On the other hand, I've applied for my Master of Arts in Art History which I've been accepted. [link] I'm looking forward to another year of study, although not too sure how I'm going to finance myself for it and I will eventually work it out. Which I'm sure I will.

I need a recommendation on lenses and looking for a good quality piece of glass for the Canon 450D and will primarily be shooting landscapes which is my preference. I will purchasing one early in the New Year.

Any suggestions and ideas would be appreciated and send them my way...

I would like to see a tag system where images are tagged which would make searching much easier. Most websites are now using tags and most Museum and gallery institutions are doing the same so why not Deviantart?

Using keywords to search for a particular subject would make searching much easier. I like the use of tags through Flickr and able to browse much easier. Having to go through the categories is way too time consuming.

Broken Hill looks promising for me to make the move out hopefully around September this year. The only downside of the city is there no jobs out there whatsoever at the moment. I will have to make sure I get this right before I start jumping ship. Byrock is another option I'm looking into which will make the trek out there next week and thinking about the cattle hand position which I've heard by word of mouth. So I've made plans to go out there next week, visit Gundabooka National Park once again and hopefully there is no rain this time around.

Anyway, I'm enjoying my rest and taking it easy. Getting used to the new camera and hopefully will post some images soon in the next week or so. I think at this stage in my life I really feel the need for a change in scenery and lifestyle. Something, I will thinking more deeply over the next three months and do some researching of different areas and towns.

I have achieved the goal that I wanted to do and now I need to implement a brand spanking new five year plan. (Haven't quite work this one out yet) More than later in the coming weeks.

Now that my University work is all finished and I won't be doing anymore for the rest of the year. YAY ! The feeling ? RELIEVED !!!


For a super duper survey !!!

1. Should I start dragging myself out of bed at 3am in the morning to do early morning shots with Malcolm? [link]

2. Should I just sleep in the next few days and put my feet up?

3. Do some night shots?

4. Should I start chasing females over the rainbow?

5. Do more rants about silly people?

6. I may be off to Bourke and Broken Hill next week, what type of shots would you like to see? (This is depending how I feel next Monday)

7. Apply for the Film Preservation job?

8. Suggestions?

In the end, I plan just to take it easy and have plenty of rest over the next seven days...

I've known Jess for a little while and I know her in real life. I do remember fondly of a great time that I had making up songs with her friend by which I have forgotten her name nevertheless I had a enjoyable time and the plus side she gave me Corona key-ring which I have kept.

Yes it is true that Nice guys do STILL finish last and I just did a big rant on Facebook and it went like this, however I ran out of more words that I wanted to say and I will try now to add more to what by what I said.

I am amazed that how many times when I lip-read conversations. Fuck, I love being observant and be able to read what other people say. No matter what, when the female says "I want to go home" and the guy gives her 20 bucks to have another drink and he just wants to drink fuckin' more piss. Don't ever do that !!! I say one thing don't fuck her up by just saying you want drink more. Give her the attention that she deserves and don't just say that you are beautiful and leave her hanging in the air...

Just a few more to go, last lecture next Wednesday night, one presentation on the Tuesday 16th June, change over an exhibition on the 17th June, one essay on Wednesday 18th June while the other is due the next day. No more pursing females, no more goaties, no more hustling, no more rituals. The month of May has been tough and one that I would rather forget and yet there is something to remember. Hopefully, the month of June is smoother and more enjoyable.

On the plus side, no more studies for the rest of the year...

I really need a break right now and to simply put my mind to rest...

Lastly, a quote...

"Sometimes the days seem to pass faster and faster the older you get and you become conscious of your own mortality, of the short time you pass through this mortal coil. Yet still despite this as the seasons meld into another and summer passes into autumn and into winter you will find your human failings even more open to the elements and faith in your own humanity tested."

On the other hand, I will be inactive for the next three months studying to finish off my post-graduate degree and then I will be pursuing my doctorate later in 2010. I have a view to be back into full-time work around July-August this year and hopefully by around this time that I will two camera purchases by then. A 1960s Rolliflex and a large format film camera. I think for me personally that I feel the need to go back to film once again. But never say never that a new DSLR may come into the equation later.

Lastly, I will rest on my thoughts for awhile and just look forward to my next walk that I will undertake this Thursday or Friday for a 11km stroll around Govetts Leap and quite possibly do the nature track at Wentworth Falls as well.

