Artist Statement I live in South Africa and have been taking photos for the past 2 years or so. My work in the Film Industry took me to many places where not having a camera handy would be a sin, so I bought myself a Canon PowerShot A610 and started shooting.
The thing that draws me to photography is how you capture a moment in time, it's there forever, sometimes it's beautiful, sometimes horrifying, sometimes a small piece of serenity, but always beautiful, connected in some small way. For me it's about capturing that moment and presenting it to the viewer, who may look at something familiar and see a new dimension to it, perhaps even learn something about themselves. All art, in my opinion, is not about the medium or the subject, but about the balance between intention and perception.
My girlfriend works with porcelain, and together we work on (as yet unpublished) graphic novels and stop- animations, so I'm never far from the visual side of things.

"I received this fab little machine as a birthday present and I love it. Small enough to use and take anywhere with no effort, and fantastic results. No more struggling to wind the handle, set pressures and hold down the machine. The Diamond Press is a doddle to use and you can use any small slim die, can't wait for the embossing folders to be released. Well worth the wait, I love it." Minnie Green - 17/04/2016
Ally McBeal (1997) takes place in the same world as David E. Kelley's other television series The Practice (1997). Guest star Dylan McDermott appeared in the crossover episodes Ally McBeal: The Inmates (1998) and Ally McBeal: These Are The Days (1998) as his character "Bobby Donnell". The Practice (1997) premiered six months before Ally McBeal (1997). See more »
When "Ally McBeal" premiered in Australia in July 1997, I by perchance taped the pilot episode, not even knowing what it was about. It was that sole episode that drew me into "Ally" magic, which quickly dominated a dull Monday night, 8:30pm timeslot.
As a teenager who gives the typically teenaged aim of "Dawson's Creek", "Felicity" and "Charmed" a miss, "Ally" was a complete relief, despite the fact then I knew little about the law.
As expected from David E. Kelley, the characters and the actors portrayals of them are simply first rate. By far the best of the ensemble, Calista Flockhart in the title role is sensational as the insecure, uptight lawyer of Boston. The Ally character is bound to become a future cultural icon of the 1990s.
Peter MacNicol, as the weird John Cage, Greg Germann as the legally unaware, unsympathetic boss Richard Fish and Lucy Liu as the moody, bitchy Ling are the forefront supporting actors of the cast. Jane Krakowski as the snoopish, inventive secretary Elaine is pretty good too.
However, it is the weaker characters of Nelle (Portia deRossi), Georgia (Courtney Thorne-Smith), Billy (Gil Bellows) and Renee (Lisa Nicole Carson) that have begun to show their wear and tear in the second series. Merely, they seem to be paid for standing around looking pretty. Hopefully David E. Kelley will develop these characters more in the coming seasons, otherwise they will continue to be dominated by the stronger cast, looking like beautiful people dressed up with sex to look better than they really are.
The "Ally" cast, and their continuing ongoing struggles in the court room and in their personal lives in a dream of a law firm has been for the majority of the season, one of the most entertaining of the shows on the air today.
However, Kelley's creativity and imagery that goes into each special treat of an episode is excellent. For once, plot and character seem to go hand in hand. By breaking the barriers and creating a show that is neither four parts drama to one part comedy, or four parts comedy to one part drama, was the just the beginning of his dealing with controversial issues.
Since the cross over episode with Kelley's even better show "The Practice", I have graduated from little league law to the darker, grittier side of Boston which has now replaced "Ally" as my favourite show. But the allure for more "Ally" is still there.
As long as Kelley can continue to separate sex and controversy entirely from a show of pure genius, "Ally" will be continue to be fresh and by all means, a great show.

The movie haunts you long after watching it also. John Mathew Matthan did a fair job for a débutant. The story of a sincere police officer in Mumbai crime branch is just a front end for many other stories like love, friendship, patriotism, religion and bigotry etc.
Aamir Khan made excellent cop in Mumbai police. But, the character of Inspector Salim is the most impressive in the movie.
A must watch for all those movie buffs as this has been a very genuine effort to show what is happening across the Indo-Pak border. What made this film a different experience is the genuinity in the script.
Before Tim Burton was involved with the project, Anne Hathaway was offered the title role of Alice, but she turned it down because it was too similar to other roles she had previously played. However, she was keen to work with Burton, so was pleased to be cast as the White Queen. She shot all of her scenes in two weeks. See more »
