Following the astounding feedback that has been received from my last foray into investigative journalism I felt that I’d best get the second instalment out before the lynch mob catches up in the vain hope that it will stop them for a while and give me a better chance of hiding from them. Anyway I managed to sneak out of the Paul Vanzella image factory whilst Jo No Clothes was ‘ re-educating ’ Paul on what she considers acceptable behaviour. His screams for mercy drowned out the sound of my escape! Okay I appreciate that it was cruel of me to leave him, but fair reader, I was lucky to escape with my notebook! She’s a wild animal and as soon as I can enlist the help of 3 Commando Brigade I will return to save that poor, poor man from the clutches of that venomous wild woman. Get on with it I hear you cry… / So what about the next instalment, well after much research and a twenty minute scan around the favourites board, I noticed that there’s this bloke called Mel Brackstone doing strange things down on the beach. Stop with the dirty thoughts you lot, I mean with his camera!... Oh, that makes it sound positively disgusting. Anyway, moving along I went down to the bubble beach. The bubble beach is very different to the beaches that I’m used to elsewhere, the water doesn’t look like it usually does it’s more like a milkshake than normal water, and as for the clouds and sky well that’s just plain weird ! It was here that I first spotted silhouette of the man-mountain that is Mel Brackstone , he stood there with the surf crashing around him standing at least 7 foot tall and as wide as a garage door, the water seemed to part rather than try to wash him away. I was surprised that this giant was the creator of so many amazing yet delicate pictures. There was a loud crack which I initially thought was the sound of a rifle being fired, I later discovered that this was the manual shutter release of Mel’s salt encrusted camera. The shot taken he started wading to shore, a mass of thick unkempt dirty orange hair was the first thing I saw of the giant as clouds shrouded the rising sun and allowed me my first clear view of this man mountain. Dear readers, I know there has been at least one fact niggling one or two of you up until this moment, may I point out at this stage that I had only managed 20 minutes of research before heading down to the beach, most of this had involved my locating flip flops, bucket and spade and tying knots in a hankie. It had completely escaped me that Mel could be a girl’s name, and her appearance in the surf had only affirmed my assumptions that Mel was indeed a big fella. Dear god was this woman huge! She towered over me, legs like tree trunks were encased in rubber waders, grief I never realised that rubber could stretch like that, or that it came in such large sizes! Her torso was encased in a dirty green waxed cotton jacket, well I assumed it was, on closer inspection I realised that it was a modified boy scouts tent. Readers, can I state for the record right here that Mel Brackstone is indeed a BIG WOMAN, some might say manly, what is certain is that she has a strange musky smell about her, it was hard to explain but certainly was a concoction between damp seaweed and decaying fish, I put it down to a life spent on the seashore and felt certain that it was in my best interest not to mention it. Her eyes a very pale washed out blue, were distant as though they focused 10 feet beyond the back of my head. Later research has revealed that this is a chronic eye condition of extreme long-sightedness and is an occupational hazard for the true landscape artist, some of the great landscape artists could not see anything closer than half a mile. Indeed Mel’s condition was well on the way to this level of severity. She realised that I was there and with effort focussed in on me, Imagine a seven foot giant woman with wild ginger hair going cross eyed in front of you and you try not to laugh? Trust me the smell stopped everything apart from a smirk. “MY BEACH” she shouted, her voice so loud it nearly burst my eardrums! “MY BEACH, MY BEACH GET YOUR FILTHY CARCASS OFF MY BEACH”. It was right about this moment that I realised that all this time on the beach and constantly listening to the crashing of surf had resulted in a certain level of mental health issues for the lady. Either that or she was really pissed off about me being on her beach and my running away screaming “help, help crazy giant lady on the loose”. Following my abortive attempt to interview Mel Brackstone I decided to find out more about the wild lady of the beach and why she behaves like she does. Interviews with some of the other beach bums that have made their homes in the sand dunes around the beach have revealed the crazy world of Mel Brackstone . She moved here as a child and now considers the beach as her front room. The time alone has resulted in her now being as mad as a box of frogs, she now see’s the whole area as hers , when she sleeps she uses old free papers as her sheets, which not only explains the titles to a lot of her photo’s and the destruction of the amazon for wood pulp, when she catches anyone taking pictures from her beach she forces them to hand over their camera and sells the artist into slavery as stock photographers!! C’mon why would they lie, I mean , beach bums, salt of the earth they are (and so willing to share their stories for a bottle of cheap booze). And so dear readers, I draw the curtains on another sad and pitiful image of life from within the bubble… sleep well. please note that all comments are completely fictitious and intended to be humorous. The journal relates to my interpretation of the art and to stories that I make up about the artist as a bubble characters rather than focusing on the real people behind the art / the main protagonist of this Soap bubble has given their approval for this story PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EPISODES FOLLOW ON FROM EACH OTHER IN A SOAP OPERA STYLE. WHILST EACH EPISODE SHOULD BE A STORY IN ITSELF IT IS HOPED THEY THREAD TOGETHER. THERE ARE MORE EPISODES TO READ, JUST CLICK HERE! SOAP BUBBLE

