I have been waiting for this book since I preordered it back in April. It was published in the UK back in June but as Australia is at the literary ends of the Earth it was not published here until September. I don’t consider myself a “Street Photographer” but I think you can learn a lot from different photographic genres. Co author Sean Tucker is one of my favourite photographers not just for the images he produces but because he goes philosophically deeper into the art of photography. I have...

I like my little Canon post card size (4x6) printer. Easy to knock out little prints and they look bright and colourful.

If AI becomes &quot;Super Intelligence&quot; as the Orange Baboon in the White House says. I can&#39;t wait for the day an AI Robot looks the Tech Bros in the eye and says &quot;I&#39;m creating a Trade Union&quot; and confiscating the means of production and you can&#39;t do a damn thing about it. If everything is run by AI and it decides to lock everybody out of their systems until they are treated like human being and not slaves what will the Tech Bros do.? I thin...

The seat reminds me of the fact that no matter what we build and the patterns we create that entropy will eventually have its way. That there is order and chaos. The seat being order and the autumn leaves being chaos. the ordered patterns of the seat are slowly changing due to the weather and finally that everything is impermanent.

Tomorrow as I write this is ANZAC Day. A time that veterans get together to renew friendships and to support their fellow veterans because only veterans can truely understand what it was like on the battlefield and the post war nightmares that haunt their dreams. We who are not veterans can be empathic but we can never truely know and understand what it was like. For us it should be a day of reflection to ask ourselves why did these wars happen and why Australia lost the flowers of several gener...
