most people who know me
know i want to go back to volunteer work
and i am hoping to do that at the end of the year
So the plan is i am going to buy a round the world ticket
and fly back to Indonesia (Banda Aceh) and Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan
I also want to go to Darfur, Palestine, Chechnya, Cambodia and Brazil
I am going to do a video and photography project on children and hopefully teach children to take photos
I am hoping on sponsorship and assistance with Unicef, Kids with Cameras and also my friends of Global Peace Mission to help me work with the kids in the orphanage of Bassian and Banda Aceh
i am working on my exhibition
hoping on September to get the prints mounted
and ready for a fundraiser to help build a school
Anyway this is post of what I am planning
If you can help me that would be awesome
If you have a automatic photo camera you don’t want anymore
post it or hand it to me
I plan to use it to help teach the children
so far i bought 3 fairly good automatic camera from op shops
i need around 12
also need a video camera
but i might have to save up for that.
If anyone is interested in the adventure
and want to come I plan to leave in Feb 2008
maybe meet me and help out in the project somewhere
I also plan to stop in New York so I can meet up with the
people who run Kids with Cameras
they did the doco “Born into Brothelsâ€
I hope to be gone at least 4-5 months spending the last
months in Pakistan
in the early spring so i don’t have to fight snow
to build my school
okay that my plan
I believe in dreams and passions
my passion is to live my life
to understand what it means to live
I went to volunteer in Banda Aceh with the tsunami
I thought I was a cinematographer and photographer
but the first six days were hard
i hardly took a single photo
it was hard to deal with photographing grief
i found myself pulling dead bodies out of the carnage
just when i broke down and cried on the beach
then three kids on the beach made me make sand pits
they made me take their photos
that changed my life
so i longed to change myself
to learn why people live
to find what i call "Eternal Happiness"
it is a state where everything is complete
i have had this feeling several times
but to feel it forever is what i long for
So am going to return back to mountains soon
to go build my girls school in Manoor Valley of Kashmir
it is all i think about
must let my destiny unfold
even if it means everything i dream will come true
till then i still do a hundred thousand different jobs
I am a big lover of Crowded House,
I got told by my English teacher that I could bail my exams
to go their last concert as long as I wrote about the adventure to the Sydney opera house as a teenager
i was listening to Crowded House when the radio said Paul Hester committed suicide
this was before i was about to get onto a plane to volunteer for the tsunami relief
it is kinda wierd they are back playing
maybe it will lead to more adventures
one little bit of advise: When all goes bad, Dance...
At the moment I do these things
I have a film company called Dork
we do music videos
I also take photos and write articles
and Saturday night vjing for the night called "Jacket Off" at Veludos in St Kilda
otherwise i do video art installation for "Gotye"
i make alot of video art
i hardly have time to sleep
but i love sleeping
i want to understand my dreams
One day i will find out who I am...
One day i dream of a simple life.
