morality

What makes something right or wrong? Obviously it's our morals, but is there such thing as a subjective morality? aka "my morals" are different to "your morals".

The short answer is no. Something is either right or wrong, there's no such thing as something being right for one person and wrong for another. What people refer to as "my morals, your morals" is actually the extent of how "naughty" they can live with, eg. a girl goes clubbing and makes out with another girl, both girls would probably say they were just having "harmless fun". This is what is wrong with our society these days. Our secular society has convinced us that doing those lewd things is ok and no one gets hurt, that's so far from the truth. What would a secular guy think about those 2 girls? Definitely not "I can bring her home to mum!" No. It's more likely "I want to get in her pants". And thus leads to sex outside of marriage, unwanted pregnancies (which leads to abortion), sexually transmitted diseases, etc etc etc. Does anyone else still think it's cool to do that sort of thing? It is WRONG. Anyone to say otherwise is just trying to make themselves feel good about themselves, and if you want more food for thought, imagine your daughter doing these things.

Morality is absolute!

This reminds me of a story I read somewhere, I'll try to recap it:

There was this painter who was so good that his artworks looked like photos and his artwork was mainly of nude females in provocative poses. A restaurant owner bought some of these paintings for his restaurant thinking that it would add to the atmosphere. The painter soon passed away and was in purgatory.

[Purgatory is a place you go to in order for your sins to be cleansed before you can enter into heaven]

But each time a person looks at his artworks they thought evil and adulterous thoughts. And so they sin. But because the painter created these things, each time someone sins because of his work, more sin is added to his time in purgatory, so much that if it were to continue he would forever be in purgatory. One day the painter visited the restaurant owner in a vision telling him to destroy his work so he would cause no more sin. So the next day the restaurant owner burnt the images so that no one would ever lay eyes on them again.

Porn is not just naked ladies.

argh! too much going on!!!

Hi all,

So since my last blog...
Did the motorbike shoot for my friend Stephen, I posted the pics up on flickr, but I haven't retouched any of them yet.

I shot at Vivid Sydney, which was my first one as well and honestly I was disappointed, but apparently it was crap compared to last year.

I got a job as a real estate photographer:

But lost the job because my gear wasn't up to the company's standards.

Got my old job at Co-op Bookshop back.

Went to the launch of the 'Fullness of Truth' tour, which was highly inspiring AND entertaining!
Shot for the Alex Jones talk at Our Lady of Mt Carmel for the topic 'Catholic Evangelisation: What it IS and what it is NOT"

Working on stuff for Voice of the Youth and also a "secret" WYD project, which I hope will inspire some people to give serious thought about attending WYD11!

Upcoming events:

Voice of the Youth #6 tomorrow with Archbishop Mark Coleridge. I hear great things about him, so I am really looking forward to hearing his talk. Will be shooting it too.

Fullness of Truth - Fr Mitch Pacwa is coming to Bossley Park, I'm not sure if I'm going to shoot it or not, we'll see how I feel haha.

I didn't realise that I missed my friend so much, am meeting up with her on Saturday :) might watch Toy Story 3 as well! Double yay!

Sorry that nothing is all that indepth, I've got a lot of stuff to do and plus I'm kinda lazy hahaha
