Fastest Hunk o' Junk in the Galaxy

Fastest Hunk o' Junk in the Galaxy

The Old Biscuit Mill hosts the nicest Hippie Market I have yet visited and also some interesting shops, the most fun of which is ”Clockwork Orange, Mid Century Modern”.

Clockwork Orange is full of awesome awesome things from the 70’s and 80’s that I want but would never spend my money on. The best one was this fantastic vintage Millennium Falcon.

Regular people can stop reading at this point (actually, to be fair, regular people probably don’t care about scale models of fictional space craft either, so I expect they have already stopped reading).

After months of idle threats, I have finally made the switch to Ubuntu. I am a long time GIMP evangelist, so post processing is no issue, but I have been struggling to find something I like for RAW conversions and photo management. This one was converted with Rawstudio, which is by far the best I have tried. Still outrageously slow though (come to think of it, so is GIMP on linux, whats with that?). If anyone has any smart suggestions, I would love to hear ’em.

Athlone Towers Demolition

Athlone Towers Demolition

Soccer World Cup fever was back for a day as everyone in cape town turned out to watch the demolition of the Athlone cooling towers.
Unfortunately, I had to basically shoot from the hip, since the man with the big red button was a bit over-enthusiastic and blew the charges 3 minutes early.

Storm at Sea

Storm at Sea

I had this composition and moody vibe in my head when I took the picture, but I had a feeling it wouldn’t work, so, imagine my suprise when it did (at least, I think it did).

I don’t want to be one of those people, but seriously, it looks way better when viewed large.
