362: Art excursion

Today is my brother's 21st birthday. So first of all Happy Birthday Nick! We decided to take ourselves off to GoMA where the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (apt6) exhibition is on, and took a look around. It was well worth it, so if you've got any spare time these holidays head over, the bonus is it's free! 

This was part of a installation by a collaboration of artists that work under the acronym of YNG. An old combie van/hut decorated with Yoshitomo Nara's art and objects to create a sense of wonder and discovery, very cool. I loved the monkey in the passenger seat and the little rubber duck on the dash.

329: Wind me up monkey

Discovered this little monkey at work today. You wind him up and he jumps a full back flip. I managed to borrow him for a few minutes and get some action piccies. A great opportunity to capture some quick movement, and boy does this guy jump fast. Faster than I realised. But I love the final effect in this photo - 3 stages of movement blended nicely together.
