So I'm quite obsessed with making stencils and stencilling and I went a-looking for some good web links that told me how to do it (and do it well).

The links might be above the technical prowess of some, but if you know Adobe Photoshop, then it's most easy! Just time consuming to make stencils of a class of 31 kids :/

Aquabumps

This is a photo blog of pictures about the beach (mostly) and more specifically, about Bondi Beach (although there are others). Some amazing photography. Great for analysing depth of field, near-far perspectives, photography and framing your composition. Great!

like sands through the hourglass...

this is the website of a guy called Jonathan Keller from Canada who's been taking one photo of himself every day for the past 9 years or so (since 1998). he's combined this into a little flash-based movie where you can see the progression of his face as he grows older. an amazing project i've always wanted to undertake myself, but haven't had the patience or self-discipline.

Breathing Earth

A cool project that monitors how much pollution each country emits every second along with births/deaths per second. Interesting if not enlightening :)
