Some feedback on a bunch of questions we have received thus far. One entry per person ? / Quite a few folks are tagging more than one image for each category – Unfortunately that’s going to mean all your entries have to be disqualified and overlooked. This is the only way we can be fair to all the other participants who only tagged once. We will make our best effort to let folks know who have tagged more than once, but it’s up to everyone to play by the rules. Don’t panic if you have multiple tags, just go back and remove the tags on all but your best image. Nobody will be disqualified before the closing date, as long as they only have a maximum of one image per category. Why these themes ? What does each theme mean anyway ? / Depending which way you look at it, the first three themes are based around the major prizes, or the prizes are based around the themes. The idea is that if you shoot that kind of stuff, odds are the prizes will be up your alley. The European and American themes are to celebrate our international expansion, and encourage folks from those regions into our bubbleverse – That doesn’t exclude the rest of us though, photos you’ve taken in those places, or just on those themes are just as valid… eg. A photo of a US flag over an embassy can make a strong photo and fit within the theme. The intention isn’t that any of the themes will be interpreted too strictly. We want to see some great images, and the themes are a way of grouping them together for prizes. Theme 1: Landscape, Nature and Travel / Landscapes, Macro of flowers, bugs and critters, wildlife as well as people and places images can all fit into this theme. Theme 2: Portrait, Fashion and Commercial / Individual faces, environmental portraiture, fashion shoots, architecture and product photography could all fit into this theme. Theme 3: Black and White, Street and Reportage / Black and white images, photo journalism, streets and cities, colour is fine in the street and photo journalism styles. Theme 4: Europe / Anything taken in Europe or with a european flavor. Scandanavian tourists in Australia are still european for example… Theme 5: America / Anything taken in America or with an american flavor. An american flag anywhere in the world is still american etc.

However, an important reminder: only one entry per category If you got multiple entries in a category, please choose your best one and remove the competition tag from the others. Otherwise you won’t be eligible to win any of the cool prizes.

Folks – it seems the winner of the black and white category is not the owner of the winning image. Thank you to whoever has helped alert the real owner and ourselves to this.

The UK has been a bastion of free speech for many years now and it is something I am very proud of. Our recent heritage is full of great bands, writers, artists and film makers that have thrived in tolerant society that has welcomed free expression. The UK’s artists are known the world over for pushing boundaries and mixing together genres of art to create sub-genres and in some cases completely new genres! However I sometimes wonder what this tolerant, free society is going to make of the latest trend to hit the streets of the city, political urban art. Of course I realise Its not a new phenomenon , look at the scrawl on the old Berlin Wall or on the walls in Northern Ireland and you would find political graffiti slogans left in protest and to provoke thought. You can even find the ancient paintings of any native race anywhere in the world on rock faces or cave walls, whether they were made as decorative pieces or with some social impact in mind, who knows? Even in its most recent form as scrawl with spray can on a wall it has been alive in this country for years. The point is it is becoming very evident to me that this is becoming something of an epidemic here in London. When I say becoming, well I travel the streets searching this stuff out and I can tell you it is on the rise in quite a dramatic fashion here! Kids, young men and professional artists are getting more and more confident and ballsy about making bigger and more controversial statements on the walls of our city. The obvious answer is Banksy has created a precedent for the flood gates to open… although he was not the first to create this form of political graffiti in London, he is just the most well known and the first to achieve worldwide fame and fortune. But I feel to blame him or to even praise him for this would be wrong because to me he is only responding to the problems in society not creating them. Almost like blaming Hip Hop for the problems in Harlem, it’s short sited and completely missing the point. These artists are responding to the way the people are feeling right now and trying to get their voices heard the only way they can. For me this rise in political graffiti stems from the feeling that the noise society is creating is so loud and inconsequential the important points are not reaching the people. For example, a messed up singer will get front page headlines of our major newspapers while continued atrocities are being committed the world over by that do not even get a mention! How can a footballers affair be more important to the people than 2 million refugees going without food, water and medicine in Dafur. We are being drowned in a sea of pointless messages, with the substance floating past unnoticed. Whether you think it’s a problem with society or a government ploy to control us it’s clear that that to get the message across artists are resorting to more drastic measures. These measure are to take to the streets and to paint them on our walls for all to see… and in that respect I support what many of them are trying to do. Now I’m not saying all of this is political, some is just a beautiful piece of artwork designed to brighten up a… well Urban sh1thole! As well as this much of it is blatant vandalism that causes distress to its victims and actually ruins a perfectly beautiful building. Whatever the point is I have been documenting these images in my own way for years now. I don’t want to just show the images, I want to show them in context, this means including a bit about their surroundings and even the people that pass them on a day to day basis. The rest is up to you as to what you consider art, political messages, vandalism or even all three put together! So I am making it my mission to bring these images to you in what will be called my URBAN DÉCOR Journal, this is part 1 Ben AKA Redtempa

