On what was probably the coldest day so far this year, I gave my testimony and was baptised at Grange beach earlier today. Many thanks to everyone who came, and all my family and friends who have supported and prayed for me over the years.<br />
<br />
If you missed it, here is the transcript of my speech, complete with excessive punctuation and incorrect grammar, used in an effort to slow down my talking, and make it flow better for reading aloud.<br />
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">Hi everyone,
my name is Rohan, and today I would like to share with you some of what God has
done in my life, and why I’ve chosen to be baptised. Along with several of our
awesome youth kids; Jacinta, Tim & Kirstie, we have made the decision of
taking a public step of commitment and faith in God by being baptised today; although
they’re doing it a tad earlier than I am.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">I’ve been
coming to Grange since before I was born, brought up in strong, loving
Christian family home with my parents, and two brothers. While I’d thought of
myself as being a Christian since I was 6 or 7 years old, I didn’t fully
understand who God was, or what being a Christian really meant. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">This changed
to a more serious faith at a Franklin Graham outreach event I attended when I
was 13 years old. There wasn’t anything earth-shattering being said compared to
what I’d heard for years at church, but God really spoke to me at that point,
and I felt a strong push to go up the front, and declare my faith in Jesus as
my saviour. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">After
struggling a with bullying and social exclusion in primary school, knowing that
Jesus would always love and accept me, even if most people didn’t, was a great
reassurance. Now, I’d like to be able to
say that my life since then has been amazing, happy and easy. However, after a
couple of years of a regular life as a teenage boy, eating ten Weet-bix for
breakfast, without much to challenge my faith in God’s goodness, I stumbled
onto a rocky, difficult path of chronic illness, that has tested my faith to
the breaking point time and time again, over the course of many years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">As some of
you may be aware, I’ve struggled with some very debilitating and serious health
problems for a long time. It all started in January 2000, with a chronic food
poisoning infection in my digestive system which has prevented me from living a
full life, being able study and work like everyone else my age. To give a very brief
outline, this infection has caused the muscles in my stomach to become
paralysed, and completely unable to digest any food or water.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"> So as of today,
I’ve been unable to eat even a mouthful of food or drink for the past 1,221
days, or 3 years and 4 months if you don’t have a calculator on you. Instead, I
receive liquid nutrition for 13 hours a day, pumped by a machine through a feeding
tube, which was surgically inserted into my intestinal tract, just below the
stomach in November 2010, and is essentially what keeps me alive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"> At times, these symptoms have been so severe
as to render me hospitalised, then bedridden, and completely unable to function
for nearly a year at a time; namely during 2002, 2006 and 2010. Overall, there
hasn’t been a single day since I was 15 years old where I’ve felt well and
healthy, which has caused enormous struggles with my faith, healing, the
effectiveness of prayer, and the concept of God’s kindness and mercy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"> How can
suffering through so many years of debilitating illness be his great plan for
my life? What kind of God just sits back and watches people suffering, when he
could so easily heal them? It’s hard singing praise songs in church, when
you’re feeling too sick to stand up and take part, and difficult to align God’s
goodness, with being simply too ill to even go to church in the first place,
month after month.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">Perhaps one
of the reasons I haven’t chosen to be baptized until now, is that while I’ve
been a Christian for a long time, for much of the past 14 years, when I have
prayed, cried out and begged God to heal my body, my prayers seemed to go
unanswered, with no response, or even a feeling of God’s presence; just the
torturous physical suffering, while feeling terribly alone and abandoned. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">And
while baptism is a declaration of commitment, not warm fuzzy feelings, I feel
that 5 years ago, I would have had to come up with a testimony that would be forced,
and just something that I thought was what a testimony “should” sound like. But
as I’ll explain, I think that now is the right time for me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">So clearly, I’ve
had a very tough journey for the second half of my life. However, in the midst
of all that suffering, there have been numerous examples of God stepping in as
an answer to prayer, showing his love and care, and reassuring me that I’m not
