Muki.Dorifuto.com Photography talk with random tangents into the unknown

Jam packed!

It's been a busy few weeks lately and I haven't had much of a chance to sit at my favourite cafe and write anything.

A few weeks back we were shooting for St John ambulance. Such a nice crowd of people.

They held their event at the Mercure. It's actually really close by to where I live so it was good to be able to literally walk to work that weekend.

One of my mates also took the plunge and bought a new bike. I put together a short video using footage from my DSLR -- something I've been wanting to do for a long time, but haven't been able to get around to doing. I can cross that one off my list =)

There were the crazy few days of trying to get my entries into the Canon EOS Photo5 competition. A friend told me one of my photos made it to the Canon Facebook wall, but it disappeared shortly after. There were a couple of things wrong with the pic that I wish I fixed, but oh well. I didn't make the finals, but there are some darn good pics in there that are certainly more well placed than mine.

There was a meet up with some friends from high school, celebrating the wedding of one of our class mates. Hadn't seen him in years since he moved to Korea, but it certainly feels like some things never change. The rest of that weekend was consumed by one of my mates' bucks night. Sorry, those pictures won't ever be seen on a public site!

Otherwise, there's been lots of food and drink from a recent ball held by my significant other's university school. They had a Hollywood-themed dress up. Naturally, I went as a member of the press, complete with suspenders, fedora, press card, camera and notepad.

In the past month or two, I've also been toying with the idea of setting up a studio as a workplace, to rent out, and to provide a place for other photographers to use. So far, it's looking good on paper.

I've also found a good-sized studio for holding future classes after the success of our first one at Australian Technology Park. My notepad is absolutely bursting with scribbles from all these ideas I have.

There should be a lot more to talk about in the coming month as the wheels continue to turn... and I've got a couple of new wireless TTL triggers coming in over the next few days!

November and December are looking jam-packed already!
