JC’s Australian Daydream – Adventures in Photography

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Blue Deep Creek CRW 1790 JCs Australian Daydream   Adventures in PhotographySo I thought it was time to tell you all about a little side project I'm working on called JC's Australian Daydream. For something a little different, it's not film or video related. Some of you may already know this but last year I went on a three month trip from Melbourne, up the east coast of Australia to the very northern tip and back.

I had an awesome time driving solo in my four wheel drive, exploring this great land. Most importantly however, I documented the whole adventure with a photographic travel blog. At the time, I couldn't take advantage of all the technologies that are available to me now that I'm back home, so I'm relaunching the site from the beginning.

There's a whole new look and the entries have been rewritten to include stories I just could tell at the time (I didn't want family to worry to much). The best part is the Photography. Now that I've got time to sort through them and process them properly, they are looking amazing. And best yet, they are all for sale.

Another addition to the blog is the maps. Something I could do while on the road but I saved all the GPS tracking data and now you can see exactly where I was in the adventure. I'm sure this will be useful for anyone planning their own road-trip.

It's still in its early days but I'm constantly adding new and exciting stories and there's plenty more awesome Australian landscape photos to come.

Radio Control HPI Baja 5B KILLS Dog

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

So we though it would be a good idea to use a remote control HPI Baja 5B car to exercise the dogs. It was working so well. Until... Disaster struck. One of the dogs caught the RC Car by the front wheel and attacked. Spinning it round and around, she flung it into the other dog.

Angered by the car, she would not stop chasing it. Fearful that she would destroy it, the driver (no names mentioned here) kept it one step ahead of her for another 20 minutes before the dog eventually tired to the point of exhaustion.

She laid down, unable to catch her breath, frothing at the mouth, trying to whimper. She died of a heart attack.

Thankfully the Baja survived to torment another day.

For anyone taking this too seriously, the dogs were fine and unharmed, just very very tired.