Over and out. :)

]]> *Chuckmeister Shock, Horror and Disbelief http://Chuckmeister.deviantart.com/journal/23046676/ http://Chuckmeister.deviantart.com/journal/23046676/ Fri, 06 Feb 2009 18:36:05 PST
Having returned to the Museum last week on the 4th February, I was dismayed to see that the exhibition had been changed dramatically. The exhibition installation was almost complete. The final exhibition is nothing like the exhibition that had been finalised on 22 December in 2008. Here is a rundown of the events that happened on last Wednesday.

Eight wall panels have been reduced to five. This is a good thing because it is consistent with my view that the panels had too much text.

I was pleased to say that my suggestion to incorporate a prayer room was included.

My design of the wall panels has been replaced. They are now fluoro green, bright red, orange, purple and pink. Which to my shock, I just could not believe what I was seeing and thought that I was going colour blind.

The Sari pattern has been removed as a brand.

The branding of the exhibition on the invitations is different yet again and features three males.

The beautiful photograph taken Andy (Wildplaces) [link] has been removed and I must thank him again for his contribution although it was taken out by the curator. Much to my dismay and disappointed that this was removed.

By reducing the number of panels, the thematic design is lost. There is also a mismatch of information. The Sikh panel which is hardly proper that the panels has an image of the Henna, which is proper to the Hindu, Indian Muslims, Christians. The Sikhs believe that the whole body is sacred and there is juxtaposition of what Sikhism is about. The image of the Henna is irrevelant to the Sikh Religion.

From the entrance the colours on the wall panels dominate, overwhelm and distract from the objects.

The invitations featuring three males are appalling. It is sexist, the boys are Hindus and they are not wearing Saris. The photo is out of focus and the invitation has different typefaces. (fonts) It carries connotations of the Trinity, The Three Wise Men, but it also refers to the Three Amigos, The Three Wise Monkeys and Three Little Pigs and in the Hindu religion there are three main gods.

When I enquired why there had been so many changes, The curator said:

“I decided to change it, because I just didn’t like it. Trust me, I’ve have done it all before. I have seen it all before. I know what I’m doing.”

I don't need people telling that they know everything, and to tell me how good they are. In final, the exhibition has become a disaster and I have dissociated myself with the museum and the exhibition because i feel that my professional integrity has been compromised. The changes to the exhibition had been done over the Christmas and New Year period without my consultation and was not informed of what changes had been made without any formal discussion or meeting.

I am never going another COLES brand of butter simply because it is never easy to spread and when you put it in the fridge it goes ROCK HARD and they say it is easy to spread yet on the other hand it not easy to spread.....

November 10, 2007
Sydney Morning Herald

I've been on Facebook a few months now and I have 158 friends. I've made contact with school buddies and ex-girlfriends, people I met overseas and far-flung relatives. People I know vaguely in the art world are now my friends, too. We're all busy creating Facebook groups where we leave messages for each other, send funny photos and YouTube videos and swap thoughts on artists and movies or authors and bands.

That's what Facebook is all about. You make friends online and share your opinions and attitudes. It's called "social networking". You do it in the real world just by talking to people. Facebook offers a way to do it online.

Facebook wasn't the first social networking site but it's certainly getting the most press. With 70 million active users signed up, Facebook is making MySpace look like a fad and the virtual world of Second Life a ghost town. Microsoft's investment of $US250 million ($269 million) in Facebook pegged the company's estimated value at $US15 billion.

But there are other sides to Facebook. One is the duplicitous nature of these so-called online "friendships". The other is what exactly happens to all that content created by tens of millions of users.

Let's start with the so-called "friends". No one who uses Facebook would seriously believe that the word "friend" means the same online as it does in the real world. In the real world you might say "I know someone" or "I met someone" but an acquaintance isn't the same as a friend. On Facebook, people who are only one degree away from being total strangers are your online "friends".

And people who are only one degree away from being an actual enemy are your "friends", too. A woman I've known for 25 years, and who has been unrelentingly rude to me every time we've crossed paths, recently requested to be my Facebook friend. It was the strangest sensation clicking the "OK" button. I started to wonder if she was deliberately messing with my head, taunting me by offering fake online friendship when in all probability the next time I saw her she'd blank me yet again. Or maybe it was an olive branch? How could I tell?

