complete waste of time. Oh… it also means that any time someone calls me at home I get booted off the net. Oh the joy. And so I must thank Maree from the Tarkine Wilderness Lodge, not only for making me the most sensational lamb burger for lunch today, but for also allowing me my Redbubble upload fix. I took my magic stick with her images I have been working on recently and uploaded them to my commercial portfolio Her internet is also WAY more quickerer than my ADSL ever was. I am spoilt forever. As that lady said after watching Meg Ryan fake an orgasm…. “I’ll have what SHE is having”

Been wondering whether to say anything… but seeing as we’re into self expression and all… I have spent a lot of my life caring for a member of my family with mental illness. It’s bloody hard hard work. But I do it because I love them. And more importantly I respect them. Herein lies the drum… I would like to formalise my sadness at some not all of the photos taken at Aradale last weekend. Guys this was a place of torment, horror, misguided judgement and ultimately whether or not deliberate, a place of inhumanity. The people who lived here had souls, fears and sufferings. That precious few understood and precious few still understand. In my opinion the parody displayed is some shots is really disappointing. Man it’s tough enough for people with mental illness it REALLY is. It can’t be seen and is so so often mocked or disbelieved. And it’s tough for carers too. I know some people will say ‘get real, it’s artistic interpretation..’ Maybe. But I wonder when perhaps restraint is the better part of valour. Others will say ‘Don’t look if you don’t want too.’ To which i say, you have no idea how much I’ve already seen. And still some will say ‘Get a life.’ Problem is, this is my life. I know this will make me the outcast of ‘the group.’ But those of you who know me, know I speak with heart, love and respect for the dignity of people. Disagree by all means. Thanks for the chance to speak up. Peace.

i think i can never apologise and thank enough.. To all those who’ve been there for me during my disappearance, who’ve been worried for me, asking for me.. thank you so so much for your concern. thank you so so so much.. as some might have noticed, i sorta almost totally disappeared frm here last 1-2 weeks.. the reason is that it might just be because i changed my eating med timing.. i used to have it after i wake up from sleep. start Sep, i had it before sleep (no thanks to fasting period). i also realised i accidentally missed my doc appt earlier this month, which means my med’s running out. but don’t worry! i got my fresh batch of med already.. n_n” basically i haven’t been able to comment and fav on all the wonderful pieces that everyone’s been uploading, cos i was too troubled, i don’t wanna give a half hearted comment. i love the works, so i really wanna comment and fav them when i’m feeling ok and can give my most sincere comments.. =D i also wanna thank the buyer of Chibi Frazzle tee and S.T.F.U tee! Thank you so so much to the mystery buyers!! =D i also made some sales over at Zazzle.. / Thank you Morin and Christopher for purchasing Chibi Fraz Bday card... / Thank you Jose, for purchasing Nobody Loves Me T-Shirt / Thank you so so muchie to Midori-sama for requesting and purchasing Hug? button !! =D / And thank you Ariel for purchasing Sobs… T-Shirt / I also wanna especially thank Lisa, Karin and Ellen for their lovely lovely comments on the keds i recently did at my zazzle shop .. i actually did those to distract me from the problems i have at home.. eheh.. n_n” but seriously, thank you all so so much for the lovely comments!! i was feeling waaaaay unloved and hated, and the comments really makes me smile despite the pain in my chest..

Hello.. hmmm.. feel free to hate me. i have been around actually.. just haven’t been really communicative. let’s just say, i’ve been crawling into a hole, and i don’t feel like coming out, really.. i tried too.. i tried very hard to respond.. to communicate.. but i’d always end up just closing the window. hnn.. yea.. prolly part of my depression thingy.. but i really just want to cry out loud, you know? it’s been more than a week, that i want to just cry, but i can’t!! (i mustn’t be caught crying) so yea.. sometimes i manage to feel cheery enough to respond to the lovely comments i get.. but after awhile, i’ll just go… / all i can say is that i’m truly sorry for my “quietness” and lack of cheery comments.. i can’t help it. trust me, i’ve been eating my med daily. but without proper umm.. as in “real life” support, i can get rather down. i understand and truly appreciate that i have many lovely friends here who understands and care for me.. but yea.. it’s like.. it’s just hard? to be working towards my goals alone? i did receive little helps from my 2 girl friends once in awhile.. but for some bloody annoying reason, i still feel darn alone!! it’s like yea, fine, i understand it’s my life, and i have no rights to ask anyone to company me fight for what i want, i don’t really need someone to fight along with me, but at least a little encouragements like “that’s great! work hard!!” or “so how did the meeting went? did they approve?” hell, even lies like “i knew you’d get it!” or “i’m so happy and proud of you!!” will be appreciated!! i know i’m being such a baby.. but.. i mean think about it.. some of you guys have things to keep you strong.. like family or loved ones or close friends.. but i’m like almost alone if not for you guys here.. but then again, you guys are like on my laptop.. i can’t.. / why do i need company.. why do i need encouragements.. why do i need love.. why do i need all these things which.. ok, i must be stronger.. i am supposed to be heartless. i’m supposed to be the nonchalant.. i’m supposed to not need all those feelings, because prolly i’m not good enough to have them. ok.. i know i’m whining and acting like a total brat.. (at least i manage to shed some much needed tears a little..) i mean, i hardly get to sleep properly for the last few nights.. but yea, the good news is that my meeting last week was rather successful, and i’ve signed the contract and will soon have my stall with PaTH They haven’t contact me yet, to tell me when i can get my cart, but i’m sure as hell not in a hurry. i haven’t got any price tags done.. just managed to buy a rack and hanger for the tees today.. i’ll be getting some 44mm buttons pressed end of this week.. i need to do a little poster for my stall too.. and i just ordered some glass and dog tags which i most likely won’t receive till end of the year.. and a print portfolio of designs to prepare for those tees designs that are not printed yet.. and i’m currently working on 1 company webbie… and i should really find another printer before i start selling.. /

