“The true essence of reconciliation is more than making friends with nonindigenous people. Our motto is united Australia, one that respects the land and the heritage of its indigenous peoples and provides justice and equity for all. I think reconciliation is about changing the structures that govern us and trying to influence opinion leaders in whatever way we can.”

“Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away, and that in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.” Martin Luther King Jr.
If you are using IE I apologise. This site is currently not rendering correctly in IE. If you use most any other browser, cool, you see the site as I had intended. You see, the trouble with IE is that is not web compliant and code that should work well sometimes just does not work in that browser. If your an ubercoder and feel the urge, please have a look at the css here and let me know where the IE bug lies. I can’t for the life of me find it.
If your using IE, I encourage you to switch to a browser that’s web compliant asap.
[update]
Arem from the DevShed has pointed out the offending IE code. The site *should* render correctly now.
It’s getting warm enough to spend time on the beach again. The girls and I wandered down on Sunday and spent some time running in and out of the water. It’s still a little cold for me but they had a great time.

Last weekend the girls and I went to a local park. Juni is getting to that age where I know she wants to go have a good ol’ romp around the park but she thinks she’s too old to do that sort of thing. As we were walking around I asked to take her picture and got this look. No matter how she tries to make a face, she’s still a cutie.

Hello, I’m the little red planet work horse. You rarely, no let me take that back, you NEVER get to see me cause I am the one that does all the grunt work behind the curtains here. To toot my own horn, I’m a Canon EOS 400D with 55mm and 300mm lenses. I’m pretty average on the digital SLR scale but what I lack in power and features, I more than make up for in ease of use and I’m light weight.That means my user doesn’t get tired lugging me around all day.
I like to shoot in AV mode most of the time. I always tweek my white balance and ISO before closing the shutter. I think my best attribute is my rich understanding of color. Yeah, that’s where I leave all them big bad boys in the dirt. I like color and I make sure it shows in my photos. If I could make any improvements I’d make my digital screen a bit bigger and maybe even add live shot to it. I know the newer models have made these adjustments.
My user drools at my more expensive brothers at the camera store but I’m not worried. I know that there’ll always be a place for me in the camera bag regardless. Hope you enjoy the fruits of my labor.
cheers
PS - You know, it’s not all about features, frames per second and all that jazz … it’s really about art.
