musings from the photographic memepool [the shallow end]

Only midly photography related, however worth a look I feel.

ACMI are having an interesting show in July. An exhibition of Pixar Studio's work

Pixar: 20 Years of Animation is the international exhibition that takes you behind the scenes of the studio that created Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc., Toy Story, Cars and The Incredibles.

Over 500 sketches, paintings, sculptures and storyboards reveal how Pixar's much-loved characters and worlds are brought to life. In addition to these one-of-a-kind works by artists and sculptors, the exhibition includes spectacular immersive environments and interactive experiences developed by Pixar to extend the magic of their films.

The world's largest exhibition dedicated to the art of animation comes from the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and makes its only Australian appearance at ACMI.

So, as if flickr wasn't enough of a time waster, now twitter!

Here's my list of social/sharing sites that I'm involved in

• flickr, and many of it's groups
• del.icio.us
• twitter
• facebook
• myspace, [yes I know sad innnit]

So, as far as I can see, twitter is really for folks who as a flickrnaut recently said, "people who are chained to their computers". My question is then, are any of these sites of any real use in our lives, particularly if your job description does not include working all day everyday on a computer?

Thanks to Jayjuice, I was reminded of my lastfm account and little did I know I also had a claimId account.

When will it end?

Went shooting last night, decided to go the blurry & atmospheric option.

Will return with tripod and black & white film as the concrete in there is a sight to behold.

I've signed up to this new pool on flickr called 24 hours of flickr.

Today, now not only am Icommitted to take pictures as much as possible, I am, with lot's of help from Andrew, finishing off moving my website. This means setting up/changing mail, both mine [no biggy] and Nik's [hmm, in the past I've only used/setup pop mail]. And hanging out with my old friend Dan Bacon and his financé, who I am taking to the airport this evening.

On the mail front IMAP is a little new to me, but I'm told it's a little more spam resistant. I'm the tech person in this house, so I "just make it work". Nik [seen here on the left] doesn't share my interest or patience with technology.
