I am currently editing mini @rt books, as they go to print i invite all my contacts to visit the online copy and to feel free to order for themselves in the format most suitable to their budget. I have to wade thru thru more than 111, 000 images, knowing full well that there are rare gems in the mix.
I had surgery to a damaged shoulder, hence impossible to predict what i will be producing in terms of images. Meantime i am organising a future exhibition of my architectural shots of Fremantle, to be exhibited during national and local Heritage week 2012. Wish me luck.
I acquired an iPad2 during recovery; the simple fact of the lightweight gadget and the touch screen give me endless joy. And the camera produces large format and grainy images in lo lite :-)) & I am using a few APPS (BeFunky, Bamboo Paper with stylus, Zagg, instagram...) in conjunction with my preferred picasa
J''explore mon nouveau portable Android, HTC Desire A8183 qui m'offre des possiblitees juste qu'aujourd'hui pas possible de m'imaginer...
Yes, my most recent uploads come from my Android HTC desire A 8183; it allows me to posterize, solarize, with minimal edits and instant posting to flickr...i have not used my Kodak Z650 for so long, too much to carry around :((
I intend 2 upgrade sometimes in the future; i realise that my talent deserves quality equipment and attachments which i can ill-afford.
I have my eye on a cannon EOS 550D; i have recently acquired a 500 GB external hardrive and downloaded 50,000 images, now re-organising them into some even more re-fined order.

I am Artiste & knitwear designer. I live an eco-sensitive lifestyle, with minimal carbon footprint.
I was on 10 acres of rain_forest, in the Hinterland of Byron Bay, NSW Australia, documenting the flora and fauna of this wildlife sanctuary.
I am currently in the West of Australia, daily images present themselves to my inquisitive lens, and i am only too keen to share my discoveries with my flickr friends, new and old.
I sit on the fence between Specificity and atmospheric when it comes to my photographic tendencies.
Pre digital...
I was once given a brownie www.brownie-camera.com/ because it suited me said John. Some years later, with a grant from the Dept of the Arts, same said curator and I processed and exhibited B&W photographs (documenting my return journey to Mauritius, my homeland). I was called a new photographer with an eye for the light, for details. I used a Pentax then, with all the attachments, macro lenses & zoom.
I dream of a Hasselblad digital SLR, of course...

Tho i prefer un-altered images, i have been known to indulge in some collages and photo-montage.

    "Yaz is an artist through every cell of her body and art permeates everything she does. She also has variety of experience that gives her a unique point of view. She was born on a small island in the Indian Ocean which was not inhabited until Europeans colonized it in the 19th century. There she learned the preciousness of life and the ecosystem that supports it. She now lives on a Nature Preserve located @ the Eastern most point of Australia, where the first light of dawn hits Mt Warning, in the hinterland of Byron bay, the tourist mecca, in Northern New South Wales, Australia. The ecosystem she lives in is subtopical and contains many unusual flora and fauna which she documents with a profound sensitivity. She uses film, mostly B&W and produces gallery quality images that leave the viewer gasping at the variety of images that nature presents to her. She has developed a unique visual style which includes elaborate montages of a single or similar subjects. Most of these montages are gallery worthy for their sheer beauty and unusual format.
    She lists herself as an artist that produces unique hand made textiles for garments and ornamentation. These works are of astounding beauty and complexity. Her knitting involves techniques of sophisticated mathematical complexity, while retaining a highly developed aesthetic. She is prodigious in her output of both textiles and photographic works.
    She is a great artist of extraordinary talent and accomplishment deserving to be seen.
    Please give yourself the pleasure of viewing her amazing work.
    Morris Creedon-McVean"

    "Yazmina-Michele,

    Tu es une personne que j'apprécie particulièrement au travers de tes photos, de tes créations qui nous montrent un esprit ouvert, très inventif doté d'un sens artistique peu commun.
    Tes créations ne peuvent pas laisser indifférent, elles couvrent une palette extraordinairement étendue et diversifiée, passant de la prise la plus classique en noir et blanc, à la composition abstraite des plus colorée.
    Tu as également le don de nous faire découvrir et profiter du détail qui échappe la plupart du temps à tout un chacun. L'art de regarder et de "piquer" le point et le moment parfait, de le mettre en image de manière originale et artistique.
    Je suis très heureux de t'avoir comme contact depuis trois mois et je me régale à chacune de tes créations.
    Ne change rien, laisse parler tes idées et ton don de l'invention.
    Merci de nous faire rêver et de nous faire partager ces instants de plaisir.

    Avec mes plus amicales pensées chère Yaz

    Jacques (Diegojack)"
