Girls with animals

I saw a set of those in a thread the other day but I can't find the link anymore. Its a set of pictures about girls with animals. They're pretty weird but for some reason I kind of like them.

Does anyone know the name of the artist and his / her site?

In addition: I've got full blown arachnophobia and live in Australia :P. Anyone else afraid of spiders bigger then a mans fist? 

Bad Day!

More wallpapers.

Had a bad day today so I'm not really in the mood to post anything else. Hope you guys are doing fine.

Filmmaking with todays technology

Here are two pictures I really like. They are semi related to what I am about to write though.

I am really into watching movies and making them myself. I've been to a student film festival the other day and I enjoyed watching a lot of the projects. Yet I thought that a lot of the shorts I've watched looked really good but in terms of story telling they really sucked.

I find that with the new DSLR cameras and other technology it became really easy to make a movie look good. Furthermore, I think that a lot of people started to neglect the stories of their films and that they are just trying to make them look pretty. For me the whole creative part of film making is slowly turning into something more technical. Something you would need a technician for rather than a creative mind.

Don't get me wrong. I still think there are some really great films out there. I just find that that a lot of new films have a really bad story or a story that has been seen a million times before. I am mostly referring to newly produced short films.

What are your opinions on this?

Lucid Dreaming

So I was thinking about picking up lucid dreaming the other day. I'm already practicing Zen Meditation which has a massive impact on my way of thinking and my physical state. Since my dreams are extremely vivid I thought I would give it a shot to get some creative inspirations for my screenplays I'm writing.

I had a few chats with some people who practice it but I never really looked into it. I looked up some threads on the internet and read some articles about it in a magazine, nothing serious really.

That is why I was wondering if you guys might know some good sites or books I could check out.

Also: Feel free to share any experiences / tips or other stuff related to the topic!

Nightmares

I had a really bad nightmare last night and it wouldn't let me wake up. My mind fooled me into thinking that i woke up but i didn't. It was a horrible experience just lying there in bed completely paralyzed for about 10 minutes!


Have you ever had an experience like this?

Post Apocalyptic

I'm writing a story which takes place in a post apocalyptic world at the moment. So i was looking for some good inspiration. Feel free to contribute ideas or pictures. How would your world look like?

Some trippy stuff ;)
