--It's just so.... blegh. It's trying too hard to be like Melbourne and Sydney, and failing hard. It's the gummy cousin of cities.

--cool! don't be so salty about it, it's your home after all :) i'm sure you'll dig out something nice!

--//rant I'm off to try to see my boring city with new eyes, Jan, don't worry!
02 Aug 06:43
--That's my story. The world ends and evey city on earth is in ruins - except brisbane because it's already that way.

--I just hate my country lol, being about to head across town to a job I dislike is also affecting my outlook a little.

--nonono you don't have to do transformers! that's just my own idea, you can do whatever you want
02 Aug 06:40
--Fair enough but, I live next to a stadium. Concrete transformers would be a peach.

--take andrew wyeth for instance, he's in the middle of nowhere and all his art is just about that - and it speaks to people because they know what it's like; it comes from a real place and from a real experience

--there is interesting stuff no matter where you are, even when you're in the middle of a salt desert you can probably find something. you won't always find what you initially want, but you'll find stuff you never knew you'd love until you stumble upon it

--there's some additional thoughts on that in the ramble box, but it comes down to the idea that you have memories connected to your own photos and your own environment, so your images will be infused with way more information and meaning

--Tasmania is the exception! But I am not there.. if they had better internet I would probably move there. /rant

--And architecture! don't get me started... Shacks, Wooden Shacks and concrete blocks. That's what we get for having cities only 200yrs old. 400, like in the US and maybe we might develop some culture.

--Like there wasn't enough here trying to kill us. Literally, it's a drought-defence mechanism, Gumtrees drop branches and yes I have been hit by one.

--Why do I have to take my own photos? I have like my own index of free to use images for reference. This is Australia. We don't have tall beautiful knotty wooden masses. We have bushes, shrubs and Gumtrees that try to kill you.

--@Heliux looks like a great study plan - I'm shit with deadlines but I'm going to try going through in stages.

--yep! I tried it once but i'm not used to it, so nexus image is just way faster for me

--By the way, Jan KLoid PureRef is another good program for throwing images on top of the canvas.
