http://www.temoin.com.au/blog Témoin: Travel & Photojournalism Blog Thu, 29 Oct 2009 08:07:37 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en A couple of months ago, when sorting RAW files on my hard-drives, I noticed some old photos of the Western Australian Wheatbelt taken with my first dSLR, a Canon 400D. As my Lightroom and Photoshop processes and skill level had changed dramatically since I first process those Wheatbelt files, I excitedly ... http://www.temoin.com.au/blog/?p=328 In the last few months – culminating in October 2009 – I have been extremely privileged to help bring to life the Graduation portfolio of Designer and Stylist Bek Timson, who I highlighted in my previous blog post. Dozens (perhaps hundreds..?) of emails back and forward, hours upon hours of planning ... http://www.temoin.com.au/blog/?p=290 In recent months, I have had the pleasure of being able to work with several of Perth's up-and-coming Clothing Designers, along with continuing a blossoming working relationship with makeup artist Elsie Tan. Whether it has been something darker and Gothic-laden with Lady Moon Designs or a classical, high-fashion shoot with Bek ... http://www.temoin.com.au/blog/?p=173 The world could be at war and you wouldnt even know it. Some people are completely engrossed in saturating others, staying dry, drinking beer and generally enjoying their new year celebrations. For some, the only inkling of a possible coup is the news article playing on the TV in the back ... http://www.temoin.com.au/blog/?p=167 I've been browsing my photos from a recent trip up the mountains to Nong Khiau and am growing progressively bored of looking at them. The primary reason for this is the repetitious 'scenery shot after scenery shot' layout, with a random localised shot thrown in. There are only so many mountain-and-stream ... http://www.temoin.com.au/blog/?p=164 So I thought it was all a bit tongue-in-cheek; “In Vang Vieng, everyone sits around in open-sided bars, drinking beer and watching re-run after re-run of Friends”.   But sure enough, the first thing I am confronted with after doing the walk from the bus station to the town centre is Jennifer ... http://www.temoin.com.au/blog/?p=158 Just a quick recap with photos... sorry. After the hassle and aggravation of Steung Treng, it was nice to finally move from Cambodia into Laos. We crossed the border without too much affair and made our way to the islands of the Deep South. One rocky road after another and we were ... http://www.temoin.com.au/blog/?p=153 Well hello..! I'm currently in Pakse, Laos, waiting the hours away until I can get on the overnight bus to Vientiane. It's currently pelting with rain, which is a nice change from intense sun (through the haze) and heat. Laos is a stunning place, scenery-wise. The people seem lovely too, though they ... http://www.temoin.com.au/blog/?p=151 The stares on the faces of the people scattered throughout the small, dank room spoke the same silent message... Room after room, face after face... A horrifically solemn place. "How can people do that??" I later mused to my dear German friend, which in retrospect was probably a very disrespectful and badly ... http://www.temoin.com.au/blog/?p=146 "What's wrong with me?!" I scream to all and sundry, upon realising I'm hoeing into a plate of fried rice when there was a perfectly good 'Sunday Burger' (with the lot!) on the menu. I'm not all-converted though. I'm currently blaring Muse through my headphones while sitting at dinner in a ... http://www.temoin.com.au/blog/?p=142
