/ / Attention t-shirt challengers! We’ve been sleeping on Agent Provocateur’s couch for the past few months and he’s getting sick of us eating out of his fridge and drinking his Scotch. So that he may preserve the sanctity of his wonderful group, he’s leasing us a new apartment on the cheap, where we can play our music louder and have all night parties and stuff. Once we’ve recruited a suitable amount of t-shirt revolutionaries, we’ll aim to hold regular weekend and speed tee challenges in our new group We’d like to thank Agent Prov for his support and hospitality. We hope the ‘special relationship’ between the two groups continues well into the future! Come and join your hosts in their quest to make better tees … you can start by dropping by the lounge for a beverage … / / /

Remember the ducklings I saw yesterday morning? (see here) Yesterday I wanted to take more pictures during lunch, but when I went back to the pool I could find them and thought somehow they made their way “home”. This morning on my way to work I saw them again! That means they really are living in the concert hall courtyard! Guess they were hiding during lunch yesterday. They were more upclose yesterday, but atleast this time I could get them all together (though they were moving so fast these pictrures got blurry). I came back during lunch, and found them gathered at the back (the little blobs in the shadow behind the planter) They walk around, but wait!... Aww, this one was left behind, and was trying so hard to jump out! It was so funny to watch it step back (I mean paddle back :P) and bulding some momentum, swimming quickly towards the corner. Eventually it made the jump. These little creatures are young, but they can swim fast! (I didn’t recharge the camera last night, and the battery was running out. Apologies for the poor quality) The photos above where from the underground path that looks into the courtyard. Later I decided to go outside and look over the courtyard: And now I know where they live, someone must have provided that plank for them! Overview of the courtyard: paddle paddle, quack quack I gave a few comments today, but now I’m really tired; didn’t sleep well last night. I’ll try to catch up later…

I haven’t been particularly prolific of late on RB, as I have been finding my way around using my new Graflex Speed Graphic Pre Anniversary, and my own development (using Kodak TMax 100 film, Kodak HC-110 developer and Ilford Rapid Fixer).

I am officially a photographer slash artist. A Phartist or Fartist (Australian spelling). A Fartist is rhyming slang derived from the phonetic spelling f-art-ist and bears no relationship to the actual process of farting. Therefore it must not be confused with the popular French vaudeville star whose highly entertaining pantomime consisted of music and sound effects using the expulsion of flatulence. Though, if I were nervous I am sure I could very well make a few exciting sound effects of my own. Generally though, mine tend to be silently and deadly, especially when I am relaxed and visiting a book store. Perhaps that was a little too much information, if so – sincere apologies and please be so kind as to not follow me up the aisle. The popular term “arty-farty” is derived from the first term Fartist and means a creative person who can try their hand at anything ie. art and photography = arty farty. So I am a Red Bubble Fartist and I am on the journey of art and photography with my nifty Canon 40D. My first real professional lesson was last night. We learnt all about speed and aperture. Or for the more technical photographers (deep voice) – aperture and speed. Initially I was going to take this journey on my own but at the last minute the Captain (see previous entries on Lost at sea ) decided that photography was also his life long dream and signed up for the course. The lesson required that we bring something interesting along to photograph. Then after this initial explanation on the use of speed and aperture (aperture and speed), we were set loose to create our displays and then rotate clockwise around the room. I of course took ages to set up my display and so by the time I had finished wrestling with it, most of the other Fartists had already fired off a dozen or so shots. As sheer panic set in, I then proceeded to randomly select settings on my camera, hoping like hell that nobody would notice that I didn’t know what I was doing. I think I almost pulled it off ROFL. After we left the class exhausted and beaten by the villains of speed and aperture, we dragged ourselves to a nearby coffee shop to steady our nerves and recap. The Captain (who is always on my side during stormy seas) kindly said that he thought I was the most creative in the group. Creative??? Everyone else knew what they were doing and brought interesting items to photograph like books and tea cups and shoes. I brought a bloody vacuum cleaner and looked like a right idiot. Then as they delicately set up their perfect shots and started clicking away, I was still wrestling with the hose that kept flicking me in the face when I tried to bend it into position. Nobody wanted to shoot my lame vacuum cleaner either. They they all lingered on the set before – the Captain’s super cool sparkly orange and silver air compressor that he cleverly placed on the over head projector. By the time I got to it, time had run out and I only got to fire off three shots. The first I had the aperture too low and let in way too much light. So I adjusted it. The second shot was rushed because the instructor was saying it was time to pack up. My third compressor shot, the last of the night was bloody brilliant. Thanks Captain :-D As we traveled home quietly in the car, each silently reliving the night’s events, I turned to the Captain and said; “Do you know why I brought a vacuum cleaner to the class?’ / He said; “No, why?” / Well, because I am on Red Bubble, I wanted to create shots that I could actually use. So I was imagining a card with a picture of a vacuum cleaner and the words: You Suck!” :-D / Sooz / x / (c) chasingsooz 2009

