Old home…

Queenstown, New Zealand.
My home town.

This picture was taken on my original  Canon AE-1 Program (black) camera, with some sort of lens.. I can’t recall now.

It was before the re-build of the Wharf, and as you can see it was during one of Queenstown awesome floods.

The lake, Lake Wakatipu, rises up about 3 or 4 meters with the melting of the snow and stuff, and floods the town very often.

Don’t ask what year it was, I know what it was, I’m just not telling 🙂

Well, nothing new really… I noticed today that their “automated” system has marked two of my videos as copyright infringement.

Public events in public places.

In New Zealand, that’s fair game for everyone.

Well, if it isn’t, then fair enough I will edit or remove them, but to have youtube not provide you with any reason or means by which to contact the people who claim to have copyright is fairly stupid.

I do often video on behalf of people/bands and

Now, I know youtube have been turning into complete wankers of late, seen many things change recently and seen them abuse their place in the market. Lots of vloggers, musicians and people in general have been complaining (see them in many forums around the place), and a few of them are starting to leave youtube because of it.

So it’s time to move along.

I will be looking to setup my own video streaming storage site for my videos soon so youtube can go take a big flying jump of a really high cliff.

youtube / Google are getting way to big   and they need to be taught a few lesions here and there, though I don’t know how that might happen, cause it seems the likes of most countries governments are just giving in and letting them get ruled by a frikkin internet website of all things.

And the New Zealand Government is no different. it’ gladly bends over and takes one up the arse.

 

So what can we do when companies like Google, Yahoo, etc steal and profit from other peoples content ?

 

Food for thought.

Comments welcomed.

 

The opinion expressed above is purely that of my own, no one else was involved in the writing of this, but I’m hoping a zillion people get involved in standing up for their rights against Big Internet who think they rule the world.

The world got on without them just nicely before hand, and can well do so again.

Finding moments of remembrance in a busy life

 

Sometimes, we skip too much the basics of life.

I remember, growing up, how I loved listening to musicians music, how it inspired me to grow as a musician, and also, how it somehow deflated me also, watching those amazingly talented people and thinking.. wow I’ll never play like that… but you know.. it’s not about playing like them, it’s about playing like yourself, about being yourself, about stopping, and looking around you at all the greatness that is around is every day, ….

 

because, if it wasn’t for that stone in your shoe…. Smile

As odd as this is, it was for a photography assignment.

The point was, this document, was a description of another photographic work by the author (of the document) and was talking about Asian influence in Dominion Road (a long long road in my city), so what I was trying to do was take a photo of it at an odd angle, like reading Asian script from right to left, and the lines of the text depicting the length of the road travelled by many.
