Self portrait. East Derwent Highway, Lindisfarne. July 2013. The Weird Question Meme, Part Two What is your ring size? Your guess is as good as mine! How often do you wear jewellery? I wear a wedding ring. None other than that. When was the last time you consumed alcohol? I had a small glass of beer with the pork roast the other night. Any big plans for the summer? Lots of diving. Lots of photos. Lots more National Parks. What is your favourite comfort food? It's hard to go past chips. Do you prefer broccoli or asparagus? Probably broccoli. Asparagus is fine though. What colour are your bedroom walls? White chocolate (according to the tin). With whom do you live? One lady and two gentlemen. Which Star Wars movie is your favourite? The Empire Strikes Back . They're supremely overrated as a series though. How about Harry Potter? Never read or seen one. What was the last movie you saw in theatres? Wreck It Ralph . Not bad. ...

I'm not quite sure of the location of the sun for this one Ez. Let's just take a few test shots and see how we go.

Ezra and I (in shadow). Geilston Bay Road, Geilston Bay. April 2013. This week sees me stealing another series from Sunday Stealing: The Meme From Memphis (part two) . Have any memories that you’d like to forget? One or two. Is there someone you really like to hang out with and just talk about stuff? There's a couple. Have you ever been called prince or princess? Only in jest. Do you think teenagers are weird? No weirder than anyone else. How fast does your mood change? It has been known to turn on a five cent coin. How are you feeling? Pretty ordinary. Do you want someone to call you right now? Not particularly. What do you always take with you? A camera. Is your bed comfortable? Indeed it is! Would you say you’re an understanding person?

Shadowboxing?

Shadow portrait. Napoleon Street, Battery Point. September 2012. Sunday Top Five already? An easy one this week: My Top Five Seven Picks In Fighting Games! The Barbarian (Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior) Johnny Cage (Mortal Combat) Chun-Li (Streetfighter) Sub-Zero (Mortal Kombat) Eddy Gordo (Tekken) Ling Xiaoyu (Tekken) Dhalsim (Streetfighter)

Me and my shadow. Quayle Street, Sandy Bay. May 2012. Another Q and A, you say? Sunday Stealing, you ask? Why yes, this week, it's Part Two of the Get Out of Jail Free Meme! (And appears to have been written by someone with low literacy levels...) 21. Has there ever been anyone that now you regret meeting? There has been more than a few of these. Charlatans, timewasters and generally anyone with dishonest intent. There are a few of them about. 22. What's the last film you saw? Would you recommend it? It was Disney’s Peter Pan . If you have kids, I’d recommend it. It kept them transfixed throughout, so on that score it is a winner. I’m not sure why Peter needed that ‘moms, pops and apple pie’ accent though. It grated with me. 23. Would you rather have roommates or live alone? Why do people say ‘roomates’ when I assume that they mean ‘housemates’ or ‘flatmates’? Or do people in the US actually continue to share rooms into adulthood? No wonder people are always sh...

Self portrait on wet rocks. Blinking Billy Beach, Sandy Bay. September 2011. Another day, another Q and A! Today this is the Questions Galore Meme , Part 1... 1. Is there someone in your life you know you’d be better off without? I generally don’t keep those people around. I’m not what one might call ‘a soft touch’. 2. Do you get criticised because of your body? Not that I hear of. The most critical would be myself. 3. Did you kiss the last person you called? Called? On the telephone? No I didn’t. I’m not sure that business contacts would appreciate that sort of thing. I could ask him... 4. When was the last time you danced? Monday afternoon. Henry and I danced to Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture . Lots of spinning. 5. Do you keep in mind other people’s feelings? Of course. That said, I am a little more uncompromising than many. 6. If you have a hang nail, do you pull it or clip it? Clip. 7. Who do you want to forget? Scott Muller. 8. Who was the last person to send you a letter? Kevin ‘Big...

Self portrait in the autumn sun. St Johns Park, New Town, May 2011. Two photographs featuring Moi within days of each other?!? My ego must be getting out of control… Either that or it’s a simple cry for help. heeeeeeellllllllllllllllp…
