Hey everyone,

Whilst I claimed that I didn't do anything in 2010 except for work on my blog benisawesome.net this isn't technically true.

I did hijack my dad's Sony A100 DSLR and do a little bit of photography in August & October in 2010.

I have uploaded the best photos, and had a go of using some effects to make some of them more interesting.

Here are my new photos from Whale Beach 2010;

I also took a few photos of the "Art & About 2010" exhibition on in Sydney. I wasn't that impressed with it to be honest. Here are two photos I enjoyed from that day;

and lastly, to finish off 2010, is "Shiny Buns";

Hope you enjoyed these, and there should be some new stuff coming for 2011!

Greeting ladies and gentlemen, I am back on dA.

What prompted this sudden reappearance? the sneaky yet charitable dA is to blame.

I purchased a premium membership for my friend absurdity:iconabsurdity: because she likes to use dA to publish her photography, check out some of her photos:

Anyway, dA had a Christmas promotion going where if you purchased a membership for someone else as a gift in December, you would receive the same members as a bonus. I bought her a year worth... and hence, ended up with a year worth myself.

This is good because it will kinda push me to upload my photos and urge me to do some more artistic stuff!

I haven't really uploaded anything in 2010 due to working pretty hard on my blog benisawesome.net, but I was very pleased with my photo from Fiji "Qalito Sunset";

(This photo was almost published by the resort for use in their promotional material, but they claimed that the resolution wasn't high enough for printing - which is kinda lame because I've printed this photo onto canvas fine).

Stay tuned for new content,

Insanity540, aka Ben.

I went and saw the 2010 World Press Photography Exhibition at the NSW State Library today. It was really good, yet has reawakened a desire to do more photography. I would really like to get a DSLR. I think I'd go with a Canon and after a quick look the D7 looks awesome.

Problem is I don't have the money at the moment to purchase one.

Inception

1 min read
"Have you ever had a dream that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?"

I just saw Inception and I loved it. I am still quietly contemplating the movie and it's concepts and I love that. I love the way I have to revisit ideas, lines and theories presented in film.

I also sat in the cab ride going home wondering what a world designed by me would look like. I know I'm not trapped in a dream world because:
a) It's too vivid and full of details.
b) I would have more interesting dreams.

I also know that in the end, my night wouldn't have turned out like it did if it were a dream. Why? ... things have not panned out has I have forseen them.

to continue my obscure Matrix references: "human beings define their reality through suffering and misery."

...

Time will tell whether fortune favours me, or lumps me with a solitary Sunday morning.

Oh yea... I forgot I have a dA account. absurdity mentioned she had put new content so I logged back in.

I feel bad for neglecting my creative side, but unfortunately I don't own a sexy DSLR or a computer capable of running Photoshop and a tablet.

I do like the updated dA UI and I think I will be checking back in more often.