battling through this alone.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">On March 16<sup>th</sup>,
2012, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer; six weeks before I married my
lovely wife Sally, and the day between her birthday and bridal shower;
incredibly poor timing at best. Later that afternoon, we were also told that
the house Sally had been renting, which we planned to move into following the
wedding, had to be vacated a few weeks afterward. Obviously, the cancer
diagnosis was some shocking news, and for a couple of days afterward, I was
freaked out, tense, shaky and upset about what was going to happen to me. </span><span style="line-height: 107%;">But
after visiting a friend’s house with Sally, at first discussing, and then
praying about the cancer and upcoming surgery with them and Sally, the feelings
of terror and dread melted away.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">This might
sound a bit weird, but despite having already gone through so much with my
stomach problems- only to have this dumped on top of it- the times surrounding
my cancer diagnosis, surgery and recovery were accompanied by the strongest
sense of God’s presence and comfort I’d ever felt in my life. This feeling was
amazing, as well as surprising, considering how much I felt God had abandoned
me in my times of need with my stomach problems, and that it would still be a
while before we knew whether the cancer had spread, or if I would need further
treatment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">For the
first time, I finally experienced the emotions and calmness described in
Philippians Chapter 4, Verse 7; “And the peace of God, which transcends all
understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">Now, it’s
not like my heart rate wasn’t a little elevated while lying in the hospital bed,
waiting to go into surgery, particularly considering they were hacking through
a fairly sensitive area to remove the tumour. But by praying, denouncing Satan
and any power he tried to hold over me, and running praise songs through my
head, I was at peace with what was about to happen to me, feeling safe in the
knowledge that God had his hand over me, and that everything would be ok.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">Not only was
the strong sense of ‘peace beyond all understanding’ present, but God’s practical
and material blessings were also abundant during this time. While trying to
sort out living arrangements, it came up in conversation with my parents that a
house owned by extended family had been empty for several years, and made the
suggestion that couldn’t we live there for a year or so, until the property was
sold? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">In a
humbling display of generosity from family, friends and strangers, hordes of
people descended on the messy and overgrown house and jungle-like yards, putting
in lots of hard work to transform it into a suitable home, where we could live
rent-free for some time. This was an amazing blessing, with my health too poor
to work much at all, allowing Sally to study full-time at TAFE and Bible
College, as well as work 25 hours a week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">And just in
case we hadn’t noticed this blatant display of God’s provision, he made sure of
it with the house literally being a 30 second walk away from Sally’s work
across the road. In addition, an internet car enthusiast community, which I’ve
been a part of for many years, banded together after hearing about my health
problems. A group of people, many of
whom </span><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">I've</span><span style="line-height: 107%;"> never met in person, threw $6000 in a hat as a wedding gift for us ,
and helped to clean up the house inside and out; the abundance of God’s
blessings was even clearer. The only thing missing was God plonking a flashing
neon sign on the front lawn, quoting the first part of Isaiah 41:10; ‘Fear not,
for I am with you’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">On our
wedding day in April 2012, we had to contend with a fairly significant number
of problems compared to most newlyweds our age. Such as me having a feeding tube plugged into
the left side of my intestinal tract. A bag of antibiotics, liquid feed
bottles, and enough medications to tranquilize a small herd of elephants.
Recent surgery to remove a cancerous tumour, with a gaping wound that needed
frequent dressing changes, and uncertainty about our ability to have kids
following that. Unable to eat or drink, lugging around a feed machine instead. Very little income besides a disability
pension and occasional photography work. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">But God had blessed me with an
incredibly generous, loving and understanding wife in Sally who was OK with all
that! Well, apart from the wound dressing changes anyway, which I did myself. Apparently,
it’s not considered ‘romantic’ to spend half an hour with a dressing kit,
cleaning out a gory wound on your husband’s torso, while lying on your bed in
the honeymoon suite.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">Life has
still continued to be very difficult since then, with almost permanent nausea
