Shoot down to Jamaica, pretty white sand
Suntan oil, pina colada in ya hand
Layin’ up at night, peepin’ out stars
Remember when we was in the club at the bar?
I told ya my status, was that of a don
You thought I was a dog and you ain’t wanna get it on
But my mind has attractin’ qualities
On the emotions of a young lady

Suddenly, I was interrupted by a faint shout from the depths of my soul:

‘Wake up Kundalini,’ yelled out a voice identical to my own.

Not surprisingly the Kundalini woke up, but not like a wild serpent but instead like that of a wave gently finishing up its journey onto a sandy beach. The flow emanated from my lower spine and was creeping its way into my brain.

There’s the 12 stones, that go to the 12 tribes of Israel that the priests wear on the breastplate which a lot of people don’t really talk about.

One of the rabbis who provided the list said “you have to be pure of heart when you’re using the stones that I listed out because they’ll be harmful to you if you are not.”

This blog already has a number of composite images, including photos of people who have not met or physically seen me, and who likely don’t know about their use in such images, as a result of their appearance in a photo published under an according license.

Other rights do exist, as well as interpersonal and cultural considerations and tastes, but there are photographers (not all) who encourage their works to be altered and changed – like with music. That includes in private and public spaces.

If people can’t explain their actions and boundaries, other people can do so within that vacuum. On the other side of rights are obligations and  I may not want my photo taken, but does that obligate another not to do so? How are opposing points-of-view reconciled regarding self-image in a dualistic world?

On another level, perhaps the photographer and subject are even one and the same.

[ 20 Aug 2017 ]

I was using a Canon G9X M2 from early 2017 onward, a pocket camera, and taking photos was part of my journey, and the same journey would’ve taken place whether I had it or not. I didn’t even need to (fully) stop to take photos and its high resolution meant I could frame subjects later in editing if need be. This has already been mentioned in this post. Walking along the beach was important for grounding to the earth.

It had a touch focus/shutter and could be used with one hand.

If only more people shot with cameras instead of guns or syringes.

1994: Toby is Dead. Long live Toby.

I never saw him in his final days but I did get a last good-bye.

(last updated: 7 March 2025)

In 1994, I made the film “Toby is dead” with our Border Collie for media class and it was shown to the class for inspiration.

I used all the tricks he knew and completed the film without editing as a string of one-shot takes where he walks around Como park, swims in the Yarra River, crosses the road, passes a beer bottle and cruises around until he finally makes it home to be greeted by my mum at the end of the hallway!

While that film is now lost, there is a short snippet of Toby here (at 0.13) that I filmed in 1989:

"I wanna kissy... " (1989)

Toby did die within a year when we were on a trip to Bali in early 1995.

I must’ve had a premonition about it as he looked to be slowing down and seemed more tired, and that’s why I called the film ‘Toby is Dead.’ But perhaps I was mentally preparing for him dying, due to my memory of Cocoa. He was in the same litter.

In Bali, he was being looked after by my grandparents by the sea and he was sick when we left him.

"Is there something wrong with Toby" [1995]

So it was a bittersweet holiday, that’s for sure, with the regular phone updates from my grandfather.

Prior to us leaving, we thought he would recover. The diagnosis was vague.

Like with Desmond…

[ 2000 ] [ 2001? ]

…I never saw him in his final hours. Perhaps he would have wanted it that way.

However, the local vet kept the corpse and after arriving home from Bali, Toby M (the musician, not the dog) and I dug a grave for him in the front garden behind the fence. The vet came over and put the corpse into the grave and the pair covered him in lime. (see T below)

At that moment, I was waiting near the house because I didn’t want to see the dead body due to my distress. When the vet left, Toby M and I filled the grave. The vet said he probably had stomach cancer and at the time we put it down to him drinking Yarra River water when he went for a swim as he splashed around. He looked to be snapping away at the splashes he made.

And Last Good-bye came out around that time too. But it never made it onto the soundtrack.

Maybe Toby heard the song too.
