this started out as a joke (and still kinda is if you squint) i had but then gradually became a relationship study between two characters who are pushed to their absolute limits by the people who made them; until they eventually disconnect from their humanity and become...gods among mere mortals. genesis rejects godhood, while kaleb—as we all know—embraces it.

...actually, i might make some art that further explores this concept. 😅

Ten ways to photograph an Albatross

Albatross, ten ways. There are more! How do we keep things fresh and creative when we're photographing the same subjects day after day?

Classic portrait Are we surprised that I took lots of albatross photographs during three months living and working on Antipodes island? Not really. But how do you keep things fresh and interesting from a photographic point of view? There are only so many ways to make images of big glorious birds causing around the landscape. Birdscape My most-used lens for the trip was the Nikon 28-200mm.…

I first saw it when I was heading towards Shanghai to promote the Treaty of Amity and Commerce. It was nibbling on a waterfowl under the steel bridge, gulping it down along with its feathers. I exclaimed loudly, pointing towards the southeast waters. When everyone turned their heads, the area was devoid of anything but a few ripples. A few weeks later I saw it again by the Suzhou River. Crimson tail, and a face which resembled the locals. In broken Chinese, I asked the grandmother living by the river if she had seen a similar creature. She mentioned that there used to be water spirits here, and a child had drowned. I asked other locals as well. The driver I knew from the embassy said it's a merman he saw when he was young. Another playboy said it might be a gimmick of an underground dance hall to attract customers. They would have mermaid performances, with people swimming in glass tanks wearing fish tails. He was from a prestigious local family with insights into such matters. But I knew the mermaid didn't come from there. It didn't seem like something which belongs to this world.

After social gatherings, I often took walks by the Suzhou River and frequently asked for hard bread from restaurant kitchens to feed river fish. Usually, within seconds, the bread would be devoured by the hungry school of fish. But sometimes, it would float there for a while before decomposing. So I knew there must be something underwater deterring the fish. That's when I began to throw more valuable items. Plastic toys, glass bottles, metal pocket watches, and a wooden mermaid sculpture I carved myself. Without exception, they sank into the riverbed, at that place where strange things often occurred.

Later on, I got into a shipwreck on my way back to Shanghai from Guangzhou. I woke up in a public hospital in Shanghai. My assigned doctor was Dr. Chen. He is a sharp and indifferent person who seemed to dislike Westerners, which was understandable. We colonized his homeland and exploited his people.

The nurses form the hospital said that I was found on a shallow in Fengxian. There were a few rotting sea fish and a small bottle of rum the size of a pocket. Back then, I was certain that this creature saved me. But I didn't tell anyone because it sounded too crazy. Whether it truly existed or was just a psychological defense mechanism to alleviate anxiety and fear during the tumultuous 1940s, I couldn't say. Because after that, I never saw it again.

Hey, guys. It's been a while. Antipode isn't dead, but obviously I haven't touched it in a while. To make a long story short, I'm just kinda burned out. I got up to the end of Neverland remastered for the first fic and outlined Hollow Bastion's remasters but then I got really into Persona again after playing Persona 5 royal and growing to adore Akechi, thereby starting a Persona longfic as just a way to refresh and start something new. Now, this doesn't mean I'll never come back to Antipode. However, time away's made me realize that a big problem as things currently stand is... ambition. I had considered making another set of fics after All That's Left. Upon further evaluation, I think I may genuinely need to rework my plans for Act 3 to serve as a conclusion, at least in the event that I don't have any motivation to make another saga. Then there's Hurricane Heartbeat, which despite promising a sequel years ago, still hasn't come to pass. My co-writer at the time had done a lot of brainstorming and spitballing to try and help me work up the motivation. At some point, I should really go over those notes and figure out what I wanna do. Now's just not the right time. Maybe KH4 or Missing Link will rekindle that spark. Right now, my head's just not in the best place. But Antipode has gone on long breaks before. I'm sure I'll eventually sort this out.

DeVore Fidelity O/Reference Speakers Now On Demo as Part of our New Flagship System!

Hi Everyone,

It was a big day last Friday as we finally got to unpack and setup our new 4 box DeVore Fidelity O/Reference speakers as part of our new Highend Room setup which basically meant spinning the room round so we now run our sources and preamp at the rear of the room to give centre stage to the speakers and amps, this is something I have wanted to do for a while so it is a great job done, there is still plenty of work to do sorting out all the cabling and I really need to get a turntable in the system asap but even straight out the box it is all sounding so good that I just wanted to share some pictures on the system.

For anyone who knows me they will know that I have become a big fan of DeVore Fidelity's range of speakers so I took the plunge at the beginning of last year to order a pair of their Reference speakers, these are priced around £120,000 so it was certainly a big decision, then began the journey of putting a system together to really show them off which I feel we have really achieved with some of the best equipment on sale in the world today and I have to say even straight out the box it is sounding incredible.

It's no lie that on first listening it actually bought me to tears, really wasn't expecting that and I wasn't thinking about how much it all cost, honest, it was due to the pure emotion this system can convey, it is totally engaging and lifelike, it just makes you want to listen to all your favourite music again as it is like you are hearing it for the 1st time, it really is everything I was hoping it would be, and more to be honest, now I just want anyone who loves music to come in for a listen anytime as the room will be setup like it is now for many years to come to be enjoyed by all our customers, it's going to be a struggle to home in the evenings to be honest.

Please find a list of the system we have put together -