and fatigue at various levels, and some days where the stress, frustration and
anger at my dysfunctional body boils over, and I break down in tears. But
again, when I settle down and think about it, God has quietly provided moments
of mercy when needed in recent times, of which I’d like to give just one
example.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">While
spending 2 months in hospital at the end of 2010, a skeletal 50kg and clinging
on to life, the idea of going on an overseas holiday, or even a plane to
another city, was far beyond something I would have comprehended as being possible,
being barely able to muster the energy to sit up in bed. But, a couple of years
later, not only was I able to spend three amazing weeks touring New Zealand,
but was at the point where I even went skydiving and bungy jumping!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">Another more
recent example of God’s timely intervention was during a weekend trip on Peter
and Vikki Hart’s houseboat a couple of months ago, with our small group. After
mistakenly trying to get to Blanchetown via Murray Bridge, which while being a
lovely drive, is NOT the fastest way to get there, I had already been feeling
pretty awful the few days previous, with severe nausea and fatigue putting a
dampener on things, that I would otherwise enjoy doing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">The first
half an hour was rather unpleasant; my already high nausea levels exacerbated
by the gentle rocking motion of the boat, as we putted down the river. While
everyone else was sitting around on the front deck, chatting and laughing while
tucking into a plate of cheese and crackers, I was pacing inside the kitchen
area, trying to breathe slowly and settle the nausea, without much success; calculating
and dreading the remaining hours of the weekend that I would have to spend
feeling like this.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"> Noticing my distress, Sally brought Vikki over to pray for
me. In a frustrated and angry mood, I was not expecting anything to happen,
like so many other times when people have prayed for healing for me. But over
the next few minutes, after the heartfelt request to God for healing, the
nausea gradually dissipated until it was at a low enough level where I could actually
enjoy the weekend, rather than being forced to endure it. Not only that, but I
was able to jump on a jet-ski, and went knee-boarding behind a speedboat,
albeit in a somewhat uncoordinated fashion for the most part.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">So while my
body is still stricken with illness, preventing me from living a ‘normal’ life,
which can at times be frustrating, scary, upsetting and depressing, God has
still blessed me many times in the midst of all my times of trouble. These
blessings are not full physical healings, and certainly not a complete return
to good health. But, these ‘small mercies’ have allowed me to experience hope,
joy, love, peace, and fulfilment in what can be very trying circumstances; keeping
my hope, and faith in God, and helping me to appreciate what I do have. So
whatever the future may hold, with this public declaration of faith and
commitment, I trust that God will guide my amazing wife Sally and I in making
the most of our lives, working for his glory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">You will
more than likely have experienced some incredibly difficult circumstances in
your own lives, be it through illness, family difficulties, death, or loss. But
I would like to leave you with this thought. If you sit down and really think
about it- and maybe even write out a list of them- what are some of the many
blessings God has shown you in your life, or in the lives of others? Does it
change the way you feel about His mercy and grace? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">It doesn’t
mean your life will be easy; or that God will fix all your problems for good. Two
weeks ago, I had to leave the church service after about 20 minutes, because simply
standing, then even just sitting up, was more than I could physically tolerate.
I almost fainted while trying to drive home, swapping seats with Sally halfway
there, before spending several hours curled up in the foetal position on our
couch. Writing this testimony made me feel so sick; I couldn’t even look at my
first draft for a week.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"> But, God is always there, carrying you through your
troubles, even if it doesn’t feel like it at times. And if you haven’t made a
commitment to follow Jesus, I hope that my story has helped give you some
understanding of what he is capable of doing in your life, no matter how trying
the circumstances, if you will just open your hearts and minds to him. And, for
those of you still awake at this point, thanks for listening, and I’ll see you
down at the beach!<span style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Some extensive discussion about the shocking - but not surprising - step the Chicago Sun-Times took earlier this year; laying off its entire photo staff of 28 people, among them Pulitzer prize winner John H. White, replacing them with pictures from the iphones of reporters:<br />

