Samyang 7.5mm Fisheye Lens

It’s built really well, all metal. Feels great.

Looks the part on the GF1 too.

Just a quick test shot.

Another B’Day gift to myself. I’ve always wanted a fisheye lens and I’ve never bought one because I’ve always doubted how much I’d actually use one. There are heaps of cheap fisheye lenses on eBay, many going for under $50, but after doing much research I found this Samyang lens, which cost more than the GF1 it’s living on, but it’s a quality pice of gear and I’m looking forward to having a bit of fun with it.

Bose SoundLink III Bluetooth Speaker

I’d gotten sick of my old Bose sound dock not charging my old iPhone (which I only have music on) and not accepting my new iPhone, and lately I’ve been paying music from the Zen Tumblr off my laptop with some external Bose speakers plugged in. It was all just getting too messy so I splashed out on my B’Day and bought myself this little bluetooth speaker.

There were many options out there, most of which were way cheaper but at $400 I still think this is a steal in comparison to how much I once used to have to pay for great sound. Within minutes I had my iPhone and laptop connected, streaming Rob’s Soundcloud. Sounds amazing, as expected. Very happy!

Google are a bunch of creepers

OH, forgot to mention… the other day on my B’Day I saw this on Google. At first I was like “Holy shit! I wonder if the B’Day cakes are a coincidence” then I rolled over the image and BOOM! Happy Birthday Justin?! Come on Google, that’s not smart, that’s just plain fucking creepy!

My mate Dan, who I met through kind of gallery, now runs his own Skateboard company Have Skateboards. Robbie our shop manager bought a deck off him because the deck featured an E30 and Dan was kind enough to give me a free T-Shirt (I love free shit!).

Last Night’s Party

Happy B’Day to me

5am
5am automatic wake-up, again! That’s 3 times in a row now, old man!

39 today! Under the radar as expected (never been one for celebrating B’Days). I’ve taken the day off work and have decided to treat myself to a few goodies on eBay despite the fact that I’m meant to be saving up for my Japan trip at the end of this year.

I sold my set of BBS RS’ a few weeks ago and I was paid for in cash, unfortunately all that cash is pretty much gone! It’s awesome treating friends to stuff when you’re loaded! Probably not the smartest thing to hold on to the cash though (really should have deposited it into my bank account).

So what did I buy?

I started with a Samyang 7.5mm f/3.5 Fisheye lens for my spare GF1. I’d seen a lot of cheap fisheye lenses on eBay and I knew they weren’t going to be any good, so I did my research and this lens has rave reviews world wide. It’s pricey (costs twice as much as the GF1 it’s going on!) but I’m pretty sure I’ll have a bit of fun with it.

Whilst I was in camera land I also bought myself a view finder for my GF1, a spare lens cap for my 20mm pancake lens, a lens cleaning kit, a spare charger and battery for the GF6 too.

I also treated myself to a new Bose SoundLink III bluetooth sound dock. I went for the big one. Looking forward to streaming soundcloud around the house with that for sure.

I think I’d better stop there. Now for some quality Mia and Justin couch time catching up with some of my fave TV shows, then later on I’ll be heading off in search for fried chicken and after that, drinks!

Just another day. 6am. It’s cold and dark outside, but it’s time to get up. 6.30am. Hit that snooze button, brush teeth, do hair, apply makeup, get dressed and get to work. Just another day.

First photoshoot with the GF6! Wasn’t an easy one either as I had all sorts of strange issues with the yellow lights in Jess’ wardrobe, and of-course the changing light outside as the sun was rising. But practise makes perfect, right?! Really happy with how the shots came out, and how the story reads too (Jess literally had to get ready for work!).

CHROME NIKO PACK

I took a gamble on this camera bag which I bought direct from Chrome Industries (I had to pay $70 shipping unfortunately) but it came in today, super fast shipping as I only bought it last week, and hot damn it’s an amazing bag. I absolutely fucking love it!

I’ll be using it as my every day bag from now on as it also fits my 15″ laptop into it’s own padded compartment. Love love love it. Love how it looks, love all the amazing compartments. So happy. Killer!

RIP H.R. Giger

hr_giger_desktop_1200x808_wallpaper-179171

RIP the amazing H.R. Giger. The very first art book I ever bought with my own money as a kid was an H.R. Giger book, which still sits on my bookshelf today. Some of the imagery in that book is pretty damn disturbing, so much so that I don’t even have to revisit it’s pages to conjure up the imagery in my mind!

Below is my homage to H.R. Giger. Some artwork I’ve created, inspired by the legend.
