Update

Time Has Come
Time is really a strange dimension. The more one grows (older) ... and the less you a. .. and it passes quickly. 6 months already since the last post where I had attempted a comeback on my poor little blog abandons ... 10 months have elapsed since then the latest updates. Yet in my head, I just can not seem to realize he is spending so much time.

But here now is the time of the real comeback is coming ... How do I know? Aha, you'll soon ... because there will be one (or more) shift (s) large enough. But I get carried away ... First things first. Are you ready? "

Why
Why this absence? First, I was quite ill for quite some time 2 years ago. A terrible triple ulcer impossible to control (despite medication) and I really rotten life. It was at that point acidity was overflowing into my lungs and gave me bronchitis has repetition, that was really depressing. But it's happening now.

It took me a while to heal me, but everything is fine now: in fact, sometimes the drugs are not the solution ... the solution is both simpler and more complicated, we must come to question themselves and change their way of life: slow down, try to live under a 100 a time, do more sports and ... change his diet! In my case, completely stopping the coffee (I took several a day) and chilli ... And now everything is better (and without drugs)!

But it is certainly not the only reason. As I said, probably some fatigue ... some syndrome 3 years. I do not know if you noticed, after 3 years, most blogs fizzle out, I notice looking at the list of blogs that I am, and most items are becoming increasingly rare.

Also, the theme of the blog is there for something: Australia. After 3 years, gone are the days of the discovery, installation, first moments in a country and certainly the impression of repetition.

Baby
many changes in 16 months. Ai-Vy, our little girl celebrated her 2 years ago few weeks. What it's growing fast! No longer a baby now, but a little girl walking, running, dancing, talking (in Franglais) ... and makes nonsense! It's been several months (since we returned to France for the holidays) it seems stuck in his "terrible two" ... but I have no doubt that after AC, it will be the "terrible three", then "terrible four" ... etc.


But what she is naughty! I remember a few months ago, I had bought a figurine of Monsters vs. Aliens, Link, the "missing link" ... At first she did not like him at all and fled into the light! So it was hidden in the compartment under the seat of his pickup truck ... From time to time, taking its courage in both hands, she raised the seat and said "dodo, dodo" (meaning that the monster was sleep in the truck) by showing the monster, then fled. And then finally one day, she overcomes her fear and took the monster in his hands and now it was fun to scare us with. I do not know why, more than any other event that I was the brand! :) If it

Aussie
I go there (I had not already made the one?) So
It's been 4 years that Australia is ... two words ... and we LOVE it! France is a distant memory ... a country that we laugh when we watch the news on the Internet. In fact, we do not laugh as ca ... Watch the newspaper is like therapy ... Even if Australia is really the ideal country be expat 'is not necessarily easy every day, the family and we miss you also know the syndrome of "memories embellished over time" ( ie the nostalgia).

So here, from time to time a little bit of France 2 news, nothing better to remind you how it feels good not to be in France: strikes, unhappy and depressed people, re-strikes and social conflicts, re-people unhappy and complain all day long was that all of them, scum, bad weather ... in short, everything the opposite of Australia! Seriously, Australia, I love, I'd almost a flag tattooed ... is limited, I hesitate hesitate! Especially Brisbane actually ... I love this city, it was really the ideal lifestyle: 6 summer months and 6 months of spring, which could be better? Happy people live, who take their responsibilities (rather than saying everything is the fault of others) and are happy with what they have.

Ironically, Australia is a very consumerist: have a big engine is very important, people are distressed, real estate is among the most expensive in the world ... Peking and the average financial literacy huge (a large percentage of people have mastered the subtleties tax, invest in stock, swapping their property regularly ... well there is a genuine culture of speculation) ... but on the other hand, there is also recognition of the simple pleasures ... thee not need much money to enjoy the sun and the sea: a fishing rod, three sausages on the barbecue and some beers.


Visa
Last week we finally received! Yep, our permanent visa! More than a year now before the citizenship! Almost two years have passed since I made the request. There are several reasons ... First of all, thank you to the French administration that put nearly a year to provide us with the necessary papers (birth certificates, passports for Ai-Vy).

Then, once the passport in hand ... well I got my theory on it. As I passed by my box makes for visa (business sponsored permanent visa), I think they purposely dragging out the process. What happens in fact, they take care of visa for me, but there is a clause that specifies that I must stay in the box 2 years after obtaining a visa (in fact, I'm not really bound by obligation but if I leave the box after a year, I pay half the cost of the visa, and after 2 years, I owe nothing ... the cost is approximately $ 10 000 they call a "migration agent" ).

So here, I told him it was the migration agent ... "You're on, we should not take the IELTS (Test of English)? Sur on? Because from what I know, I have friends who have pass ...". "No" she replies, "previous applicants did not have to pass, it's been 3 years since you work in Australia, it should be enough to guarantee that you have a sufficient level of English "and voila ... a few months later, she told me that I must booker for IELTS as the conditions for obtaining visas have tightened. But what matters is that finally we have got this famous visa!

