The moon for the stars.

I fell in love with a metaphor – lose the moon while counting the stars.

Never ignore a person that loves you, cares for you and misses you, because one day you might wake up from your sleep and realise that you lost the moon while counting the stars.

Mastery and Innovation

Every practice has a set of rules which governs it. Mastery occurs with the realization of these rules. Innovation occurs at the point of intelligent and creative rebellion against them.

I can totally understand why this guy wrote this flippant job advert on Craigslist.

Psychos

Everyone I meet is either stupid or a psycho.

Psychopathy is a mental disorder characterized primarily by a lack of empathy and remorse, shallow emotions, egocentricity, and deceptiveness. Psychopaths are highly prone to antisocial behavior and abusive treatment of others, and are very disproportionately responsible for violent crime. Though lacking empathy and emotional depth, they often manage to pass themselves off as normal people by feigning emotions and lying about their pasts.

My good friend Katharine came to drop of some prints of mine, sporting this new hairstyle. So, out came the lights. Snap!

Show me the (guy in the) money!

How’s this for en epic SNAFU? For decades the South African currency (allegedly) sported the face of one Jan van Riebeeck, founder of the first colony in the Cape. Now watch me do some magic.

Here is a painting of old Jan.

Here is a painting of a fella called Batholomeus Vermuyden.

Voila! Here’s a R20 note, with the wrong guy’s face on it.

I guess the old government was too busy oppressing the citizenry to notice.

BMW Panning Shot

While at Zwartkops for some quad racing I sneaked off to the main track to have a look at some real cars speeding along.

Quad Racing

As one of the iWeek attendees and (via a very circuitous route) a member of ISPA I was treated to some quad bike racing at Zwartkops last week Thursday. I used the opportunity to practice some panning and zooming shots.
