My mentor, Elinor, once asked me a very difficult question for which, I have not really had much in the way of a satisfactory answer. She asked me, “What would you do without the Internet?” and she kept asking me this question over the past few weeks of my surgery as I have been counting [...] ...

It was exactly one year ago I had had my operation today. Many trans-people celebrate that as a kind of birthday, but I did not feel like making a big thing out of it. It did feel kind-of special,... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my blog for full links, other content, and more! ]] ...

Dating sucks. Seriously, there is nothing I regard with more contempt than dating, simply because it is the most awkward, most uncomfortable experience in the world and there are no guarantees that it could turn out to be successful. I have dated people that seem like they have walked straight out of the pits of [...] ...

Witch/Red was for me easily one of the best pieces of performance, theatre, dance I saw in all my time living in Australia. I should qualify that also by saying one of the best of any local or international performances. I think it was her first collaboration with Luke Smiles, who I think is the singular most talented composer for performance in Australia (and I still remember his beautifully strange installation with tape reels and other digital, mechanical devices in the basement of RMIT (or somewhere central Melbourne)). Gabrielle is performing her new work in Melbourne in a couple of ...

(Inbetween learning about search engine optimisation, Google Analytics… other…) I have a book which is a basic introduction to DSLR cameras. I purloined it in the hope I could have revealed to me some of the arcane aspects of manual photography. In the course of reading on such things as bracketing and other such wonders frequently qualified with the statement, "only in dslr cameras", the book, showing it's age as not from this year led me to look through the LX3 manual quite frequently. Wherein I discovered everything including multi-point autofocus. So it dawned on me fully, in which was my reason ...

Eén van de dingen waar Rotorua om bekend staat is de geur van rotte eieren. Tja, alle vulkanen hebben een slechte adem, maar er is wel verschil: Op White Island hadden we te maken met... [[ Dit is alleen een samenvatting. Bezoek mijn blog voor de hele postings met links... ]] ...

My mother had been using the same kitchen stove for exactly fifty years. Made by ETNA. Indestructible quality indeed. But over the past few years it had developed a few minor problems...

Playing with things like P and A and S, but not M. Unless M is movie. HD video from a camera looks rather good even though in low light it is grainy. Still it has sharpness and much better than the mush from many video cameras. Playing with scene modes and discovering the Black & White is rather pretty. Also in iAuto it selects scenes ok but… I shall end up sticking with P. P for Program and Photoshop and… so on. I am reading a history of Berlin, sometimes Fontane, places ending in "-ow", Wends and others who… are vanished in ...

Yay, I've got it fixed! Today I could finally go to the city hall to collect my new passport and drivers license. It is now about ten years ago I took the decision I had to stop hiding my feminine... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my blog for full links, other content, and more! ]] ...

Today, while I was trying to write a few things out and suffering from a serious case of writer’s block (it happens), I was surfing on the net and went to the White House website. I came across this post in President Obama’s blog about signing a memorandum requiring gay and lesbian partners of employees [...] ...

Something telescopes do… it feels like the appropriate description for the first photo I take with my camera. Of course of the Brauerei. For my own pleasure, 1/499 exposure, f/3.5, ISO 80. Shot in Auto mode. The lens is sublime and mmm… yes, this is the view my poor cameraphone could never quite manage. I haven't had time to play with my LX3 yet, though I have downloaded the manual and reading it makes me tremble. Oh new things to play with. I'm not even sure where to begin, wanting to throw myself into the full manual abyss but having so much else ...

An undertaking by night in the Brauerei. An unlikely moment where my poor camera has enough light to capture the chimney, walls, out-buildings illuminated as though by day. Three nights for the film crew moving around, across, on top of the brauerei. Woken before dawn in a scene with a motorbike, multiple takes of course, somehow delightful in my languid unconsciousness. bötzow brauerei in darkness and light ...
