I like to capture those moments when we feel reflective – when the outside context moves our inner context. These photos hit that moment for me. What prompts your introspection…? (Leave a comment below.)

Horse Riding at New Zealand’s Rangihau Ranch

The Park8 Hotel is one of Sydney’s lesser known boutique hotels, but it’s the place to stay if you fancy taking Sydney by foot. Around the corner is Sydney’s busiest shopping strip, the Pitt Street Mall. And across the road is the iconic Hyde Park. Surry Hills, Kings Cross and Darling Harbour are not far from the Park8. We stayed in a 1 bedroom loft apartment, which includes a wonderfully large spa bath and rainshower. Read more

i know where you’re coming from here bro. and the great thing about good photography is that the moment – for better or worse – is preserved for eternity. nice.

Love the photos Zac. there is a beauty and innocence about the first one, capturing childhood memories of endless days spent rummaging through the shoreline and rockpools looking for crabs and other sea life. The second photo on the other hand hints at something deeper, the dying of the light inevitably bringing on a period of reflection, whether it be the day just passed, or a lifetime lived. There is a sense of peace about both photos. For me, a bottle of red and a bit of sigur ros at 2am usually brings on the reflective mode, in a nice way.

WOW! Those photos are truly engaging! Love them! It reminds me of one of my visits to the fishing village when I was young. It was somewhere in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Collecting shellfish with bare hands. Playing in the water like there’s no tomorrow. Those were the days when you don’t have to worry about anything. Amazing photography!

Walton Ford’s huge, intricate watercolors and prints inspired by John James Audubon’s Ornithological Biography, Vietnamese folk tales, and Benjamin Franklin’s letters boggle the mind with their scale and detail. Ford depicts very subtly anthropomorphic animals that hint at parables, jokes, and metaphors. Read more
The AirPiano is an innovative musical interface which allows the playing and controlling of software instruments simply by moving your hands in the air. Above the AirPiano is a virtual matrix of keys and faders, each assigned with MIDI messages ready to be triggered. The length of a triggered note is equivalent to the time a hand is placed on the corresponding virtual key, which is also confirmed by LED feedback.

I really, really love this blog. Renee Ruin covers art, fashion, trends, with an emphasis on tattoo, fetish and grunge culture and she digs up the most amazing stuff. Ruin seems to like the same artists I do, including the seriously talented Brian M. Viveros.
I caught Chicago’s Ga’an the other night at the Empty Bottle, and they blew me away. I’d never heard of these guys, but they make driving, gothic prog sounds like satanic Krautrock with guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, and the night I saw them, a female vocalist. There is no distinct frontman, but for me, drummer Seth Sher’s intense and precise playing was the highlight of the show.
