http://blog.ktnxbi.com Don't trust the words! Thu, 09 Oct 2008 22:22:07 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en For the second week we have an image that, on it's own, doesn't have the same impact as the inaugural winner did. In my opinion however, it is a much more powerful image backed up by a sad story of a brief moment. Camera 4 x 5 Speed Graphic Film Kodak Lens 127mm During ... http://blog.ktnxbi.com/2008/10/10/week-2-pulitzer-1943-water-frank-noel/ Each Friday I will post a Pulitzer winning photograph. I am no art critic by any stretch of the imagination so do not expect an amazing critique. I do however know a bit about the photos and will attempt to give you some of the back story and any other ... http://blog.ktnxbi.com/2008/10/03/week-1-pulitzer-1942-labour-strife-in-detroit-milton-brooks/ I don't know if I'm strange for doing this but I'm a photo taking machine! In my life I'v clicked the shutter no more than 5,000 times. That's a small number by anyone's standards and especially for someone that considers themselves an amateur photographer. I have however taken thosands upon thousands of ... http://blog.ktnxbi.com/2008/09/30/photo-taking-machine/ A screen legend passed away last Friday. He starred in too many movies to list, many of which are classics. I didn't hear about the sad news until a few moments ago but yesterday I watched one of his movies, The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) where he supported Tim Robbins under ... http://blog.ktnxbi.com/2008/09/28/paul-newman-1925-2008/ I blogged about this show nearly a year ago. Season 2 has just started and it's better than the first. More drugs, more sex, more laughs and twists and just downright cool dialogue unlike most shows that are thrown up out of Hollywood. It's not out on Australia TV just yet ... http://blog.ktnxbi.com/2008/09/22/californication-2007-xxxx-redux/ Recently I did a bit of street photography. My heart just wasn't in it and I ended up asking people for their portraits. Not a single person said no. I was both amazed and proud of my city, Sydney. Having had a taste for random public portraits I wanted more. I ... http://blog.ktnxbi.com/2008/09/20/dollar-portraits-a-donation-project/ Thanks to a kind hearted sgtcaboose from OCAU forums, I'm back. Silly sticky plugin! http://blog.ktnxbi.com/2008/09/17/im-back/ I don't believe I've mentioned my car before. Before I go ahead, let me admit I am a car nut. I own a 1973 Datsun 240Z with a 350 chev and more cutom parts than I care to remember. I only drive her a few times a year and to ... http://blog.ktnxbi.com/2008/09/04/overheating-engine/ While I was visiting family in Europe I raided my family's old photo albums. There were lots of old b&w photos. I spent a good amount of time going over them and asking, 'who's this? and this guy?' It's amazing that most of us don't know what our great grandfather ... http://blog.ktnxbi.com/2008/08/29/old-photos-a-fish-tale/ I finish work at 5pm. During Winter the sun sets at around 6pm and it's very weak at sunset anyway. For this reason I hate Winter. The Golden Hour is not that golden and it's always too brief. I never have enough time to get home and go out shooting ... http://blog.ktnxbi.com/2008/08/26/street-portraits/
