Tomatos on the sink

4:36:00 pm

Tomatos on the sink, originally uploaded by Raving Richie.

My housemate is a chef and has some super sharp knives. The first slice of this tomato was done mid air samirai style. Yes, the tomato was mid air, not me.

I'm not quite happy with the depth of field in this one but was too hungry to drag out the tripod. It was just too dark indoors and I was pushing my camera for every stop of speed I could get while maintaining a decent DOF. I ended up settling for f4.8 and 1/30th while resting the camera on the dish rack. It's at times like these I long for low noise & hi ISO, a la the Nikon D700.

Oh well, time for lunch.

Late for Class

The elevator that's never quick enough.
The knowledge that indulging your sweet tooth at the corner store has cost you dearly this time.
The fear of knowing one's impending doom lies at the end of this very elevator ride.

It's written all over her face.

X marks the spot!

Struggling to stay awake after work tonight - too tired to go home, but too tired to stay at work! So I walked around the Harbour at the docklands for a while, looking for somewhere peaceful just to chill and found this scenic little number. Hope you like :P
I don't have a flickr account yet so bare with me.

Homless Art - 100th photo!!

1:26:00 am

Homless Art, originally uploaded by Raving Richie.

The walls have ears and tell a story of their own in Melbourne.


Union Lane was transformed in 2007 to become another great site for legit street art.

Well well, it seems this is the 100th post at Roark's Sporks.  Big thanks to all the new members and the content/input/nonsence you all bring to the site. From humble beginnings it's a much nicer place these days and is gaining a little web cred too.
Props to Debbie and her groovy html skills.

Our first photo assignment will begin in late March / early April!
Vote on the poll & stay tuned.

Take that all you 'oh, blogs never last more than a month' people.

Sometimes you just get lucky. This was one of those times. That's the Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg, Russia in Sept. 2007.

I'm not sure if I'm completely happy with this one yet.
But I think I was rushing to put something up, I hate having empty accounts :P
Its a good idea having a photoblog, and it may even be something that helps me go out and shoot more. Stupid work always getting in the way!
This photo has been done before, but I liked the idea, so I wanted to give it a go, I do like my macro! :P

Canada Sparkling, originally uploaded by tj_goertz.

Hey fellow photogs,
I'm one of the new photobloggers Rich has invited to this lovely blog. I'm from Toronto, Canada and met Richard one fateful night in a noraebang in Korea. That's my story.
Now on to the photo - Early in the morning while icefishing in Carnarvon, Ontario, I looked outside our little cottage and saw the light beaming right into these tiny little icicles. Magic ensued.

Set in Stone

Set in Stone, originally uploaded by Raving Richie.

Nature just isn't complete without a few nationalistic slogans, when in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea that is.

Note the worn Chinese writing in the bottom of the shot. North Korea abolished Chinese script long ago.
Remnants of a time past.