Prompted by this strategic unpleasantness, I asked someone who has been extremely rude about me in print to be my "friend". When the offer was accepted, it became clear that Facebook friendship, like revenge, is best served cold.

For the most part, Facebook is a diverting if fairly meaningless way to waste time. Applications made by third-party suppliers allow Facebook to precisely target the interests of its users. You can review and rate movies, recommend books and let people know what you're listening to. Is Scarface really a classic? What's a good book to read now that the Harry Potters are finished? Is the latest Hilary Duff CD any good? See, another five minutes gone.

The question soon arises, what's happening to all this information? Customer relations management is the fine art of harvesting user-generated content and information from websites. It's far more valuable to a website than a million banner ads.

I asked Facebook directly if the information that users were generating was being sold on. I received a prompt and pleasantly worded email response. "Facebook Platform makes other applications - that users choose - an easy extension of their Facebook experience. Users log in through the safe, secure Facebook login page. Only a user's friends and people in a user's network can see his or her information. Applications built on Facebook Platform are not allowed to store or collect user data, and Facebook certainly isn't selling user information to anyone."

You'll note the curious ambiguity in the answer - the question was about the information the users created, such as movie reviews and book recommendations, not about personal details such as name, age, gender or religion. After perusing the densely worded Facebook terms and conditions, it became clear third-party applications can do pretty much whatever they like with user-generated data. Facebook may be a nice way to waste time, but it also turns its users into 70 million trained monkeys who provide test audience research to multinational media conglomerates. How's that for social networking?

The most disturbing aspect of Facebook is, despite its claims of respecting privacy, there's nothing much it can do to stop people from exploiting their Facebook contacts for personal gain.

Business Review Weekly revealed that the customer relations management system Salesforce.com could be used in conjunction with a program called Faceforce that brings "Facebook data like pictures and personal interests into their contact management system". As the article sagely noted, "[Users of Faceforce] can integrate... ]]> *Chuckmeister Uni is finally over... http://Chuckmeister.deviantart.com/journal/15297233/ http://Chuckmeister.deviantart.com/journal/15297233/ Wed, 31 Oct 2007 06:01:51 PDT
I will one way or another miss the place. Although I still have two more essays to finalise and knowing that I have one more unit to complete in the New Year which will be my Humanities internship.

Now that one chapter has come to a close another one begins on this long journey. It has been a hard slog over the past three years and I am glad that I have made it this far. Although it doesn't quite feel that I have been there for three years and yet it really feels like that I have only been there for one. Time indeed does fly...

So for the coming month it will be a time to reflect, cherish the time that I have had there, to discover, relax and having a closure on one chapter on my life and opening another new door.

Chris.

The Hours: Visual Arts of Contemporary Latin America
22nd August, 2007

Hourglass Visionaries

They say there is an essence in time; well this exhibition is a good example. Time intertwines throughout the exhibition in the quotations from Argentinean writer Jorge Luis Borges on the walls and in the catalogue. The works on show all share something with the popular culture, social, political, cultural identity of Latin America. The exhibition is a collection of more than 130 works from thirty artists from Latin America providing a broad, diverse insight into Latin American culture as opposed to the bombardment of American culture. This exhibition is a breath of fresh air and has a contemporary relevance for us in our everyday daily lives.

First stop are the joys of Liliana Porter's short video For You; a series of still life images of kitsch made objects of wind up toys. It is vibrant, colourful and humorous. With penguins falling over, drum playing monkeys she creates a wonderful alternative world both expressing our relationships and obscuring realities and perhaps constructing artistically a parody of our reality, playing with our memories.

Oscar Munoz Breathe is a poetic, engaging commemorative piece that invites us to engage with the steel plates. It conjures up the memories of those who have died in Colombia as a consequence of the violence and political repression over the years. Munoz insists that we gently breathe on the objects in which we see a greasy smear and a reflection of our living selves, which replaces the image of those who have died. Munoz's poetic piece is both transitional, generational and powerful in its composition.

Romero's work from Mexico City, Requiem for the unknown pedestrian is once again a posthumous homage to the thousands of people killed by motor vehicles in the city. The composition of tyres features musical notations of Georgian chants engraved into the tyres. The emphasis on the relationship between the past and the present can be interpreted as an alternative commemoration to the people who have lost their lives on the streets.

