Individuality

Ever thought that you were a bit weird and different? Your mind doesn't really go well with others?

I mean that's all fine if you have the determination to be successful by being yourself.

I think it's awesome that everyone is different in their own way and yeah sure everybody knows that, but it's the ones that know how to work with their personalities thrive.

Don't fight it.

Love it, live it, use it.

Into the future we go!!!

Did you like the Tony Stark technology? or from the film Minority Report?

Well we are getting there one step at a time.

The evolution of the mouse is causing us great problem with our wrist and our index finger causing long term stress and damage to our tissue and I think this will help break the problem as it works with many muscles of our body instead of continuously using our wrist and index for up to 5 hours daily.

This machine is only selling for $70USD. Pre-order LEAP here.

What do you think about this technology?

"Hip-hop is a masterpiece, but nobody painted it all"

It's a documentary trying to understand the culture of rap and the people who help shape the genre today. This is a must watch for those who are into music and culture.

Photographing Extinction

The very popular and successful bag brand incase & the cultural VICE Magazine teamed up to start a project called Picture Perfect.

Basically it is a video series dedicated to documenting the work and lives of their favourite photojournalists. The video gives out insights of the workflow of some the successful photojournalists and also educating us about different cultures and how to be professional in different environments.

This project started in March 2011 and has already 7 videos following different photojournalists around the globe. It was very interesting to see the works of the journalists and how they work accordingly.

This was their latest video following photographer Patrick Brown in Thailand and China, talking about the issues on illegal animal product trading and how it has lead to animal extinction.



It's great to see that VICE magazine and incase have invested in these project to share to world.

Discotecture???

When was the last time you stepped into a nightclub and went

"wow...this is the coolest place ever"

I haven't been in a place like that in Sydney but I haven't gone out much to judge.

So what makes people think it's the best nightclub in town, a place that makes people want to return every weekend?

The endless list of drinks? The soul pumping music? The neon flashing lights? The artistically decorated area? The soundproof quiet zone? The spacey spotlighted dance floor? The hand picked handsome looking staff?  The cool network of hipsters?

I don't think a lot of people actually thought about the elements of clubs they go into, it's most probably just the "right vibe".

VICE Magazine & Heineken  is doing a series on Discotecture, discovering all the creative elements that goes into a nightclub.



P.S. The nightclubs in NYC looks so crazy compare to what we have in Sydney...

Lens test

ROKINON
7.5mm 
f/3.5

It's got great range so it'll be really difficult to have a perfect image, because of the amount of coverage it has.

It's pretty sharp although I haven't test it out seriously.

Best to get a subject really close, or get a wide ass landscape shot. It'll be really interesting to take photos that deliberately distorts the perspective. Or secretly take photos of a person (like the last picture).





Extreme Sportsmen

For the thrill, adrenaline or fun?

After watching all these crazy tricks happening in extreme slow motion, there's no doubt why I wouldn't go into these kind of sport.

And I can't understand why they risk their lives on it.

Title Designs


How often do you watch the opening titles of a feature film?

How many of them do you even remember?

If you don't remember any of them then the graphic designers ain't doing a mighty job. The director and producer needs to take the blame for it cause the titles are crucial time where the audience decide how much attention to them film.

Don't trust me? Watch these guys explain it to you so next time you can be the critic.
