Street Panos

Walking around Miluo

I need an exit.

I am reading "The Windup Bird Chronicle" at the moment..... maybe that is why the photo looks like this.....

Probably just a Matrix reference.

Oops.....

Chinese BBQ

We set up a makeshift BBQ in the street over the weekend... all went very well... and very tasty.

One particular gentleman decided he wanted to stop and watch - which he did for a long time.  It was certainly long enough for me to walk up to him and take a photo anyway!

The setup is shown below... well.  missing me and with the camera in one hand and the flash in the other right up close to him!

Misty Weekend

A sight seeing trip we went on saw very few sights!!

Chilli Beef

A cow getting a little hot yesterday....

Bush fire just outside the site.... we made sure the emergency number was called... 20 minutes later a single police car showed up.

Maybe they knew something we didn't because after consuming the entire hill it did not get to any of the houses or live stock there.

Time Piece

All the fasionable kids are using them...

New Nephew.

Xavier Henry...

Dinner time

Great dinner....

A million and one hairdressers

Here in Miluo, there are hairdressers everywhere...
Here is one of them...

Xan and the Storm

Incoming storm when I was home.  Taken between Christmas and New Year.

Singapore Takeoff

Flying out from Singapore.
Shot with one of the art filters on my Olympus OM-D.... straight out of the camera.
(Which has stopped working!!! - the camera - no idea about the art filter)....
It no longer recognises that a lens is on it.
The Olympus service people have been good with talking to me.... BUT..... I can't do anything about it until I get back to Australia.  I will not be back in Australia for a month!!!    Very disappointing.

Windows to the soul

Filed under:  things you do when you are bored in your hotel room with 2 flashes, a camera and photoshop.

Yesterday's morning activities...

Here in Miluo,
out the back of my hotel...
after spending some time ferretting around randomly with my camera and flash...  I worked up the courage to ask the guy I wanted to photograph if I could shoot him while he was working....

He had no problems with it.... and this was the result.  He was shovelling coal from a big pile outside to a smaller pile inside and then from that pile into the boiler that was giving me hot water in my hotel - so I definitely appreciated his efforts!
