HI ADAM!
FRIENDS: I believe this image is a true representation of "friends" as it is a group shot of me and my posse at my birthday! I think by any outsider viewing this photo they would recognise from the smiles on everyone's faces that we are having a good time together, and it would be appropriate to assume we were 'friends'. This photograph was taken on a kodak 5.0MP digital camera.
HIGH-TECH: I thought that this photograph represented "high-tech" because I was surprised when I boarded a plane to ROCKHAMPTON of all places, to see a video screen in the back of the domestic, lower-class scum $39 seats! How far technology has come! This photograph was taken on a 2.0MP Motorola Mobile Phone camera.
SUMMER: This photograph represents "Summer" as it is the beautiful Stradbroke Island Coastline on a beautiful summer day. (Ok, that was a little corny even for me..) It was taken on a 2.0MP Motorola Mobile Phone Camera. But how awesome is the quality?! I was surprised!
UNCONVENTIONAL: I took this photo outside the Griffith University Library one day, after looking up from my seat to see someone had placed a stuffed koala in the tree! Now if that's not unconventional, what is?! It was taken on a 2.0MP Motorola Mobile Phone Camera.
UNIVERSITY LIFE: This is a photograph of my desk at hom. It signifies the everyday life of a university student. It has everything you could ever want: mess, books and most importantly, a laptop! This photograph was taken on a 5.0MP Kodak Digital Camera.
THANKYOU, THAT IS ALL!
FRIENDS: Me and all my friends?! Perhaps multiple personalities? Can someone with scitzophrenia be friends with themself? hmmm... I used photoshop to merge together 9 photographs that I took on my 2.0MP Motorola Mobile Phone camera.
COMMUNICATION: As opposed to the regular "Do not feed the ibis" signage that is apparent around Southbank, I decided to photograph an Ibis, and for reasons unknown even to me put the words under the photograph using photoshop. This "communicates" the message in a new and innovative way. This photograph was taken on a 2.0MP Motorola Mobile Phone camera.
Well, I just wanted to say an extra big THANKYOU for making me backup files! As the weeks have been going on, I have somehow managed to simply "save" my posts as opposed to posting them, but luckily, I have backup! ;)
So here's all the weeks post in ONE BIG POST for your viewing!

WEEK 6
FRIENDS: Me and all my friends?! Perhaps multiple personalities? Can someone with scitzophrenia be friends with themself? hmmm... I used photoshop to merge together 9 photographs that I took on my 2.0MP Motorola Mobile Phone camera.

This "communicates" the message in a new and innovative way. This photograph was taken on a 2.0MP Motorola Mobile Phone camera.
NEWSWORTHY: I captured the easter bunny! TOTALLY NEWSWORTHY! I didn't do a lot to this photograph in photoshop, but I did sharpen the image and alter some of the colours. This photograph was taken on a 2.0MP Motorola Mobile Phone Camera.
POPULAR: I was walking past a cafe one day and beside the menu was this "Vote for pedro" sign! Very popular! It was around the time when Napolean Dynamite came out. I altered the image by finishing the letters on the words because they weren't coloured in properly! I thought I was clever anyway! This photograph, like most others was taken on my 2.0MP Motorola Mobile Phone Camera.
GAMES: Fun and games at Southport Sharks! Go the Sharkies! I used the "contrast" feature in photoshop to alter this image. It was taken on a 5.0MP Kodak Digital Camera.
CELEBRITY: This was as close to a celebrity as I could find, and the quote is rather good too don't you think? This is a poster on our wall in the backroom of the shoe shop I work in. Cool don't you think? I used photoshop to crop this image. It was taken on a 2.0MP Motorola Mobile Phone Camera.
WEEK 7
This week comprised of me working on my assignment. YAY for me!
WEEK 8
As an avid msn user, it has always been important to me to keep up to date with my friends online. It sometimes seems as though technology has tended to take over much of my life, and msn eats away at a real lot of time without realising! One night, I sat in front of my computer with just the idea of saying hi to a friend overseas, and next thing I knew, I had skipped dinner, missed all my fav. Television shows and had been sitting in the one place in front of my laptop for 5 hours straight. What is even more confusing is I did not realise I had been sitting there for that long. I was lost to a world of technology.
Earlier this year, some of my friends decided to create a profile on second life. I really didn’t understand the phenomenon, but it was explained to me as a virtual world cross between an internet chatroom and a version of the Sims software.
What’s different about the kinds of socialising that happens in these “worlds” compared to that of regular msn, is that it is just that. A whole other world to which you can be whoever you want, customise a little virtual person to represent you, and travel around a created simulation while you chat to your friends. I think the 3D aspect makes a huge difference, as it draws people in to what they are doing, as opposed to simply seeing words typed on a screen. The colours and effects make these worlds interesting, and keeps users occupied for longer periods of time than they would say, spend on msn. (apart from my 5 hour stint!)
These kinds of applications lead us from the regular typing of chatrooms into a whole new dimension. By just checking out these sites, some may be surprised at the technology behind them. Not that it’s a new thing, but the combination of chatting and a game like environment is like no other.
I am proud to say however, that these virtual worlds are not something that I have succumbed to. I still use msn occasionally, but in the last few months have made a conscious decision to stop sitting in front of my computer screen and get out to actually see my friends face to face!
