Now i understand where Crewdson gets his lighting inspiration from. Have only pushed the colors balance towards the yellow as it was very blue before that.

You gotta love what happens at 6400ISO with the wrong WB on. I had to take the saturation waaay down just to make this not rape your eyes.

'The Gathering Dark' - Final Prints

Haha sketchy pano's are fun! This is the river market looking back towards the main downtown of Kansas city (the skyline bit) This is shot on the far side of the sity area from where im living and where school is.

Super Amateur Pano...

This is from the lawn in the centre of campus. im shooting form the bottoms looking up towards the main buildings in the centre. The photo/new media dept and sculpture and woodwork are all tucked in behind the trees in the centre. the extreme left is the South Tower of the living centre and the building on the right i havn't been in yet! Its mainly the painting dept. and their studios.

First time using photoshop's automate stitch thing (thanks Viet!) ps it looks shitty but click on it and it looks sweet!

Mixtures...

Texture...

Having just put up the below post im having a bit of dilemma about blogs/workbook spacce.

I dont know whether to keep this long running blog as a workbook for myself, and to be marked on back home or whether it will just degenerate into ramblings and photos of all the weird stuff over here. I guess it can be both though....My surrondings are definatly going to have an impact on the path i am going to travel on for this semester so its seems fair to post impressions and photos from wanderings etc etc in this blog space.

Anything deliberately crazy can go through onto the Fighting Horses link...

See, writing about something does help think through it hahaha

The Land of the Americas

First real view of Kansas - Shot in the Airport after i flew in.


Hello from Kansas City! this is the first post in a while and also the first from the mighty US of A. I have been here for 3 days now and yesterday moved into what they call "the Living Centre" which is basically a hall as we would know it.
Its pretty cool, i share a dorm style room with one other guy and I'm on a floor that has mostly second year or higher students so that's pretty cool. I've met so many people who are all like "oh wow your from New Zealand!? thats amazing" which is kinda funny.

It was weird because living on campus and going to school in the same place (even if today and yesterday has been orientation kinda stuff with freshmen and other transfer kids) you kinda forget abut the world out there. It was a strange moment yesterday at like 6pm when, as i was standing on the grass in the insanely green and lush central quad of the school, i looked up and saw two very low flying fighter aircraft in perfect formation buzzing over the school. It was like "...oh yea America...guns and oil and war and stuff..."
Weird...


An American Yellow School bus!

Preparations...

Wow lack of posting....

Ive been slack in a way and ignoring this for posting stuff! I have been working over the last week for the University of Otago doing a whole raft of photographs for their upcoming add campaign...my photos are going on billboards yo! I'm going to post the images up here tomorrow. Stay Tuned.

Also...Thanks for that artist Amanda! Her images look amazing in this series below...

Rosmary Laing:





These works seem to be a series but i cant find the name...or her website. Going to look hardout soon.

This is her "Weather Series" that Amanda Recomended to me:





These are pretty dam cool. I like the total lack of horizon and the freaky nature of the space that these people are in...falling but what way? The paper(?) adds another crazy level to it. I makes the viewer wonder even more about what is going on here! I like the dark one as well...although there is something that seems creepy and inherently dark about these images.
