This week, I have watched two movies. One based off a simple children’s book and the other, a cult Hong Kong comic.
Firstly, let me begin with Spike Jonze’s, Where the Wild Things Are.

Yesterday I took my newly acquired Canon 7D for a spin with Susanto from PaperCranes to shoot Indra and Natalia's Wedding.
The Wedding was held at a medieval church in Camperdown, Sydney that had a grand staircase and lit up beautifully on the inside.
Later in the evening, we showed what we have filmed that day on the screen.
