Stranger Photos Have Occured - 15/04/2011 Brisbane

Hiya all!

To those of you who are on this page because you've found my camera, thank you for participating in the project!

Initially I was so terrified that no one's going to notice the camera or play with it, or that someone was gonna run with it. Then the partner decided to freak me out saying maybe some homeless dude shot a buncha pics of his junk. Made me so not tempted to develop the pictures.

But, I'm really happy with the results. There's some great people out there, great photographers! And thank you for playing with the camera!

 The Location - South Bank Riverside Walk. 

The Setup - Waterproof Disposable Camera attached to a card, attached to the railings.

The card for those of you inclined to read what's written on it. 

For all the pictures from the roll ( all of it developed well... =p) please visit the Stranger Photos Have Occured album. If you know the people in the pictures, please tag them! Let them know that you've seen their pictures!

Here's a selected few from the album:

We Want Your...

BRAINS!!!

Yes, today was the 5th Annual Brisbane Zombie Walk, in support of the Brain Foundation.

Yep. You saw right. BRAIN FOUNDATION.

5,000 Zombies. 1 city. Heaps of fun.

Oh, and add, PLENTY of PROFITS for the RED FOOD COLOURING MANUFACTURING SECTOR.

I tried to make some wonderful blood but every store I went to was out of red food dye.

The procession was mostly documented by my iPhone, until it gave up the ghost because I kept taking pictures.

Here are some select shots from the event:

If Life Were A Pencil...

If Life Were A Pencil...

Received an email from SixDegrees today announcing a YOLO Pencil event.

YOLO (You Only Live Once) "is about finding forgotten passion, discovering who you are made to be. It causes you to wander beyond your comfort zone, rethink limits and redraw lines. It stirs up your spirit, compels you to action. It makes you want to ride with the wind and dance in the rain. You Only Live Once. Make IT Count." (Yolo, 2010)

I think it's quite a cool concept. If life were a pencil. What would it be like?

We'd shed our past like so many pencil shavings as it gets shorter. We'd leave our scribbles where ever we go. We'd leave our marks behind, and maybe it'll effect a change, or maybe it'll be erased like so many other scribbles by time's eraser.

If life were a pencil, all of us would be scribbling our thoughts, allowing all to see the world through our eyes.

So, why not take a few days off and try living life as if it were a pencil?
