DAY 365. 31/12/11

Last one for the year. And that's the end of year 2. Still not sure if I'll go on with a year 3, but it's been too much fun not to keep going.

Like to thank everyone who've come to the Flickr page, Blog and Facebook page. There's been close to 80,000 of you. Thanks. And once again, thanks to Sony for making kick-arse cameras, everyone who's appeared as willing and unwilling subjects and Dustin Dias for the spark.

Today's shot was taken at dawn today. Just something from Dad's beautiful hanging baskets. That's it for today. Happy New Year All.

2nd last post till the end. Have been asked if I'll keep it going to Year 3, and really, I haven't decided. Anyway here's something I've kept for a while now, and still in it's original packaging. It's Princess Leia in Jabba's slave costume... you know the one we all dreamed about the second we saw her in Return of the Jedi. 1 more tomorrow.

During my online shopping for xmas presents, I came across this little gem. A Piano keyboard mat. It has 100 sounds, 100 rhythms and midi capability... Really quite outstanding. Of course it being still in my possession so many days after xmas also means someone has probably missed out on a present. Shame. More tomorrow.

Got this many moons ago on a trip to China. Used it a few times and the results were quite outstanding for the $20 odd I paid for it. I'll try and find the results and posts them sometime. For now, this will have to do. More tomorrow.

Out to the city for lunch today... Perth City I mean, I took this just outside the WACA (Perth's Cricket Stadium). Thought it was funny to have the street lamp facing the gigantic stadium lights, like they were talking to each other. I thought it was funny at the time. More tomorrow.

20 more days to the end of the year, 20 days till I finish my 2nd 365. Well here one of Melbourne city, with a bit of christmas decorations. Not really the most exciting of street decorations, but I guess it'll have to do for the outskirts of the city. More tomorrow.

We had the SunSense Photobus come to the office today. It basically takes a UV photo of your face and is supposed to give you an indication of how much sun damage has been done to the face. That's the idea, but some of our scientists begged to differ the actual results.

Anyway, here's a shot of Nicole just about to stick her head into the machine... freaky. More tomorrow.

Took this on Toorak Road. I've got to say, for a high end shopping and dinning area, this shot makes it look like it's the main street of a country town. I suppose having the ute in the middle of the shot doesn't help either. More tomorrow.

Just got news that my designs for some hotel amenities packaging won some editors choice award in the US. Details are still sketchy at the moment, but I'd thought I'd share the inspiration for the packaging design... this shot taken a while ago.

The design was for Jean-Michel Cousteau's (son of Jacques Cousteau) new line of very eco-friendly hotel amenities with actives from the purest source of seaweed in the world. OK enough Marketing Speak. I'm just glad to win. More tomorrow.

Here's the link to a shot of the packaging.
