I’ve just discovered that ’Pong and I are going to the showing of Mardi Gras: The Slide Show tonight. Presumably like last year it’ll also be an awards night. Maybe like last year one of his photos will win an award. I guess he hopes there won’t be a repeat of The Rowdy Boys Incident. It’s at Midnight Shift nightclub on Oxford Street from 8pm — ho hum, Oxford Street on a Saturday night. I guess it can’t be avoided. And which twit scheduled a slide show during Earth Hour?
A recursive photo from Bangkok
This is my photo of ’Pong taking this photo in Bangkok. Recursion is always an interesting phenomenon.
A “new” portrait?
I just found this photo of me which ’Pong took in July 2002. I’m now using a version on my Twitter profile. Should it be my permanent image?
Stilgherrian in Thailand: photographic evidence
Speaking of my journey to Thailand, ’Pong has just published a bunch of photos of me he took there, only one of which you’ve seen before. Some of them are not particularly flattering.
’Pong’s photo chosen by David Allen Harvey
’Pong’s photo “Direction” (pictured), taken at Earthdance in Sydney last year, has been selected by leading photographer David Allen Harvey — who we had the great pleasure of meeting in Bangkok last year — for his Emerging Photographers Fund slideshow. Congratulations.
(It’s a stupid Flash-driven thing, so I can’t even link to the specific slideshow. You’ll have to follow the generic link, then select “Emerging Photographers Fund”, then select “Singles I”, then scroll through to image 31 of 32.)
’Pong doesn’t think it’s the best of his photos from Earthdance. It’s interesting to see people’s different choices.
How very Australian
An Australian Citizenship certificate just isn’t Australian unless it’s soaked in beer and completely damaged, eh? Welcome, ’Pong.