The recurring themes throughout can be interpreted in both political and social contexts and there is a strong sense of history shown particularly in the works of Gomez from Mexico. Her series of photographic images accompanied by short text written in the Mayan language is a collection of oral ancestral stories accompanied by traditional indigenous motifs. There is a strong sense of belonging and the sense of one self in their country of origin reminiscent of the Aboriginal stories of the Dreamtime.

On the other hand, Jose Alexander Resterpo's short video reflecting on Colombia's past reminds us of the long lost ancient culture interposed with the haunting sounds of a female singer singing perhaps a dirge mourning the loss of her ancient culture. It captures the quality of a primal instinct reinforced by the image of a boatman rowing up and down a river.

Finally, there is the chaotic vision of a Traffic Jam from Santiago Sierra a conceptual artist exploring the possibilities of pushing art beyond the boundaries. It has a contemporary relevance as we imagine George Bush's motorcade when APEC finally arrives on our sunny foreshores of this beautiful harbour and the cages that will keep us out of their exclusive zones. And don't forget Ernesto Neto's, Humanoids in which we are encouraged to physically touch the objects consisting of seven cute cuddly members which seems to act as an extension of this exhibition and ourselves. They are engaging enough for the viewer to want to take one home but it is more relevant to take from the exhibition reference points for contemporary Latin American art.

Small things often have the most profound significance, and the miniature works of Craig J. Loxley hold this to be true. Loxley’s creations are the antithesis of our world, where the idea of enjoyment and happiness are fast becoming fanciful notions in a self-made culture of catastrophe and impotence. But rather than be manipulated and coerced by the inevitable rushing tide of tragic world events and the endless obsession with the banal, Loxley buoys us with hope and offers us freedom and choice, reuniting us with essential truths often lost in the maelstrom of daily life. Loxley uses the miniature to lure us to play, and we are drawn in to examine the exquisite detail, to delve deeper into the story, where we become a captive audience and unknowing participant in the cleverly crafted drama.

Matthew Benns
September 9, 2007

A FATHER of three wept yesterday as he revealed how crossing the road ahead of an APEC motorcade led to his violent arrest in front of his young son and a traumatic 22 hours in jail.

Greg McLeay was released on bail yesterday after his wife, Sophie, and children spent a sleepless Friday night worrying about him.

"Because of APEC I was not allowed to speak to him - even the lawyer couldn't," Mrs McLeay said.

"The children are traumatised. We spent the night sleeping together on the sofa. How does walking to yum cha with your 11-year-old son end up with 22-hours in jail and no access to a lawyer?"

Footage available on ninemsn showed Mr McLeay, a 52-year-old accountant from Sydney's North Shore, speaking to police in Pitt Street before four officers pushed him to the ground.

He could be clearly heard trying to explain that he was simply attempting to protect his glasses. He has a condition called astigmatism, which means he can barely see without them.

Mr McLeay was arrested under sweeping powers given to police for the APEC period that allows officers to arrest and hold people without bail until APEC ends.

Mr McLeay said he and his son, George, cycled into the city on Friday - the APEC public holiday - and met a friend, Stephen Carter, 40, to work on his accounts at Mr McLeay's Pitt Street office.

They walked out at lunchtime to go to Chinatown for yum cha. They were crossing the street to avoid a police cordon outside the Westin hotel when a police officer started shouting at them.

"I didn't know what was going on," Mr McLeay said.

"I asked which way to go and he directed me around the block. I started to walk away and he suddenly started yelling at me. It was like a fool's comedy.

"He threatened me with arrest and demanded my ID. Then this character pushed me and told me that I had assaulted a police officer.

"I was pushed up against the wall and then I was thrown to the ground and they kept telling me to put my hands behind my back. There must have been four of them pinning me to the ground.

"I was frogmarched down to the hotel's underground car park and then they tried to put another pair of cuffs on me. I was just crossing the road. Never have I felt so mortified, embarrassed and invaded. I feel violated."

Mr McLeay, who has three children - George, Cordelia, 6, and Isadora, 3 - began to cry as he added: "The worst thing is that this happened in front of my young son. You want your children to grow up respecting the police but how can they when they see this kind of thing?"

