Wool Building
A part of the Massey University Palmerston North Campus's Wool Building

SIDENOTE: May slow the posting down so it isn't everyday so sorry to any reader (if any) out there who will be "hmm" about the slow down 

Checks
Don't mind the sneaky product placement it wasn't intentional

Projects as presents
Made my friend this for her christmas present although it still has to be varnished and filled with a picture. Don't you just love late presents.


MEDIA: Acrylic and pencil on a wooden frame

A Sneak Peak
New Year = New Banner

Late on the uptake
Don't you just love the saying "that is so old" well I did, so in this vein of thought I would chuck on my lego bowtie, a denim shirt and show off my newly coiffed hair

Merry (that holiday everyone is raving about)
Get FESTIVE

"It's quite comfortable"
see above. Oh and Merry Christmas for tomorrow, I don't know if anyone does this as well but I assume people do, do you stay up till 12 to open presents and be all festive? Well better go I'm rambling.

ROYGBIV/ BW
Got some really cool 2 dollar glasses which were labelled 3D instead they spilt the spectrum like a prism, as the store clerk informed me after I purchased them. I placed them against my lens and magic happened, THANK YOU POOR LABELLING

Casio fx-9750G PLUS
This graphics calculator pretty much saves live in the NZ equivalent of an IB or GCSEs (A Levels?). Sorry to those who go on here for the non-me related photos, photography coming it was just a bit murky/rainy/not great weather here in little old Northland

WINNER
A photographic experiment with my childhood kaleidoscope that I found in my lego (never mind the childhood nostalgia) I would've preferred if the kaleidoscope was a bit less segmented (if that is the right word. Anyway enough blabber enjoy and have a good day even if it might be raining or snowing you are still alive so make the most of the day

Downpour 
It rained, first time since October. You know you're scraping the bottom of the barrel when all you have to say is about the weather.

Sooty
In homage to the Catorialist who sadly doesn't seem to be posting anymore (a real lost to the faux blog community) and Alley Cats by Hot Chip

MALK
Featuring: Cali-Trim Milk by Meadow Fresh, a piece of what I think is Avocado, a Lemon half and Multigrain bread by Pams

Pointless I know

Fake Plants
When real ones just won't suffice

Demo
I know it's sad but really excited for school to start up again, the space to your left is going to be a new drama room which has been needed since insert extremely long time period here. I probably should've edited this but it is the holidays so enjoy!

Outlander
Been in GOOD isolation for a week reading up on Harry Potter and enjoying my surroundings. Do the same nothing like getting caught up in fantasy and soaking up the rays

WELCOME
Hello to you, and hope you enjoy

SIDENOTE: So I am going to be exhibiting an installation tomorrow and stay tuned for the pictures and details if you're intrested

Old House

These pictures are from one of the first shoots I did for photography this year based on the establishment of emptiness and transcendence they echo the memories that once resided in here

Another Clip
This is based on a quote from Henry Ford (hence H Ford) which I think rings true to today's world
"You can't build a reputation and what you are going to do" so get out there do something and have fun

Music - Crystal Castles Unknown Track

Collage Time
I am back to my old ways and made a little collage for all to enjoy. It was another shot for this post. Also made a new Video will be up in a day or so (or watch it here, I thought a part 2 of it is needed what do you think?).

Royal Portraits 
Their seems to be an every growing disconnect between the Royal Family (UK) and the connotations of High Society and in the ever unforgiving world of Tabloids we have enjoyed their woes. I think this is perfectly summed up in the crochet  portrait of Prince Harry (you all can think of the rest anyway enjoy!)

Artist: Shauna Richardson

Smosh from Micheal Mccabe on Vimeo.

Smosh
A 6 Second "snapshoot" that I finished on Photoshop CS5 extended

Voyeurism is back
I stopped doing self style shots for three posts, not much I know but still I don't know if anybody likes the photography I post. Here ya'll go! A picture from the middle of the year when brightly coloured watches were all the rage. Enjoy

Out with the old
A recent-ish snapshot of the Local Emporium being deconstructed after the construction of its new home. Enjoy.

Continuation
I took this picture around the same time as the lower post. It is of the Fisher and Paykel Auditorium at Auckland University. Side note: There has been no editing what so ever and is not CAD even though it looks like it just very good lighting by chance. ENJOY!

Carparks
OGG Building, University of Auckland

USER DEF 1
Just realised I could change the colour ratio on my camera (Canon 400D) how fun!

Side note: Just realised how vain my blog was... how sad

Boxes
I thought this shoot was a fail so I just put them all together, quite happy with the result

"It's all downhill from here"-Micheal McCabe on NCEA/CIE

For Textiles
If you're wondering "what the hell!" then your probably correct in your exclamation. Just wanted to share a crap-pie collage/montage for my textiles. The beach behind me is 90 Mile Beach in the Far North of New Zealand.

Boxes
Another instalment of my photography board enjoy! Critique encouraged

Jump
Concerned expression some articulated trousers that I made today and a lego tie copied from Hapsical he rocks it better.

Layers
Probably should've stopped sooner but had to chuck in the plate eyes and knife moustache. If your thinking this is a sub-standard copy of another blogger you'd be correct visit the Fake Sartorialist for better digital collages

Lübeck

My friend Ashie took this down at a Model United Nations Competition this year. If you're wondering why I am in a squat position I was Cossack dancing.

41st
Coincidentally it is the forth term and it starts today. Wishing myself sanity and hope that I can get through portfolios and exams without burning out.

Cyan sleeves, orange-ish hair, a Little black dress and a blazer. Great

Home and moving home is the subject for my photography board, but more importantly what does home mean to you?
