  • views: 1942 / favs: 54 My origami calendar I used tweezers to create the last few folds. The paper I folded with was about 15×15mm big. Basically I present the creator and the creation where the crane is framed by my fingers forming a circle. We can only understand size, fragility and significance when we compare two things. When we think, for example, how big the world is, we’re like tiny little specks of sand, or even atoms, to the eyes of a God holding the earth in his palm. / / For a better idea of scale: / / / I did not make this crane and take the picture with the description in my mind; but created it by instinct. It wasn’t easy drawing out my words initially. However many viewers have left very inspiring comments about my work, and for that I am grateful.

  • views: 4957 / favs: 22 My origami calendar A sailboat folded out of a 6×10mm piece of paper rowing along the lifeline in my palm. Wow I didn’t realize my hand had all these lines :P. I didn’t turn this into a black and white this time because I managed to get a cool light on my hand (natural light) to make it more waterlike. The flow of life is parrallel to a journey off the land. It begins smooth, then the waves of adulthood brings high tides which we must overcome, However at the end of the ride, everything is smooth again. Ironically the lifeline in my palm depicts this flow; it begins smooth, then there is a big split and begin to ruffle, but towards the end it comes back together again. This concept was originally generated and uploaded in May 2008, but I bought a tripod later on and re-shot this on September 2, 2009 using the timer on my camera (an Olympus FE-340), and replaced the image alone. Not very different from the one uploaded before except this one is clearer.

  • 5000+ Views / Favs: 61 / / / / My origami calendar / / Just one sheet makes a big difference; / One sheet that can make over 2000 cranes. / Each crane a step closer to a better world; / Each piece a step closer to peace. Each square in the grid paper is 5×5mm; and to be exact, there were 2028 full squares in the paper When I was in grade 5 our teacher read “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes” to our class. Sadako Sasaki was infected with leukemia. She spent her days folding cranes and making wishes upon them; wishing for her health and for a more peaceful world (the quote above is my writing inspired by the story of the thousand paper cranes). This concept was originally created in 2008, and photographed without a tripod. But now I have a tripod and decided to re-shoot this again and re-uploaded it on September 6, 2009.

  • views: 1161 / favs: 45 My origami calendar I folded the mother duck out of trace paper around the time I saw ducklings on the way to work; can read about that here. I can’t remember how big the paper was; I believe 13×13mm. The two little ducklings in the centre were folded from 6×6mm pieces of trace paper while the little one at the back was folded from a 5×5mm piece of trace paper. I know mother duck is just behind the 4cm mark, but the duckling at the back is infront of the 1cm mark, hence the duck family is a 3cm spread ^ _ ^ New version added August 21, 2008 / Looks great on a card!

  • Missy, a chestnut Miniature Pony, caring for her new born filly foal. Many foals are born during the night, but this one arrived in the late afternoon/early evening and I was priviledged to be present to not only witness, but also photograph the ever new miracle of the birth of a beautiful foal. I was actually on my way, that day, to photograph the young Kookaburras in the late afternoon light, when I noticed Missy lying down, about to give birth. I forgot the Kookaburras and spent the next couple of hours photographing the whole birth process, the mare cleaning her foal, the foal’s struggles to get to her feet and stay on them and eventually, her first drink.

  • Inspiration: Tilt Shift Miniatures

    Remember the fun we had creating Little Planets? W…

    Remember the fun we had creating Little Planets? Well here’s another cool technique we think you might enjoy playing around with. Tilt shift miniature photography uses a technique where a tilt shift lens is used to make real life scenes appear as miniature scale models. / / The good news for those who don’t have the budget for an expensive lens is that this effect can easily be achieved using photo editing software like PhotoShop or Gimp (which is free). Below are some amazing tilt shift miniatures from around the web to get you inspired: / Keith Loutit’s time-lapse tilt-shift videos / Serpentine by Harald Kirr / Harvard Book Store by Azripal / Tiltshift, outside Waterloo station by Cloudsoup Keen to give this a try? The following links should help to get you started: Creating the tilt shift miniature effect in Photoshop or Gimp: Gimp tutorial PhotoShop tutorial by Alison Johnston Faking tilt-shift in PhotoShop by Martin Pot Using a tilt shift lens: Build a DIY Tilt-Shift Camera Lens Using a tilt shift lens Using a tilt shift lens (video) And just for fun … (purists – look away now): A website that will do it for you An app for your iphone that will allow you to achieve the miniature effect For more inspriation, look no further than these tilt shift miniatures from our very own talented bubblers: / US Open final … in minature by hazy / Sydney Opera House by Lorraine Creagh / Robin Hoods Bay, Tilt Shift by TallGuy / Monsal Head – The Peak District by Steven Lee / Minature Bangkok by David Goymer If you’d like to give this a go, please feel free to post your results below … and don’t forget to add them to the The Tilt-Shift Photography Gallery. Good luck!

  • Placed in the Top 10 in the Challenge Peafowl in the group “First Things” in May 2009 / Featured in the group First Things in May 2009 / Featured in the group Super Macro Photography in May 2009 Never thought I would get this close to an Indian Blue Peacock to get a macro of his back feathers but I had one eating out of my hand on Friday and in turn he let me take a very close picture…Amazing!!

  • ACEO / miniature art of a beautiful Tabby called Neska, with amber eyes, done with coloured pencils and ink on drafting film. Neska’s eyes are actually green in colour but I wanted to add to my series of artwork featuring cat’s eyes ( Emerald Eyes, Sapphire Eyes and Turquoise Eyes). There is such diversity in the colours that cat’s eyes come in and I never tire of admiring the beauty of their eyes. Reference photo for this artwork was taken by Ainhoa Pcb http://www.flickr.com/photos/ainhoap/455734885/ and was used with her kind permission.

  • ACEO / Miniature art (2.5×3.5 inches) of a darling little kitten in a sweet slumber, done with coloured pencils on drafting film. Reference photo for this artwork was taken by Florencetime http://www.flickr.com/photos/florencetime/2656261478/ (flickr creative commons).

  • ACEO / miniature art (2.5×3.5 inches) of a little mouse seeking comfort from the light of a candle, done with coloured pencils and ink on drafting film.

  • 4×6 inch OSWOA (original small works of art) done with graphite pencil on drafting film. The reference photo for this artwork was taken my Ainhoa Pcb http://www.flickr.com/photos/ainhoap/355192326/ – this is my favourite little model Neska again.

  • These things faded out somewhat about the time I was born. They have gained a bit of popularity with collectors and nostalgia fans lately though.
