Monster Children

Due to the enjoyment of capturing images and editing them, my endless boring hours after school are spent experimenting with a lumix panasonic DMX-FT2 (shit underwater box) and am in need of proving to mother that I can make great use of such technology with bigger and better things, and that investing in a NIKON 7000D would be a great investment for both her and I... This image came out of pure afternoon bordem and 10 second self fucking timer.. chyeah, gay as aids... I know.

ACTIVISM AND A CUP OF TEA. It's been six months since the devastating Christchurch earthquake in February and this week will mark a year since the city was first torn apart by powerful tremors. While much of the media focus has turned elsewhere, a group of Adelaide women continue to creatively agitate for community involvement and donations. The 22 women, known collectively as Multiply, took up crochet hooks to produce a gallery-size, giant eye artwork during SALA Festival. Comprising 534 squares and filling an entire shopfront window, the artwork As Far As Eye Can See neatly illustrates how individual action contributes to the bigger outcome.  Lorinda Curnow, the co-founder of the group, says the opportunity for grassroots action is ongoing. “We want people to know that they have the power to make a difference following a disaster like the Christchurch earthquake. And that their action – even six months after – is valuable and important. “So many Australians have a connection with people who are living or have lived in New Zealand that it makes the tragedy of the Christchurch earthquakes seem all the more closer to home. With such strong ties between the two countries; we can’t let their needs fade out of view.”  The women of Multiply feel strongly that rebuilding Christchurch is not just a bricks and mortar job. They say it’s about maintaining hope and creating spaces that support people to build a positive vision for the future. “We’re using the artwork to raise money for Gap Filler, a registered NZ charity, who are creatively bringing life back to Christchurch.They’re doing an incredible job, sustaining community spirit while the rebuilding commences. The empty spaces are being temporarily filled with art, performances, book exchanges and even an outdoor coconut bowling alley. “We’re saying to people, ‘you can also do something to help’… Whether you sponsor a crochet square in our online artwork, bid for the original piece, or start an action of your own. And we’d really love to see businesses and corporations getting involved. There are so many companies with New Zealand links.” The artwork is on display at Rodeo 162-168 Gilbert Street, Adelaide until Friday 28 October, and in Christchurch with Gap Filler during November. People can get involved with and follow the project through Facebook, Twitter and the website www.asfaraseyecansee.com

Launching 7pm Thursday August-18, Lets Get It On presents a top shelf selection of big mountain & alpine landscape photography. “Like an intimate fireside moment, Lets Get it On delivers a deeply sensual affair of alpine-inspired landscape photography. From big mountain vistas to deep backcountry adventures, here is a cold smoked exhibition that’s guaranteed to get your mojo cook’n!” Darryl Nichols, The Camera Club Featuring images captured by some of our planets leading snowboard lensmen, Lets Get It On presents an unpretentious journey into the high altitude adventures of Jeff Curtes, Jake McBride, Dan Himbrechts, Alex Roberts, Andrew Fawcett, Vaughan Brookfield and Sven de Monoski amongst other exhibiting photographers. The SNOWBOARDING blows your mind...eyes wide open as progression happens through the lens day after day, year after year. But without a doubt, it's the MOUNTAINS...the moments within our ever humbling natural world, that takes your breath away and makes you feel more alive, smaller, and more peacefully quiet than anything anyone could imagine. Places, peaks, powder...oh, and the light...the things that make this the best job in the world. Long after the catalog is finished, the magazine printed, the tricks done and outdone, these are the ones that I keep with me forever....