<br />
Looking through the amazing gallery of images that John H. White has captured in his career, it's sad to see that his journey as a veteran newspaper photojournalist comes to an end with a piece of paper, his four decades of experience and prodigious talent replaced by reporters with an iphone, who have not been educated in any way about visual journalism.<br />

Something to ponder for photographers and smartphone users alike; when does image and video capturing get to the point where it detracts from the experience itself, such as a concert or wedding? I've certainly crossed that line more than a few times myself; being busy capturing the moment as oppose to living and enjoying it: <a href="http://petapixel.com/2013/07/13/pictures-over-experience/">http://petapixel.com/2013/07/13/pictures-over-experience/</a><br />

Many photographers receive 'offers' from companies to let them work for free, or in their words, 'exposure'. I've had these requests come in here and there over the years. Professional courtesy generally commands a polite reply, but this musician kind of went the other way, in response to an insulting offer to use his work for free from a TV producer from a large UK company. It's what most creative types wish they could say: <a href="http://petapixel.com/2013/11/12/musicians-letter-becomes-template-telling-publishes-want-work-free/">http://petapixel.com/2013/11/12/musicians-letter-becomes-template-telling-publishes-want-work-free/</a><br />

A surreal and somewhat amusing project from American photographer Nina Goldstein, showing her interpretation of what Disney princesses' lives might be like, following the 'happily ever after' endings of their respective fairy-tale stories: <a href="http://www.demilked.com/fallen-princesses-dina-goldstein/">http://www.demilked.com/fallen-princesses-dina-goldstein/</a><br />
<br />
The images are visually striking, ethereal and quite jarring, mostly because you're so used to seeing these characters in their sickly-sweet pretend Disney worlds. The photo of Rapunzel in particular is one that made me stop in my tracks. The picture shows her sitting on the side of a bed in hospital, bald, with her golden locks in a plait trailing from the bed and onto the floor, accompanied by an IV drip, implying she is having chemotherapy.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Chicago Tribune photojournalist Andy Garcia talks about photographing a famous local chef over the course of several years, who sadly passed away earlier this week. He sounds like a very nice guy, and a great subject to work with.</span><br />
<a href="http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/assignment-chicago/2013/11/photographing-charlie-trotter-an-appreciation.html?utm_content=buffer9630c&utm_source=buffer&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Buffer"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/assignment-chicago/2013/11/photographing-charlie-trotter-an-appreciation.html</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-charlie-trotter-obit-20131105,0,1530510,full.story">http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-charlie-trotter-obit-20131105,0,1530510,full.story</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">On a related note, I had a call last week from the son of a truck driver who I'd photographed about 4-5 years ago, at the Wingfield BP truck stop here in Adelaide. He was a great character, and we chatted for a little while as I took some pictures of him. I was saddened to hear that he passed away a couple of years ago, but it was tinged with a note of sweetness, as it meant a lot to the son to find these pictures of his father that he'd never seen before.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A collection of highly emotion-charged imagery from the past century or so. Some of them may cause distress given the content, so be warned; the one that actually hit me the hardest was a photo of a wall. But not just any wall; it's the wall of one the gas chambers at Auschwitz, covered with fingernail scratch-marks. <a href="http://www.boredpanda.com/must-see-powerful-photos/" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-size: 13px;" target="_blank">http://www.boredpanda.com/<wbr></wbr>must-see-powerful-photos/</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I'll run through some of my thoughts about the other pictures as well: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The scene in photo #3 is one that's quite familiar to me; it was shot by legendary National Geographic magazine photojournalist James Stanfield, and has been featured in several photography books, as well as the magazine. He perfectly captured the feeling of what the mood would be like after a marathon open heart surgery; the doctor looking exhausted but satisfied, with his patient on the operating table alive due to the successful surgery, and his assistant passed out asleep in the back corner of the room. Looking at the tangle of wires and tubes attached to the patient, to say nothing of the surgery wounds you can't see, it's amazing what the human body can recover from.