Sometimes I get so caught up in creating photographic art that I forget photography has other purposes. Like science, recording evidence, and advertising things. Recently we were asked to photograph a friend’s house that is for sale. I’m new to this sort of photography so any feedback, advice, and ideas are appreciated. The shots below are a mix of our work.

Hi Kids, Ahh its been so long since I’ve done one of these… mainly b/c I haven’t been doing much vector, in fact I haven’t done any for over a month (please clear a space for me to pass out, with my hand on my forehead) Never fear though, I’ve been painting, drawing, and keeping that creative soup at a slow simmer! TBO has taken up some creative real estate 2 days a week, for a Japanese company, and I must say, its rather hilarious. So tired at the end of today, I couldn’t get out all of my otsukaresama deshita :| which I have to say I was a little disappointed by. But, I will get there!! I’ve been keeping you informed with little trickles of Competitions I’ve been having a good trot with, which is probably why I haven’t done one of these for a while….. b/c I’m cheating!! If you missed it, TBO on Snowboard vinyl kits, and TBO a part of exclusive Moo Sticker Collections will be on the other side of a mouse click soon! If you train your telescopes to the northern skies tonight, you will see that I have been paid such an honour, and i’m so thrilled, and so very thankful for Peter, Martin and Paul for starting up this RedBubble jazz…... you guys need some special bubbles! Go on, give yourself 2!! ;) Much Love and Light, /

Then let me introduce you to Esther and Ross, my local greengrocers at Glenbrook. Esther and Ross bought the little greengrocer business about 3 months ago. As locals, we all waited with anticipation wondering what sort of changes they would make to what had been a tired little fruit and vegie shop. Please take a close look at the artwork on their walls…look familiar?? They certainly looked familiar to me and finally, after doing a little project for Esther and Ross, I got around to asking them about their artwork. The conversation went sort of like this: Adriana: Esther, I’ve been meaning to mention to you – that apple print, where did you get that from? Esther: Oh, from the internet… (Adriana immediatley jumps to conclusion that the image has been bought from a fake site, rather than original owner’s site. Cue melodramatic music. Facial expression is one of shock and horror and perplexion. Esther, seeing this and hearing the music, quickly clarifies.) Esther: You see this friend of mine told me about this website where you can buy all this artwork. It’s called RedBubble. (At this point, Adriana promptly faints flat on the floor not believing what she’s hearing.) Esther: (while picking Adriana up off the floor continues) She told me if I wanted to buy artwork for the shop, I really only needed to go to RedBubble and I would find all the images I wanted. So I searched for the fruit and vegie images I was after and bought the posters. Adriana: Wow, OMG, I have to journal this and let the others know that there are real buyers out there _ And that all they need to do is tag their work. _(wistful look that lingers like a daytime soap cliffhanger dream sequence. Cue more melodramtic music.) (End of conversation, and reality descends once more) So, here’s the photo I took of a proud Esther and Ross showing the artwork they bought on RedBubble. You’ll recognise the artwork of Jerry Alcantara here, here, here as well as an image from shall here and an image from Renee Tran here . There are 3 other posters hanging on the opposite wall, also by Jerry Alcantara’s . And what have we learnt: / 1. Tag your work. Pretend you’re a buyer – how would you find your work on RedBubble? Use appropriate tags that are relevant to your image. / 2. That real people buy artwork on RedBubble, and not just friends and family and ourselves. / 3. That Redbubble in Melbourne can act as an avenue to sell the work of photographeric artists in Italy, the US and UK to a business in Glenbrook, NSW, Australia and is seen by hoardes of tourists everyday. / 3. That I needn’t bother with pursuing scriptwriting in the future. ; p

