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!
Skinnie Minnie and Fatty Boomsticks! A couple of 911’s rocked up to Zen today. A fat GT2 replica and a gorgeous 912 shorty.
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!).
The only shots I’ve got form last night’s shenanigans. Up at 5am again this morning. WTF!!!!!!!
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!).
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 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.
Goodbye SPAMVENTDOCUMENT. You were awesome.
I’ve been running SPAMVENTDOCUMENT as my personal blog since 2008 (check out my first post here). I used to run a blog in the 90’s, even before Blogger was invented, back then we used to update our blogs by editing HTML and FTPing updated files.
A lot of technologies have advanced since the 90s (I used WordPress now and it’s awesome) but I still find blogging pretty much the same despite. Ultimately, I find blogging therapeutic, it’s just become something that I do. I spam, I vent and I document. I also like to be able to search back through my life, using the search field of-course, for certain images/events/memories.
So, no more “hiding” behind a funny name. On a whim I’ve decided to kill off SPAMVENTDOCUMENT and I’ve now moved everything to: http://www.justinfox.com.au. It feels better already!
So happy with this shot!
Mum and Miles.
Happy Family.
Nyaw! Baby Leo getting lots of lovin’.
Baby Leo!
Mum & Leo.
Richie’s homebrew.
Always awesome!
Lovely Mothers Day yesterday with the family. Baby Leo’s much bigger than I last saw him and Miles is speaking a lot more and stringing together whole sentences now (he’s so cheeky too!).
Really happy with the first shot of Miles. I’ve hardly had to edit it at all, pretty much looks the same straight off the camera. I was kneeling down, but had the screen flipped up (very cool) and I also set the camera to a mode where when I touched the image on the screen it would not only focus on that part of the image but take the shot as well (ie: no need to press any buttons at all!). Super surreal, but really quite fun to be honest! I think I’m going to like using all these little features of the GF6.