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">#4 is a nice family album memory, showing a father and son walking hand in hand in the yard in 1949. On its own, the photo isn't anything particularly special for the casual observer, but it's accompanied by another photo, showing the same scene and people, but 60 years later in 2009. In the first photo it's clear that the father is taking care of and looking after his son, who looks to be around 6 or 7 when the photo was taken. In the updated version, it appears that the roles have been reversed; the father is elderly, looking a bit frail and walking with a cane, while his now grey-haired son towers over him alongside.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">#6 certainly catches your eye, being such an unusual scene; a lone Russian solder with a machine gun slung over his back is playing a piano which looks to be sitting in the middle of a forest. It's a picture that makes you ask questions, like why the soldier is alone, who put the piano there, and does it actually work ok?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">#9 is a bit of a cutesy one, showing a CFA volunteer firefighter giving a koala a drink of water while holding one of its paws, during the lethal 2009 Victorian 'Black Saturday' bushfires. In a time of destruction, death and suffering, a light-hearted picture like this helped to lift peoples' spirits in a way;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">#14, while nothing special in a technical sense, is actually kind of depressing to look at and think about, captioned 'alcoholic father and his son'. A young boy of perhaps 4 or 5 is trying to pull his father up by his shirt, who is partially slumped sitting on a gravel road. If this is what the boy is used to doing already- helping his publicly drunk father walk - his home life must be difficult. It has a very different tone to the father-son photo #4.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">#17 depicts a scene which would appall pretty much everyone; a five year old Gyspy boy holding a lighter while smoking a cigarette. It was taken in 2006, so not a long time ago, and is quite jarring given the health implications of a kid smoking at such a young age.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">#23 shows just a tiny segment of the utter devastation caused to Japanese towns from the 2011 tsunamis. Mangled metal, trees, houses and furniture are piled in heaps from the foreground to the horizon, with a distraught woman sitting on the road in tears.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This is a similar series of images, but all different to the ones in the first post. Again, you may find a some of the photos distressing: <a href="http://www.boredpanda.com/must-see-historic-moments/" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-size: 13px;" target="_blank">//www.boredpanda.com/<wbr></wbr>must-see-historic-moments/</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In local news, the Shahin family company Peregrine has purchased the Tailem Bend Motorsport Park land, reportedly planning to spend $40 million on the site to turn it into a world-class motorsport facility in the next year or two. <a href="http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/19731345/owners-share-plans-for-sa-motorsport-park/" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-size: 13px;" target="_blank">http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/<wbr></wbr>19731345/owners-share-plans-<wbr></wbr>for-sa-motorsport-park/</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It's quite far away from the city compared to the current drag racing facility at Adelaide International Raceway, meaning events would be harder to get to for many people, but it's certainly exciting to have something like this in the pipeline.</span><br />