I had to read the notification twice before I could believe it – last night a LARGE mounted print of Real Men Drive Utes sold – obviously to a Ford lover!! (Is it significant that I also sold a copy of the old Ford Anglia recently?!!) There have been a few featureds and ‘top 10’ images lately, but this sale has eclipsed those … THANK YOU to the anonymous buyer. It certainly cheered up my day.

HI! / Many of you will be aware there has been somewhat of an upheaval across this website these past weeks regarding in general – the rules and policies re expected behaviour and how they have been enforced. In response to this, RB admin and management are working really hard to put together as clear a statement re what is, and what is not acceptable behaviour, and what the resultant penalty for ‘overstepping’ any particular mark should be. Excellent!!! They now have an (apparently draft) document on this that is beginning it’s process of ‘solicited feedback’, firstly by having been assessed by RB staff, currently it is available to group hosts to view and comment on, and sometime (soon, I expect) it should be made available to the general RB membership to add their feedback. This is all a very fine, extremely difficult and confusing (due to the already extremely varied viewpoints expressed) and SLOW process. I have read the proposed new rules and guidelines pdf document I believe now 7 times, making notes as I go. On the whole, there are a few rather minor issues that I believe MAY be queried re how they are to be defined and enforced, but overall, everything is extremely clear and well set out. The earlier ‘rules and policies’ (when I finally found them) I ALSO thought were quite clear, well set out and defined. The one major difference between these 2 documents is that the new one allows for a ‘review process’ for those who wish to activate it, whereas there was no recourse to review before. / This is, in principle, a truly EXCELLENT addition to the rules and guidelines. So far – all fine and good and excellent??? Yes??? With, in my honest and truly thought through opinion, ONE EXTREMELY SERIOUS OMISSION WHICH IS BEING TOTALLY IGNORED AS EVERYONE (well – only hosts so far) RUSH TO AIR THEIR OPINIONS AND ARGUE OVER THE FINE PRINT IN THE NEW GUIDELINES – AS WELL AS ISSUES NOT IN THE NEW GUIDELINES AT ALL (LOL)....... The primary reason there was a great upheaval and huge anger and disillusionment throughout the RB community was NOT the ‘enforcement of any rule or guideline per se’. The primary reason for the huge upheavals and the extremely upsetting and destructive arguing in the forums over the past weeks was the PERCEPTION OF UNFAIR AND INCONSISTENT APPLICATION OF RULES AND GUIDELINES. RB management HAS ADMITTED that, since it’s not well advertised assumption of altered rules in February, it’s application of those rules HAS NOT BEEN CONSISTENT OR FAIR. Nowhere in this new document, or in any of the information provided to, or solicited (from so far only staff and hosts) does Red Bubble management provide ANY information at all on how they intend to implement not just this new rules and policy document (in whatever slightly edited form it may finally see the light of day), but also on how they intend to firstly make sure that these new guidelines and rules are implemented CONSISTENTLY AND FAIRLY, and, how they are going to be made to BE SEEN TO BE IMPLEMENTED CONSISTENTLY AND FAIRLY. If the previous rules were unable to be administered consistently and fairly – what reason does anyone at this point in time have to consider that the implementation of ANY format of ANY rules and guidelines will in future be able to be more fair and consistent than to this point in time? In my honest opinion – an EXTREMELY BIG HOLE in RB management’s response to the recent upheavals. I would hope this could be addressed well BEFORE any potential new rules and guidelines need be submitted to ANY feedback at all….. I welcome any and all opinions here on this – my statement of my opinion. However, I will not reply to any comments left here until, at the earliest – sometime tomorrow. / I am, at the moment, extremely tired. I have spent by far the greater proportion of the past weeks on RB policy and procedure issues, with virtually NO time to myself and / or my artwork. For the sake of my sanity, I am now, on posting this journal, going to turn my internet off, and concentrate for a bit on what I should be spending most of my time doing – my photography (as well as resting lol). / I resolve truly to not delete any comments here that may disagree with what I have written – I am interested in fair and open expression for all. / Cheers - / Kallena xx