For the last year or longer, I have been dabbling in HDRI High Dynamic Range Imaging (or so I thought). I have been reading articles, bought all the proper software (Photoshop CS3 Extended and Photomatrix which were both good choices). I have been autobracketing my photos (I started with 3 photos, 1 EV (stop) apart and then moved up to 5 photos 1 EV apart.) I use a tripod, lock my mirror, and use a remote to trigger my camera. I shot all my photos in RAW, which starts you out with a higher dynamic range. So far so good. However, yesterday, I got the long awaited book that I preordered (before production) “The HDRI Handbook” by Christian Bloch, hot off the press (it can be ordered through Amazon.com). I couldn’t put the book down. I have been reading it in all my spare time. It has a lot of technical aspects in the beginning, but without that portion, you miss out on a lot of incredible information. Now here is where some true HDRI photographers are going to be snickering. I am going to list some of my mistakes so that others don’t take the same dumb path I took on their way to HDRI. Mistake #1. When I autobracketed my shots, I used Aperture mode (OK go ahead and laugh HDRIers). So for all 5 shots, the depth of field changed. This is crucial, you must be in Tv (shutter) mode to bracket your shots. If your camera doesn’t have an autobracket system, you have to do it all manually. / Mistake #2. I should have had 2 EV (stops) between shots instead of one. Mistake #3. I should have locked the focus or switched to manual focus. Mistake #4 On a couple of occasions I took 1 RAW image and processed it 5 ways and then ran it thru Photomatrix. Hmmmm. This is similar to dumping a pint of water into a gallon container and calling it a gallon. You don’t end up with a HDRI. Mistake #5 OK, I switch back and forth between Photomatrix and CS3 extended to see which gives the best image (that is ok, because it varies between programs and images). My big mistake….. I tone mapped the HRDI right away instead of saving the original in a 32 bit format. I also should have edited it in CS3 Extended in the 32 bit format. So, I now have a 8 bit image (I actually did save some as 16 bit image), that shows up great on the Internet. Except for the fact, that my HDRI’s didn’t look as good as others. (See here for an example) So all of this I have learned up to page 126 of the book (less than half way thru). I will keep you posted as I restart my journey into HDRI. And to all of you that have been doing it right, my hats off to you. I am just getting into the “how to”part of the book and have a long way to go. Many people might say, who cares, I am not going to be doing HDRI. Think again. The pixel race is over and the camera manufacturers got smart. The race for HDR is on, and just around the corner.

This one came to me in a chain email lol but it is funny! :O) A man walked into the ladies department of Myer’s and shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, ‘I’d like to buy a bra for my wife. ‘ / ’ What type of bra?’ asked the saleslady. / ‘Type?’ inquires the man, ‘There’s more than one type?’ / ’ Look around,’ said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, colour and material imaginable. / ‘Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types / of bras to choose from .’ the sales lady admitted / Relieved, the man asked about the types. / The saleslady replied: ‘There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types. Which one would you prefer?’ / Now totally befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them. / The Saleslady responded, ‘It is all really quite simple. . / The Catholic type supports the masses; / The Salvation Army type lifts the fallen; / The Presbyterian type keeps them staunch and upright; / The Baptist type makes mountains out of molehills.’ They forgot the German bra. Holtzemfromfloppen / Essential for joggers and gym junkies! :O) :O) Have you ever wondered why A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, and H are the letters used to define bra sizes? If you have wondered why, but couldn’t figure out what the letters stood for, it is about time you became informed! {A} Almost Boobs… {B} Barely there… {C} Can’t Complain!... {D} Dang!... {DD} Double dang!... {E} Enormous!... {F} Fake… {G} Get a Reduction… {H} Help me, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!... :O) I think I need a German Salvo Bra in G :O) [sounds like Beethoven! lol] / wonder if they sell them in the opp shop? lol – cheaper too! lol Chookas!!! :O)

