Lego "CL!CK"

A friend and I discovered this famous TV show from the 60's.
"The Samurai"(Japanese: Onmitsu Kenshi) was a Japanese television historical drama series. Completely filmed in black-and-white, The Samurai was topping Australian TV charts.

It's true that more fans showed up at the airport arrival of the main actor Ose Koichi than for The Beatles when they came to Australia just prior.

So we figured this show has to be good! And the search for the samurai begun.
We searched high and low, visiting hidden asian video stores which conveniently were always closed when we went there.
Finally.
My friend messages me saying he has found The Samurai! At last we can enjoy the show that entertained thousands of young Australians in the past!

Onmitsu Kenshi here I come!

The Third & The Seventh

This is probably the best piece of art i have ever seen

.Fullscreen it, please.

A FULL-CG animated piece that tries to illustrate architecture art across a photographic point of view where main subjects
are already-built spaces. Sometimes in an abstract way. Sometimes surreal.

Rangefinder Cameras

Not so recently I found a love for rangefinders. The simplicity, the beauty, mmm... *drools*

So far I only have one rangefinder, the Minolta Hi-Matic F, presently my favorite 35mm film camera to use. Although i have yet to develop the first roll from that camera i'm sure i will be pleased, (i'll hopefully be able to post some photos up once their all done :)

Currently my dream camera is the Leica M9. Ask any one who's anyone that knows about cameras and they will assure you that Leica make some fantastic cameras, and the M9 is no exception.

The 18 megapixel image sensor, specifically designed and developed for the M9, is full frame! (For those of you who don't know what that means, basically the M9 enables capture of the full 35-mm film format without any compromise.)

Now I'm not going to turn this blog post into a M9 review, so back to rangefinders. One of the most important features that separates a rangefinder from lets say... a 'fat' SLR, is that the image you see when looking through the viewfinder is unaltered whether you are in focus or not, whether the shutter is open or not. You see the photo you took the split second it happened, as it happened.

OK, as much as i would love to go on about rangefinders, (different brands, other great features they have like how the shutter button works etc.), I have to get back to assignments so goodbye for now :)