Although i’m not usually too much of a fan of “blowing my own trumpet”, sometimes I think we have to do a bit of self congratulatory back slapping! / Over the last month, I have been part of a Welsh open studios event, by the name of Helfa Gelf, run in collaboration with the Welsh Assembly government and the Cambrian Academy of Art, among others. / I have also been selected as a contributing exhibitor at a local Gallery and Artists co-operative- Gallery 36. / Add to this, my new status as official photographer to a fantastic Burlesque performer and teacher Miss Scarlet Fever and being signed up as a freelance snapper for Majestic Model Agency and all in all-it’s been a fairly successful few weeks!!!!!!!! Now for the Oscar winners “thank you” speech. Since joining Redbubble, making friends with a fantastic worldwide community of supportive Artists, writers, photographers and all round good guys, I have grown both as a person and as an Artist, in my own right. Self confidence and self belief have grown and thanks to the continued support of my “network of buddies”, I now firmly believe that I really can do this, I really can actually make a living as a photographer and I really can live the life I was put on this earth to live. Thank you all, so much-my successes are as much a result of what you guys have done for me, as for what I have done for myself. Roy.

About 4 months ago my sister told me that one of her friends was looking through our photos from our 2008 Europe trip. Her friend works for a publishing company, and was impressed by the shots she saw, and wanted to use them in a book on Paris she was publishing. While I was excited at the time, didn’t get my hopes up about it, until it was actually done. In true Parmi style, I totally forgot about this until today, when a copy of the book turned up in the mail for me! The book is set for release on Dec 1st I am currently in a state of shock that 6 photos (5 of mine and 1 of my sister’s) have been used in the book! I had to make a journal entry to commemorate the event :) Below are the shots from the book and the original photos that I took while in Paris. So fitting that the book itself is PARIS – A Personal Guide To The City’s Best. A 300+ page hard cover book on Paris culture, dining, accommodation, mixed in with some of Bennett’s French recipes. (Shannon Bennett is the owner of internationally renowned restaurant, Vue de monde in Melbourne) Given that Paris is quite possibly my favourite city I have visited so far, this was poetic in it’s own way. / Paris Underground / My sister’s photo / Notre Dame / Notre Dame / Notre Dame / Pantheon Link to the book online All book shots taken from Shannon Bennett’s PARIS – A Guide To The City’s Best. Published by The Miegunyah Press 2009, copyright to Melbourne University Publishing Limited. Edit: I left to make a cup of coffee and came back to a massive outpouring of encouragement and congrats from so many of you! YOU GUYS ROCK! I am so supported on here by all of you and I can’t even express in words how incredible that feels! Thank you just doesn’t cut it!!! :)

Would you believe this?? I’m not quite sure I do…... (OK – the details aren’t 100% set in stone yet) BUT….. Those of you who may have known me for a while will be aware that I only finally got to pick up a decent camera for the pretty much first time and start taking photos in July last year. That’s 17 months ago….. I only got a computer I could download my images to and start some minimal editing in November last year…. 12 1/2 months ago….. I only got my first copy of Photoshop and started figuring out which command to click on to do what in January of this year…. 11 months ago – and that’s about when I finally got up the nerve to join this Bubble and start showing my work to anyone outside my family…. And – TODAY I actually CONFIRMED that I will be having my FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION (at the invitation of the gallery directors!!!) at New North Fine Art Photographic Gallery in Fairfield Melbourne in either August or September of next year!!!!!!!! All that blood, sweat and tears of the years BEFORE I got my wonderful, wonderful camera, my sensational computer and that miracle software called Photoshop is FINALLY, FINALLY creating something that is allowing me to be me. I felt I needed to write this down to help myself believe that it’s actually true… the thing is – it IS TRUE…... DragonFlyer aka Kallena PS – got to admit I’m a little (or really a LOT) overawed at the amount of work (of extremely high quality!) it actually takes to hold a solo show…..
