After my latest trip back to Canberra, a friend commented that some of the shots from the trip were very “me”. This made me wonder if I had really developed a “style” to speak of? Frankly, I had not never really considered this question before – I mean, counting from the day I acquired my first “serious” camera in the Nikon F50.

This has a certain Zen-like quality to it.

Last night (12 June), the Australian national soccer team – known as the Socceroos – created history at the FIFA World Cup 2006. In retrospect, it was not so much what happened but rather the manner the victory was achieved. After all, to put it into the correct perspective, this was only the first game during the preliminary round of the competition. It is still a long way, and a long shot, come to think of it, before the Finals. There is Croatia and Brazil to conquer.
Socrates: ‘Know thyself.’
Emerson: ‘Trust thyself.’
In my mind, those four words come close to a complete philosophy on how to live.
According to Wikipedia, typography is
“is the art and technique of setting written subject matter in type using a combination of fonts, font size, line length, leading (line spacing) and individual and overall letter spacing.”
Quite a mouthful. And having written many technical papers and reports as well as writing online, I can personally say that it is no mean feat.