I had a Drs. appt yesterday…well i have been thinking about it all last night and today…During my exam, the Dr asked me if I was “depressed”and if i would like a prescription for depression, some pain killers..etc….”Well”, I said, ” I now live MONTHLY on 1/3 of what i used to earn weekly…I lost my home and everything i ever worked for, I live with pain constantly and sometimes think that if there were a gun beside me how easy it would be to just blow my brains out and relieve myself of the pain, but i am not that selfish, my family needs and loves me, and i am all they have, and actually the only one they can depend upon..my mom has glaucoma, is old, permanently blind in one eye and sees shadows from the other, my sister is in severe stages of multiple sclerosis, my youngest brother is either in jail, on the streets, in drug rehabilition or getting into some type of trouble, my oldest brother committed suicide, my other brother is disabled due to a back injury which left him unable to care for himself and lives in another country…if that shit aint depressing well then what is!!!!” I then looked her in the eyes and said” Well…Dr…do u have any pills that can change the reality of my life? Or isnt the fact that the only thing the Rx can do for me is “mask” the reality? which, of, course, can only further my feeling depressed because then i would be in a state in which i cannot even think clearly..” I then watched her (she never spoke during this by the way) she reached into her bag of tricks, took out a bottle of pills and popped one…I walked over to her little sink in left corner of the room and got her a cup of water so she could swallow her pills..I then asked her if there was anything else she needed from me, she said “no, that’ll be all”....by the way she looked as though she were in a state of shock…......i left the room, with a small uncontrollable smile on my face and thought to myself “and they say i’m surreal”.....now aint that some funny shit…......................

WHY? / / Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard? Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat? Why do banks charge a fee on ‘insufficient funds’ when they know there is not enough? Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? Whose idea was it to put an ‘S’ in the word ‘lisp’? Why is it that people say they ‘slept like a baby’ when babies wake up every two hours? Are there specially reserved parking spaces for ‘normal’ people at the Special Olympics? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? / / Did you ever stop and wonder…... Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, ‘I think I’ll squeeze / these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?’ Who was the first person to say, ‘See that chicken there… I’m gonna eat the next thing that comes outta it’s bum.’ Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat? Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer? Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don’t point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is? Why does your Obstetrician, Gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway? Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They’re both dogs! If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?.......think about it…...LOL If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from? If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from… morons? Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune? Stop singing and read on….... Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup? Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog’s face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window? Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?

Ok, so I may have bitten off more than I can chew, but here goes…. Seems like so many folk in other areas are having Redbubble meets….so why shouldn’t we? I have met with a few RBers and it has always been fun and inspirational…...not to mention so nice to just make new friends….and finally get to meet the faces behind the RB avatars…. So….... is there a West Aussie RB group that meets? If not, who would be interested in getting together occasionally for “days out”? Just send me a bmail and let me know! / cheers / Wendy :-)) For those who know, I live in the hills near Busselton, but it does not mean these gatherings would have to be here, it could be anywhere within a days drive…..perth, augusta, margaret river, mandurah etc…..or further…..

Another email I just had to share :D I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is84). / We decided to grab a bite to eat at the food court. / I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him. / The teenager had spiked hair in all different colours: green, red, orange and blue. / My dad kept staring at him. / The teenager would look and find him staring every time. When the teenager had enough, he sarcastically asked: ‘What’s the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?’ Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response; knowing he would have a good one. / And in classic style he did not bat an eyelid in his response: ‘Got stoned once and fucked a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son.’

Again, some amazing, but, quirky facts I came across to add some light humour on a hot July day to raise a smile. Enjoy! If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. / (Hardly seems worth it.) If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. / (Now that’s more like it !) The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.. / (O..M.G.!) A pig’s orgasm lasts 30 minutes. / (In my next life, I want to be a pig.) A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy.) / (I’m still not over the pig.) Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour / (Don’t try this at home, maybe at work) The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male’s head off.. / (Honey, I’m home. What the…?!) The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It’s like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes.. Lucky pig! Can you imagine?) The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. / (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?) Some lions mate over 50 times a day. / (I still want to be a pig in my next life…quality over quantity) Butterflies taste with their feet. / (Something I always wanted to know.) The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. (Hmmmmmm…...) Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people. (If you’re ambidextrous, do you split the difference?) Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. / (Okay, so that would be a good thing) A cat’s urine glows under a black light. / (I wonder who was paid to figure that out?) An ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain. / ( I know some people like that.) Starfish have no brains / (I know some people like that too.) Polar bears are left-handed. (If they switch, they’ll live a lot longer) Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. / (What about that pig??)

Compliments of my friend Alie… Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter. / The man at the counter asked the older boy, “Son, how old are you?” / “Eight,” the boy replied. / The man continued, “do you know what these are used for?” / The boy replied, “not exactly, but they aren’t for me.

