My friend and fellow photographer Albert Cheung is exhibiting a series of photos he took in India this past year at the re:creative gallery space located at 116 Chambers Street (2nd floor). If you missed his work earlier this year at the Sky House, here’s your chance to get in on some of the wonderful images he’s capturing.
Head down to re:creative on Thursday, November 19th from 4PM-7PM to check it out.

Thanks to the wonder of instant movies via Netflix, I watched a wonderfully cute and hilarious film called Outsourced the other night. Flo and I couldn’t decide on what to watch, so we just chose something that we had never heard of. It’s always a nice surprise to completely go into a movie blind.
The movie is a comedy about a guy who loses his job when it gets outsourced to India. But before he can move on, he has to live in India and train the new team to make sure they can do the job just as well as he did in America. Cultures clash, habits are taught, and language barriers are crossed when one person is thrust into the world of over a billion others.
Anyway, the movie is clearly a winner in a lot of people’s eyes as the film has won a handful of awards from festivals all over the world. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and I recommend that you watch it if you’re into good movies at all.
If you’ve got a Netflix account, watch it instantly tonight, or rent it on DVD at your local shop!

Tonight, I went to a cricket game between notorious rivals Australia and India. I don’t follow cricket at all, mostly because every time I catch it on TV, I just can’t seem to stop myself from laughing at how ridiculous it looks to play.
Anyway, funny or not, the cricket game I went to was pretty high profile, so the crowd was exciting and that definitely attributed towards my liking of the game.
It was a Twenty20 type cricket game, which means that it was quicker and thus more like the length of traditional sports in most other countries (a friend tells me that “regular” cricket games can last several DAYS). As it turns out, team Australia is actually a very good team internationally and they kicked India’s butt, going on to eventually win the game.
Check out some more photos inside of the Twenty20 cricket game at MCG in Melbourne.
