So glad a colleague at work pointed me to what Goldfinger were up to - making the most of social isolation in times of Covid-19!

I recently participated on a photo scavenger hunt on Google+ arranged by the awesome Chrysta Rae. Â The idea behind the hunt is that you have about a month to take photos of ten different subjects.

I was able to quickly snap a photo of the sign as we flew past it (I’m still using that 200mm zoom lens, I love it), posted it up online and never thought of it again. I was contacted by Playboy magazine for permission to use the photo in an article on the ranch. I never did receive the free copy of the magazine I requested, but I was able to track down the Oct 2009 issue which had the article, shown below. ...
The Nine Inch Nails set is here. The Jane’s Addiction set is here. I can’t really express how seriously awesome that night was. NIN were just damn amazing. It also makes quite a difference when posting these pictures to the appropriate groups on Flickr, here is the latest view-count graph of all my photos…

I just completely stumbled across this on Youtube. Misseri Studio were the creators of a great deal of the short 5 minute programs that were shown on ABC in Oz when I was growing up. Don’t remember any of their stuff? Here is an example: Go there. Now. http://www.youtube.com/user/MISSERISTUDIO