I have found a forum that I really enjoy taking part in and you can too…..It’s a forum that allows us the regular folks to suggest the home page for redbubble. / Here is just one that got posted from my suggestion. / There’s no place like home / If you think you may want to give this a try, please follow these suggestions. / 1. as much as it would be fun to do, we don’t suggest our own work. / 2., be sure to add all your finds that you would like to suggest to your favorites list. / 3., Do a search for any topic. Search deep into the pages when ever you can…..try to resist the first page grab….I don’t want to say the you should NEVER…..just make sure to consider lesser known work. Really work hard to only pick work that YOU LOVE!! Don’t just pick something just because it’s easy and works with your theme. / Also, it is best to pick images that are horizontal…..I am not positive….but I think with the new home page it works the best…..it’s only in certain markets off and on right now. Also, make sure that your pick looks GOOD in the square when you view it on your fave page. / 4..be sure that your pick has not been a home page feature before. If there are a lot of comments this may take time…..but it is only fair to be sure and add suggestions for those who have NOT been featured. / 5..Find something that inspires you…...and BE CREATIVE!!! Mixing sizes and angles can be tricky….Don’t just do all the same size look of an image…...Try playing with color mixes…..maybe some black and white and then a row of soft color tones. If your final mix doesn’t look good to you…...keep working…...Red will be more likely to pick up your selections if you really work at it…..and ask for feed back from others in the forum….you can always ask me…..I’m happy to help. Now that you have your picks in mind, open a new tab, so that you can work back and forth…..it really helps a lot. / On your first tab Go to a journal….preferably an old one that you don’t mind deleting the content of and use that always as your go to, to put your picks together. / That way no one will see the journal pop up in your feed. / I start my page with 8 of these !!: / I put a space in between as I go down..ie / !!: !!: Now go to your other tab and find your faves pages and copy your link to image and go back to your other tab and place your cursor between the two exclamation points ….now hit paste. Then do the same with the actual link to page after the second !: Like this / You find the link to page by clicking on the image and going to where that actual image is on that persons profile….the copy the URL above. / When they are all in it should look kinda like this. / !link to photo on fave page!:link to actual page for the piece !link to photo on fave page!:link to actual page for the piece !link to photo on fave page!:link to actual page for the piece !link to photo on fave page!:link to actual page for the piece !link to photo on fave page!:link to actual page for the piece !link to photo on fave page!:link to actual page for the piece !link to photo on fave page!:link to actual page for the piece !link to photo on fave page!:link to actual page for the piece Now you can publish and view to see if all your images are right. If you have anything attached to an image, like letters, words, exclamation etc….then do that one over. / This would be a a good time to copy and paste your work so far and paste it further down on the page…...doing so lets you go and move the images around more easily if you need to later. / To put them all together start at the beginning of line two and delete until it is backed up and attached with no space to the first line…..you will need to then add one space…...but if you don’t do this it can get goofed up. / Do the same for the next two….now you should have your first line.

Got in my e-mail today from Charlena , Thanks for making my day! AN ACTUAL CRAIG’S LIST PERSONALS AD To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last Date: 2009-05-27, 1:43 a.m. E.S.T. I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend’s purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message. First, I’d like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn’t expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason. My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 ..45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head … isn’t it?! I know it probably wasn’t fun walking back to wherever you’d come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I’m sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again]. After I called your mother, or “Momma” as you had her listed in your cell, I explained t / he entire episode of what you’d done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful! I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go’s, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!] I then threw your wallet into the big pink “pimp mobile” that was parked at the curb … after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver’s side of the car. Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what ’s going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA’s office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target. The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.). In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you … but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you’ve chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day! Thoughtfully yours, Alex P.S. Remember this motto … An armed society makes for a more civil society!

I don’t care who you are. I don’t care where you come from. It doesn’t matter what your politics. Your religious view are not important. But in my opinion if you think that domestic violence is funny, then you are an evil human being. Video Excerpt – Not Funny Complete VIdeo The statement taken out of context is at 6:28 / “When he beats me at tennis, that gets to be pretty annoying. And he beats me quite often.” By the time you finish reading this sentence one woman will have been violently beaten. Women who return to their abusers often end up dead. Help end the cycle of violence. If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic abuse and violence, please see the resources below for help and support.

This is a fun write for Raymondoantonio and princessleah, in response to their playful, erotic haiku’s to one another…..hahaha!! I want to sink my teeth into him / Like a fresh Alberta peach / In the breathless heat of Spring / I dream of licking whipped cream / From his long and throbbing / Eager fingertips / In nature’s wild fine dining room / I know he is well worth the eating I want to sip, to slowly sup on / Her cool cucumber soup / Waiting in her liquidly tureen / Lace it with a dash of sherry / Pop a cherry in her open mouth / In some languid leafy glade / Roll her giggling in the moss / Who gives a toss if we are seen Like a Lady I am waiting / He’s drooling for my buttery juices / Hissing like a soda bottle / Opening ever, ever so slowly / He’s lingering in my minestrone / I’m feeling sort of soporific / He’s rolling me in tarragon / His finger in my oyster pate She makes all others seem insipid / Her timbales simply make me crackers / She is a juicy rack of lamb / You can keep your dry old flapjacks / I want her slinky ginger bavaroise / Laced with all that makes a noise / I want to kiss her fillet rare / Vault headlong into her vichyssoise….. ;-))