I don’t know how many point and shoot cameras I’ve seen die in the desert especially the cameras with the extending lens barrel. Two P&S cameras died on the last trip with was nothing special as far as dust or sand in the atmosphere is concerned. Having a $4000 camera and $5000 worth of L glass out there can be a bit of a worry sometimes particularly when there is a lot of dust being kicked around by either the wind or just peoples foot steps. Keeping the gear clean is a fundamental practice in my usual shooting environment but it all comes down to common sense. GO AND SEE THE FULL POST

Hey everyone Thanks for everyone who uploaded an image to the This Is Oz site site – thankyou thankyou.Have a look and see if you recognise anyone. We’ve had over 150 people upload their image with a message in a week and that’s brilliant – police, politicians, musicans, actors, dancers, parents, teachers, families – all ages, all genders, and diverse cultural backgrounds. Homophobia affects everyone and everyday in Australia people are attacked, bashed and hurt for loving people of the same sex. Homophobia and hate crime is my job…I have also been bashed for holding my partner’s hand in a busy public shopping mall. Around the world the effects can be even worse. State sanctioned exucution, violent police, silence, abuse, intimidation, discrimination and harrassment. We need your support to stop it…you can all do something…homophobia also affects you. Go here to be part of the event. If you’d like to see the amazing work that other countries are doing for the International Day Against Homophobia go here Or here, this is an inspiration Add your voice…thanks Peace / Robert .)

People are interesting. So much hate in the world…I even catch myself with that metaphorical tree branch up my butt once in a while. And some of the things people do and say are just…what’s the word? Curious? Strange? Demeaning? Ridiculous? Surprising? No, not surprising. Nothing is surprising anymore. I’d be surprised if something was truly surprising. Think about it. If someone were to say that a random senator was a sexual fiend with a scat fetish who went around to peoples houses to steal there underwear for a shrine in their closet, would you truly be surprised? Would you put that past the human race, or think it impossible for someone to do? I can guarantee you that it’s been done by SOMEBODY in the world. Why not an elected official? Just another person. Suicide, genocide, murder, torture, gross fetishes, rape, necrophilia, and so on…it’s all been done over and over again. And it will continue to happen. There are people out there who believe in peace, hope for it. Hell, they even fight for it. The truth is (and I’m sorry to burst your pink bubblegum flavored bubble) that peace can and will never happen. Never! not in a million years. Not with people, not with animals, not with nature. Life itself is based upon violence and death. Like with other fantasies, peace is nice to think about, but it’s not real. We sometimes have brief periods of time in our own personal lives where we experience less stress. True, but that is not peace. Somewhere in the world, someone or something is being killed (or killing themselves). Like George Carlin (a wise man with a funny way of saying things) said, “Do you realize? Do you realize that somewhere in the world some guy is getting ready to kill himself?” – “Because statistics show that every year 1,000,000 people commit suicide.” Every 30 seconds. That isn’t including other forms of killing which happens more often. There are plenty of categories of murder, suicide, and various violent acts. (Maybe I should put some time aside to write a list of them. Maybe I should make it into a shirt…just a playful thought.) The only way someone can experience peace is through death and even then, there’s still debating and fighting over it. Even if you’re not the one talking, fighting, or crying, someone is. Think about it. Watch the news. Pay attention to the people around you. Read a few magazines, or articles. You might notice a trend. Interesting, but not surprising…unless you truly are a sheltered shut-in. (In that case, make some friends and you’ll see what I mean.) People will do anything that is physically possible to do. If it hasn’t already been done, it soon will be. Violent, or just silly. Merry Christmas! :D
