drawing for dad

My Dad suggested that i keep a sketchbook with me and draw things as i go about my everyday. Well of course this is a very good idea, makes a lot of sense, and i do keep a little sketch book with me anyway, but have abandoned actually drawing in it for a while. Anyway, so this one's for you Dad!

This is something i am playing around with in flash, thought i would post the testers.

The garden is in bloom

mapping damage

Getting distracted, I am supposed to be writing an assignment about photography and mass media, how i get distracted, I have chosen a photo from the Sunday Times, from 18 May 2008 of rescue operations in China. On the same page is a story about the aid mission in Burma, directly comparing the way each government is dealing with each crises, and the freedom of press in the area. So I got googling, maps, trying to inform myself a bit about the area affected. It felt a bit like snooping or spying, I wanted to see how google earth covered each area. The satellite photos of Burma are quite clear, they even had extra images to show the cyclone path and some of the damage (screen-grabs), but not so clear for China, thought about the mapping and coverage. anyway as i said, i am getting sidetracked. i thought i would include my side tracks anyway.

The Christmas stuffing sage always seems to have a new leaf.

Pot plants at the front door... I still need to figure out the best angle for photographing the garden.