Work
Some news of the job as well. I 've never really talk about what I did ... So I work for SAS, is a box that makes software for business intelligence ... in fact, is more than that and depending on the hearing, one could also speak of "data analysis", "data integration" or if you go over in detail, "Strategic Performance Management solutions," "management solutions for customer relationship", "solutions to financial risk management" ... etc.. My specialty is in any particular part of the technical architecture, but also with a specialization in financial solutions and especially financial crime.

The past twelve months have been absolutely exhausting since I directed a project of "compliance" for a major bank, a very fascinating project, with very stressful and crazy schedules. Forget the Australian no worries or stories of people who work in Australia, feet up, sipping a cocktail ... I regularly bump 80 hours per week, weekends and some days 24 hours non-stop (yes, despite that, I cure my ulcer during this time). But who says effort, said comfort since the project was a success (and the bank was declared a "compliant" before the deadline) and that allowed me to spend AC status Technology Architect. I leave the project in one month ... I count the days! I can finally breathe!

Other news on the job ... I spoke with a colleague, another frenchie, who works as a sales branch in New Zealander for 1 year. And guess where I'm going to make pre-sales? The thing too delirious ... I never imagined going over there for work ... Forget it, you'll never guess! New Caledonia! Too much, I get the whole family and we take the opportunity to take a vacation at the same time ... But wait there's more, I've not said the best yet ... I will also go ... in Tahiti! It is even more incredible, I did not go to Tahiti for the job one day!

GFC
Global Financial Crisis ... just a mosquito bite in Australia, which emerges stronger than ever. Imagine if Australia, which was not in the top 10 before the CFA, has jumped 9 places in the ranking of financial centers Global lie in 2nd position just behind Great Britain, from then to the United States and Japan ... by the way, she came out of France's top 10. The mining industry has when it is stronger than ever, prices have doubled, China has drawn new growth ...



With Stephanie, we were lucky we did not really feel the crisis to pass. In my case, still much work and even more since the projects of "compliance" in times of crisis are not affected and on the contrary, change and tightening of regulation we should be profitable. In recent months, the CFA is almost a distant Remember, the stock market returned 60% (as everywhere in the world) ... ASX revolves around the 4800 points now ... Blessed the one who was able to identify the "bottom" when he was a 3200! If not in everyday life, we feel this optimism is reinforced again and people are spending. Unemployment, against all odds, returned almost at full employment, inflation resumed, the interest rate rises and the cost of real estate soar ... Here we go again like in 40 ... For better or for worse?

A little nest
Bon voila, the moons are trying to align ... favorable economic conditions, growing family, visa ... we can finally buy a small "home". Yes yes, I admit, I was told that buying a house a few months was one of the worst decisions of a financial point of view. Well, I shade a little. It is true that this is a primarily emotional decision: they bought for his own home and do what we want ... tired of renting, have a garden rotten, not to make the changes you want at home ... etc.. Financially, it's true that this is a significant commitment and long term. But with the recovery, unless a relapse or an unforeseen event, everything seems to point to an increase in property prices ... Despite an already irrational.



Imagine, in Brisbane, for $ 500,000 (300,000 Euros) do not expect to have anything other than an old rotten shack ... and is worse in Sydney!
So voila, you're buying ... It's been a while since we sought pending the visa ... We are moving more towards the construction in fact, since last week we made an offer on a property ... And so it is this what I want to tell you in the months to come: everything, everything everything you know everything about building a house (ours) in Oz!

Holidays in France: [part 1] - The airplane trip, a formality ... Developing

The journey from Brisbane to Paris: a formality of 20-25 hours that performs (almost) happy ... except when Travel with a baby-Ai Vy ... decided that in addition to his "Two terrible" in advance (click on the link, you'll see what I mean if you do not have children).

A little advice if you are traveling with baby (s): do it as long as they are small, like less than 12 months (as they eat and sleep a lot) or even before. After this thing is spoiled. At 18 months, for example, Ai-Vy was too big for the bassinet (the kind of small bassinet that attaches to your seat (you will necessarily assign seats front) ... his foot protruding cheerfully that the prevented him from finding a comfortable position to sleep ... Add to this the brightness of the cabin (according to the company and time you will receive or not to periods of darkness) and ambient noise ... her child to sleep can sometimes seem impossible.

So here, after 3-4 hours has poirauter at the airport, you'll be left for more than 20 hours flight (if you're smart, you will have taken care to call to cut the trip in 2 and take a bit of rest), so with a child who can not sleep almost all the way, it will take time ... add to this the famous "terrible two" I mentioned previously ... and you will understand why the Pope kisses the ground its aircraft descent!

And here how you spend the beginning of your holiday once a destination!

you creative artistic vision goes like this

Developing you creative artistic vision ... I could subtitle, back from the dead! I say a little deserted bloguistique the world would be an understatement! That time flies, my last article date 10 months ago!

Why this absence? Loss of motivation? Spend less time ay? The impression of me repeat, Australia being my daily life now? Probably a little of it all at once! But certainly not for lack of things to tell you!

