Day 311- walk


7 November 2011- Stoplight buttons to walk vary all over the world. They also make very different noises., and can have very different symbols. This is an example of one of the Brisbane push to walk buttons. Brisbane is irritating in that most of the push to walk buttons don't actually make it possible any sooner, they just ensure that you get a signal. I miss Japan's count down options.

Day 307- Sunset


3 November 2011- On the way to the gym (walking) I saw this amazing sunset. But it isn't so easy to capture with only an iphone 3 camera.

Day 306 - project + special effects


2 November 2011- The new project, a lacy scarf. I don't know what the settings were (you shake the phone for random) but I kind of like the solarised blurring. On a depressing note, it is the end of November as I post and the scarf is yet to be finished.

Day 304- Halloween lantern


31 October 2011- Halloween isn't really celebrated much in Australia but over the last 3 or 4 years it has been getting bigger. This year there were "american pumpkins"on sale in the supermarket (for an insane price) for people to buy. But no jack o lantern carving kits (those dull knives with orange handles). We even had a single trick or treater at our place. Must be the influence of the american tv and movies.