I’ve not been around alot lately. All I did was update a few things on the computer and next thing I know, I’ve been shaped. / Not into anything adorable or cute like a frog or a cat or a little monster… not even into a bird!! No. My internet speed is shaped or rather, slowed down (by heaps)... but only from 12noon to 2am each day until Oct 11. / So annoying. My available time to be here in the bubbles is at night (and each page takes forever to load), after my son’s gone to bed!! He came home on Saturday, btw, after a week with his father. Its so fantastic that he’s home safe and sound!! I know, I say that every time he comes home. Its just how I feel. And he feels happy and safe to be home. So we’re even!!! Plus we’re off to Wallaroo to see my very good friend Belladonna. I’m having DT’s and can’t wait till Wednesday night to be here again… but I might not stay long, it will depend on how patient I am with this speed thing. / Not to worry, it’ll be the 11th soon… Plus I may have Thursday morning to play!!! That’ll be nice!! So I will catch up with you all when I do! Have loads of fun floating around the bubbles of our favourite virtual home. Happy bubbles / :D / GG

Does anyone else suffer from this? Lately I seem to be stuck in a rut. I can’t seem to get all the fantastic compositions in my head to come to fruition through one reason or another. What I am getting with my camera is not what I envisage in my mind of how I want the shot to come out. Then there are the times that I think I have a cracker of a shot, only to find out when I upload it to my computer that it is not a crisp image. I seem to suffer from unsteady hands a lot, even fast shutter speeds aren’t getting a really crisp image : ( Oh and the other day I travelled a 4 hour return trip only to find out that somehow I had bumped the ISO on my camera up to 1600 so my images from about 20 images into the day were all ruined. That will teach me for just snapping away and not checking everything. I just seem to be stuck in a rut at the moment and am lacking confidence. I know I’m still learning and I know I have a lot to learn and I know that I want to “have it all now” and I’m impatient, but it is all just getting to me a little. Anyone ever feel like this? I’m hoping to snap out of it soon. : ) Gayle

I asked one of my favourite photographers (Peter Marin) on RB what his secret was for getting such amazing shots with his digital camera, and he mentioned a technique called The Zone System, which was developed by Ansel Adams & Fred Archer. The Zone System is a method of understanding and controlling the exposure and development of the negative, and how to vary that exposure to get the results you want. Keep in mind that this system was developed at a time when digital photography was not the norm, but Peter assures me that this technique is just as effective with digital as it is for film photography. For all intent and purposes, I am very much a newby when it comes to the technical side of photography, so I was very pleased to find this article about The Zone System (that Peter shared with me) on the web to share with all of you. Hope this information helps! Cheers, S

Best of luck to Lewis on Sunday – A truly staggering all round driving talent and an excellent ambassador for world sport. Senna-esque in so many ways and more than capable of achieving equal status with the greats of F1. I’ll be there cheering him on.

So my creative block has produced this and I actually kinda like it. I like how the geometric pattern contrasts with the soft edges of the hair…tentacles. And the abstraction of it. This was a speed piece. I also like how the colours are muted, but it still feels vibrant. Oh and also, I have been referring to it as Rabbit Girl…not entirely sure why, but I think it might be the hair stick out bit looking like an ear and the texture of the hair is almost like rough fur of a wild animal.

Move over Iron Chef, Big Brother and the Biggest Loser!! *ARSE now has the Speed Tee Challenge. A subject is thrown into the ring – (or the thread in this case) and a minimum of two combatants have 2 hours to produce a tee from that word. Our first serious challenge was Buddhism! You can see the results (the four featured tees) here! PS – 2 gold HoffNobs for Juilee Pryor for coming up with the idea!!

Well what can I say? Life has been sooooooooooooooooo hectic of late that I have not written anything remotely amusing and that means that I miss laughing at my own jokes and that is a very sad state of affairs!!! So did we know that January 22nd is the saddest day in the Northern hemisphere? Or it might just be England. Ironically at work we came to the conclusion that we had all indeed felt like the weather was in fact over weight and had decided to sit on us… So the question is how do we get more cheerful? I put this to my fellow workers and we instantly found the answer. Compulsory office speed dating… Oh yes… We thought it was a great idea until there were objections from the married contingency… So we had to go back to the drawing board and I came up with a far more useful strategy to spend office time: office twister. I think that it should be a team building exercise… Then we came to the conclusion you could do speed twister… That is like speed dating with twister. Imagine how you could meet your future hubby… Although I guess it would be difficult to ask questions and not too fun if you didn’t like the person you were with. Oh well. Then I had a Michelle moment and concerned myself… Okay I have to share… Well I wondered if they played twister in nudist camps… Surely it’s not allowed, monopoly and travel connect four possibly, but not that. There must be rules about that kind of thing… Surely. So that was the beginning of twister dating and it will take the world by storm. I also evolved the idea of pole dancing to scaffold dancing which is far more elaborate and risky. Some of the girls in the office were concerned about their nails and the prospect of falling from a height. Shame. Then finally one of my colleagues, who will be speed dating next week, stated if speed dating doesn’t work she is going to join a convent. I informed her that she would be narrowing down her choices when it came to speed dating and that it wasn’t likely that she would meet anyone or get decent answers to her careflly scripted questions. I thought I would help here with the questions and came up with the a complex one to flummox potential dates. If you woke up next to me screaming, what would you be screaming and why? Good answer: Get the Taranosauraus rex out of the fridge and that would be shouted from the comfort of my own bed! So there we are… The solution to the feeling of sadness is come up with really random ideas to entertain yourself and then find a decent reason to be happy… Like chocolate is in existence. There we are: the food of the gods saves the day. Beautiful!!!