Besides, it also why I struggle to regain ... too much to say and I do not know where / how to begin ... then ... rather than starting from the beginning, I start with a small section off topic ... photography! He
some months I had taken a short course online, the site http://www.betterphoto.com

is a well known American site and the principle is simple: over a duration 4 to 8 weeks, there was a class composed of ten individuals from all walks led by an experienced photographer. It takes the form of an email sent a few pages every week, fees are around a central theme ... Reading the course, we ask all the questions we want is a forum and everything. Then they assigned a goal to take 3 photos around the theme of the week. Then receives comments from the teacher and the opinion of other participants.
The concept is really not bad, the price and ok, lets move AC has its own rhythm and it's nice to have constructive notice of other people often. And objectives are sometimes a real challenge and can take much more time than you might think!

That, so the course I attended was titled "Developing your creative artistic vision" ... a program!

• Course 1: Composition, part one


• Course 2: Composition, part two


• Course 3: Graphic Design


• Course 4: The power of lines


• Course 5: Patterns


• Course 6: Color


• Course 7: Creative Perspectives


• Course 8: Breaking the rules

And voila loose some of my photos and comments from the teacher, which I admit is mostly just "too good to be honest", but does not like compliments! :)

Swing The 60s:
Le prof: I also love the tail lights of the car. Your perspective on this is very strong, and I like very much the supersaturation of the colors. The lighting on this is also awesome. This is another picture that I would have liked to have taken because it is artistic, nostalgic, and graphically intriguing.

Big Willy:
Le prof: The bold graphic design of the Ferris wheel in black-and-white also makes a very bold and commanding picture. I like the high contrast nature of this, and your camera angle increases the artistry of the shot. This really holds my attention, and I appreciate your excellent sense of graphic design. I can see this framed elegantly and hanging in the gallery of modern art.


The Eagle:
Le prof: The photograph of the eagle is another remarkable graphic design. Again, the black background sets off your subject nicely, but there is something else going on here that I really like. You have a little bit of a glow around the center of this artwork as well as the extremities as if you created a double exposure. This has a little mystery and atmosphere. I like the perfection of your composition and the symmetry that you underscored. All of this is superior work that you should be really proud of.

Eureka:
Le prof: Your shot in Melbourne of the Eureka Tower is awesome. This architecture shot alone makes me want to go to Melbourne. The angle that you used, and the way the top of the building disappears in the fog is really cool. The graphic design of this is compelling, and the winds couldn't be more dramatic. This is one of the most exciting pictures of architecture that I've seen, and you should be really proud of it.

Blogger:
Le prof: The photograph of your wife is quite good. It's very graphic, the black background is stark and dramatic, and even her body position looks really good. I also like the red and white shirt that she is wearing because of how it looks against a black background. The lighting on her face is also excellent. I don't think this could be improved. She basically occupies the lower third of the frame, and that's a really good way of dividing the image.


Sick (Socks) together, that Sucks:
Le prof: In the photograph of the baby and the dog, I would have only colored one sock -- the sock on the baby's leg. The defined color on the other one is distracting because it takes our attention away from the subject. You might consider doing this again but having the baby wear both socks and then you can color them and it would work. Also, next time get low and shoot at eye level instead of shooting down on the two subjects. I think you'll like the intimacy of the picture a lot better.

Hoover from Outer Space:
Le prof: I think the 45 degree angle in your shot of the "outer space" subject isn't working as well as it worked in your other pictures. Also, I find this picture a bit busy and confusing. It's difficult to see what this is at first glance. It is certainly intriguing, and it holds my attention because I'm trying to figure out what this is. Nevertheless, while this is a good picture, it is not nearly as strong as your other two images in the submission.

Dream the City:
Le prof: This is an excellent work. I really like "dream the city" because of the composition and your low shooting perspective. The wide-angle lens exaggerated the length of the composition, and the mixture of color and light is also very attractive. I also like the pose of your wife -- it's very much like how a model would position herself.


The Ball and the Casino:
Le prof: Each one of these pictures has a very strong graphic design, and there are other aspects that make them visually compelling images. I love the shot of the "ball and the casino". When I was in Brisbane last time, I'm sorry that I did not know this was there. The graphic design is very bold and dramatic, and so are the colors and the lighting. The black sky looks really good, and as much as I like complete depth of field in many of my pictures, I think that your shallow depth of field here looks really good. The angle of the camera adds to the uniqueness of this image.

Strike:
Le prof: I like the picture in the bowling alley very much because the colors are supersaturated and outrageous. I also like the entire composition, because the bowler was placed along the left vertical third and all of those leading lines are very cool. I also like the saturated colors on the right side of the frame. This is really well done on all levels.

Burnt:
Le prof: Your photograph "burnt" was thinking outside the box, and I really appreciate how creative this is. I did a lot of this kind of work when I was first starting out in photography, but I did it with film. I like the use of negative space and how you composed your model off-center. The abstraction of color superimposed over her face looks really good.


Tram Lights:
Le prof: The photograph of "The Tram" is also a great image. Again, the angled composition is very strong as are the green lights that take our eye into the distance. I agree with you that the lines of light make a very dynamic image, and your night exposures are all right-on. I like the combination of colors that you were able to capture here.