George stayed with Mr Carter and watched the arrest.

"I was really upset when I saw them take my dad. I'm going to throw away all my police videos now and go and buy Ocean's Thirteen," he said.

Mr Carter said: "It is really outrageous. On any other day the worst thing that he could have been charged with is jaywalking."

Mr McLeay was strip-searched and spent the night in a city police cell with an ice addict before appearing by video link at Parramatta Bail Court yesterday to face charges of assault and resisting arrest.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Jason France asked that bail be refused under section 31 of the APEC Meeting (Police Powers) Act, referring to a separate assault charge Mr McLeay had outstanding.

Defence solicitor Phillip Gibson argued that Mr McLeay had simply been doing a friend's accounts in the city.

Magistrate Kevin Flack took into account Mr McLeay's profession and character before granting $1000 bail on the condition that Mr McLeay not enter the APEC three-kilometre exclusion zone in the CBD until tomorrow morning.

Outside the court Mr Gibson said: "This is the case of an ordinary person going about their business with their 11-year-old son and getting caught up in the madness of APEC security.

"Yet again the presence of the police and actions of the police have escalated matters. If you give police powers like this they will be abused."

Anyway I have had enough of this APEC rubbish and it should have never been held in Sydney in the first place at the expense of taxpayers dollars.

]]> *Chuckmeister Dazed and Confused... http://Chuckmeister.deviantart.com/journal/11750132/ http://Chuckmeister.deviantart.com/journal/11750132/ Fri, 09 Feb 2007 16:58:17 PST Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
soul of a woman was created below.

You hurt and abuse tellin' all of your lies.
Run around sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize.
Sweet little baby, I don't know where you've been.
Gonna love you baby, here I come again.

Every day I work so hard, bringin' home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby, but you push me away.
Don't know where you're goin', only know just where you've been,
Sweet little baby, I want you again.

Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true.
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will.
Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill?

Led Zeppelin - Lyrics by Jimmy Page


Alright I feel Dazed and Confused at the moment...
Trying to make a decision and it is alway a hard decision to make; on whether I should go or stay and getting a bit agitated with DA at the moment mainly because every time I submit a deviation, I have to refresh the page, keeps on timing out and also should I get a subscription which is not worth paying since I have trouble loading images, pages and simply be able browse through other pages and see wonderful deviations and to be inspired, to be in awe, to feel elation and joy.

On the other hand I am not enjoying it as much as I would like to do so :(

Such is Life...

]]> *Chuckmeister I got tagged...Goddamit http://Chuckmeister.deviantart.com/journal/11619351/ http://Chuckmeister.deviantart.com/journal/11619351/ Tue, 30 Jan 2007 04:46:17 PST Rules: Write six habits/things/hates about yourself and tag 6 people. People who are tagged have to do this in their journal too.

1. I don't like drunken louts that get into your face...
2. My general laziness lets me down at times...
3. I am a simple quiet natured person..and thats just how I like it...
4. I love quotes and tend to quote all the time as for my latest quote which is on my bookshelf right now and read it all the time in the morning...'Be Passionate, Be Enthusatic and one day you will be a winner' Quote by the late Steve Irwin
5. I hate smelly people
6. Last of all I will finish this journal with a motto -

When you can see beauty, you become beautiful. When you can appreciate and value achievement, you become successful.
What you build and treasure within you flows into every corner of your life. What you have within you is what you truly have.

Fill your heart with love, and love will soon surround you. Fill your thoughts with gratitude, and abundance will be yours.

The priorities you hold within you will determine the realities you come to know. Those things you treasure deeply will grow to fill your world.

The person you appear to be on the outside is only a faint reflection. It's who you are inside that really matters.

Fill yourself inside with love, with authentic purpose, with joy and hope and faith and goodness. It all will flow out from you in a bright and splendid way.

-- Ralph Marston

An individual who loses control of their bladder in the back of a van whilst drinking beer and Jameson on the way to a casino. A Chuckmeister will abandon their pissy pants on the side of the highway to avoid further shame. If you encounter a Chuckmeister, provide them with new pants and instruct them to shower.

Jimmy: Quick pull over he's starting to drip on the seat!

Bryan: God damn it! I didn't know we were rolling with a Chuckmeister.
