Music:
Blink 182 have a new-ish album... I'll give you a hint. Its Rad.
Sum 41 have a new album. Also very cool.
Red Hot Chili Peppers have a new album. Disco beats from an 808? Believe it, because its true.
And by the time i get to actually giving these an in-depth look, there will probably be 3 more artists with new albums.
Videos: YouTube could possibly be the single most reason that the work ethic in Cape Town, and probably South Africa (and possibly the rest of the world at the moment) is so "minimalistic". I found some videos that will make you cry, make you laugh with delirium, and ask serious questions about your personal timekeeping methods.

Review of the Canon EF 25mm II Extension Tube. I now have one.
Review of the Lastolite 8-in-1 Umbrella, Softbox, Octabank, Reflector awesome light chucker 5000. I now have one of these too.
Couple of new concepts im playing with and figuring out how to shoot. Hopefully will deliver on this. Need to find someone willing to have jam chucked at them.
Life in general: Im at work at the WESTCON shipyard in Ølen, on Scarabeo 8 for the next two weeks. Some pictures, some info, some stories. And we're next to WEST ELARA. the largest jack-up platforom in the world. Even you guys would see this. ITS VERY, VERY BIG!
Im sure i missed something... But I have plenty of time to think over the next two weeks. Now here is the part im looking most forward to... Some pictures.
I shot at a friend's (Hayden) place last week. It was a test shoot with a model (and now a friend!) named Stine. Loads of fun, lots of pictures, a bit of editing, a lot of learning and lots of reward. I think both of us got something cool to freshen up our portfolio's with.
A small disclaimer: For those that be hatin': I do not calibrate my monitor, considering 90% of the time im on my MacBook Pro, so if the WB is out, the saturation is too rich, or its sharp to the point of making your eyes bleed, get over it. I do not spend 3 hours in Ps or Lr editing each image. I use 10-15mins max on each image. Get over it. At least im out there shooting and posting.
Some of the crops are a little "funky", I dont know, im in two minds about this. I would appreciate constructive criticism on this and critique in general.
So with out any delay, ladies and gentlemen and Andreas: It is my honour to present to you Mr Hayden Gates, and Ms Stine Kvarsnes. Enjoy. N