Unfortunately, the accident pretty much put him out of business:</span><br />

Here's some very cool slow-motion footage, showing the amazing tire deformation of various drag cars while launching their way down the quarter mile. Much of it is shot at 300 frames per second, but about halfway through there's a Corvette Stingray launching shot at 600 frames per second, or 5% of normal speed. You can even see the firing order of the engine from the side pipes. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfJejgODr3E">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfJejgODr3E</a><br />

In related news, F1 head honcho Bernie Ecclestone had an awkward moment due to a revolving door and lots of cameras outside the High Court in London: <a href="http://jalopnik.com/bernie-ecclestone-is-so-rich-he-doesnt-know-how-to-ope-1459536635">http://jalopnik.com/bernie-ecclestone-is-so-rich-he-doesnt-know-how-to-ope-1459536635</a><br />

A photographer's attempt to sue Australian newspaper 'The Age' for psychological damage, post-traumatic stress disorder and major depression, claimed to be a result of working on stories about the terrorist bombings in Bali just over a decade ago, has been declined. However, the court did declare that it was almost certain the claimant would never be able to work as a photographer again: <a href="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/media/age-trauma-leads-to-calls-for-industry-to-act-on-risks-of-reporting/story-e6frg996-1226733834070">http://www.theaustralian.com.au/media/age-trauma-leads-to-calls-for-industry-to-act-on-risks-of-reporting/story-e6frg996-1226733834070</a><br />
<br />
In my line of work, which has mostly been focused around shooting trucks and cars for magazines, I've not witnessed even a small fraction of what a news photographer would over years of service. The difficult situations I've been presented with are minimal, generally traffic or racing accidents, but even those have had an impact on me, despite being fairly removed from the situation. Constantly working on the subject of terrorism, seeing and photographing terribly injured victims would have to be very difficult to deal with.<br />

This is a very cool and unique version of one of the most popular hot rod bases out there, an early 1930s Ford roadster. While looking fairly 'normal' from outside sitting on the salt flats at Bonneville, a closer inspection under the hood reveals a very unusual power-plant for an old hot rod; a 600hp turbocharged Nissan RB20 motor, the same as my Cefiro. Bonus points to the owner for thinking outside the box, although some traditional hot rodders might not be huge fans of sticking a newer Japanese engine into an old American hot rod:<br />

I've been busy and haven't had the chance to post anything for the past few days, so here's a whole bunch of links to make up for it:<br />
<br />
<br />
A heavily modified Ford GT with 2000hp hits 278mph in only one mile, from a standing start: <a href="http://www.carthrottle.com/witness-a-278mph-ford-gt-smash-the-texas-mile-record/">http://www.carthrottle.com/witness-a-278mph-ford-gt-smash-the-texas-mile-record/</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Car blogs and websites frequently post videos and pictures of exotic cars, usually of Italian descent, going up in flames. This time it's a video of a Ford Falcon ute, showing the tray engulfed in flames, which are quickly quelled with extinguishers by several other people nearby. He then continues his drive to work like nothing happened, which doesn't seem like the best idea:<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Some great footage of rally cars getting a whole lot of air on a jump in Switzerland. Competition level rally cars obviously have a lot of modifications to handle this kind of treatment, but I can't help but think that the brutal landings must have bent at least a few chassis out of shape upon landing:<br />
<a href="http://jalopnik.com/this-is-a-jump-for-cars-on-the-side-of-a-cliff-1453411744">http://jalopnik.com/this-is-a-jump-for-cars-on-the-side-of-a-cliff-1453411744</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
A 600hp Mitsubishi Lancer Evo ascending a treacherously wet and steep hill climb course in Switzerland. There are some pretty hairy moments when the car gets crossed up under power. I don't like the way Evos sound all that much in comparison to its most common rival, the Subaru WRX, but only in the sense that their engine and exhaust note tends to be rather flat and characterless. This particular example has a tough soundtrack though:<br />
<a href="http://youtu.be/vdeW_VR8J9o">http://youtu.be/vdeW_VR8J9o</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In stark contrast to the Evo's flat drone, this open-wheeler's 3 litre V8 emits a deliciously aggressive, high pitched howl as it blasts through the course, leaving a deafening roar reverberating around the hillsides in its wake. Turn your speakers up. Lots. <a href="http://youtu.be/vdeW_VR8J9o">http://youtu.be/vdeW_VR8J9o</a><br />
<br />
<br />
While your speakers are turned up, watch and listen to this one too; a great variety of cars, engines and noises. The Lancia Delta Integrale at 1:30 sounds particularly deranged: <a href="http://youtu.be/mT2kNSOfXZ4">http://youtu.be/mT2kNSOfXZ4</a><br />

This Tata Xenon 'Tuff Truck' is something a bit different. I like it. Looks tough, as its name suggests.<br />

Well this is awkward. It would be embarrassing to stack your chopper anywhere, let alone in your own driveway, in front of your wife.

Red Bull is always coming up with cool ideas. Like racing a V8 Supercar against a plane on the beach in Queensland: <a href="http://blog.powerblocktv.com/v8-supercar-vs-airplane-race-on-an-australian-beach/">http://blog.powerblocktv.com/v8-supercar-vs-airplane-race-on-an-australian-beach/</a><br />

This certainly could have turned out a whole lot worse; a rally car barrel-rolling within arm's length of a crowd usually doesn't end well. The little hatchback rolls over so quickly it's almost impossible to count how many times it went over. The driver must have been awfully dizzy when the car finally came to rest: <a href="http://jalopnik.com/watch-this-car-roll-over-about-47-times-and-somehow-not-1454270653">http://jalopnik.com/watch-this-car-roll-over-about-47-times-and-somehow-not-1454270653</a><br />

Some photos of artwork by UK street artist 'Banksy'. They're far from being what many people would traditionally consider 'art', in that they're large 3D sculptures or sets, not just paint on a flat canvas. I love the first one in particular; a waterfall scene set up inside of a small rigid truck that drives around NYC. There's also a slaughterhouse version, that is not pictured. It would be a lot of fun driving one of those trucks around and tripping people out when they notice what's inside. Some of his pieces involve skirting around the law, like breaking into a zoo to tag an elephant with spraypaint, as well as more dangerous exploits, for example on the West Bank wall on the Israeli/Palestinian border:<br />

Just navigating this treacherously narrow and steep ridge, then making a straightforward jump on a bike over a 72-foot canyon drop would be challenging enough in itself, but this brave lad throws a backflip into the mix for good measure: <a href="http://fstoppers.com/this-gopro-video-of-a-biker-going-down-a-ridge-line-will-leave-your-palms-sweaty">http://fstoppers.com/this-gopro-video-of-a-biker-going-down-a-ridge-line-will-leave-your-palms-sweaty</a><br />

Add heavy fog to cars and trucks doing highway speeds and the result isn't pretty. Once cars having started building up a pile in the middle of the road, there's little they can do to stop the cycle: <a href="http://jalopnik.com/this-is-the-real-danger-of-foggy-roads-1451681466">http://jalopnik.com/this-is-the-real-danger-of-foggy-roads-1451681466</a><br />

This 911 driver probably needed some fresh underwear after this close call. I had a couple of interesting moments yesterday on the roads, with a van and AMG C63 pulling out in front of me, but nowhere near as scary as this: <a href="http://www.carthrottle.com/witness-this-porsche-911-driver-avoid-a-huge-smash-on-a-french-autoroute/">http://www.carthrottle.com/witness-this-porsche-911-driver-avoid-a-huge-smash-on-a-french-autoroute/</a><br />

I struggle a lot with the issue of work and income, having been sick for so many years and not physically capable, but having hopes, aspirations and dreams are important for your mental health, whether or not they're going to make you piles of money.<br />

A tasty new Ferrari F12 shreds some rubber around Anglesey Race Circuit, piloted by Chris Harris, whose job is envied by roughly 99.5% of males who have a pulse.

Quite a few photographers have made the transition to shooting videos as well as photos in the past few years. Here are some good tips from a video editor's perspective, regarding everything from shooting b-roll footage to effectively creating a story from a bunch of clips: <a href="http://fstoppers.com/become-a-better-videographer-shoot-like-a-video-editor">http://fstoppers.com/become-a-better-videographer-shoot-like-a-video-editor</a><br />

ABC's Media Watch program ran a story last night on an issue that raised some ire among photographers when it was announced last month; Tennis Australia requesting job applications from sports photographers to shoot the Australian Open in Melbourne. Which doesn't sound bad in itself, but despite a long list of what they're looking for, including experience in photography, your own equipment, in-depth knowledge of tennis, a strong portfolio of sports images, and what looks like dawn-to-dusk working hours for two weeks, the positions are those of unpaid volunteers: <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s3868825.htm">http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s3868825.htm</a><br />

Here's a screen-cap of the actual ad on seek.com.au. Which is pretty ridiculous; any takers would be essentially paying to 'work' for Tennis Australia, a large corporation with revenue of roughly $200m a year.<br />
