Photography By Enig Hui
Enig Hui describes himself as “street, train, rail track, Iceland, nordic, Borneo, Malaysian” and I’d describe him as a well-travelled photographer with an eye for the sort of photos I like. In fact he takes photos in a variety of styles and you can check them all out on Enig’s website but the ones that I’d like to highlight are those that feature lines, symmetry, and perspective, things that I find particularly stylish in photography. Great photos that draw the eye in, through, and around them. If you prefer landscape or urban photos then Enig’s got you covered there...
Portsmouth, Alien Invasion – Commander Pompey
It wasn’t just through grit, determination, and a steady flow of munitions and inventive weaponry that the people of Portsmouth fought back the alien invasion by The Squirmy Munge in the years following World War I; literature would also play a huge part. However, unlike the writers during the great war who had favoured poetry and depressing the hell out of anyone unlucky enough to come across a passage, in Portsmouth it was to comic books that authors turned and the tales they featured were far more uplifting. Many comic strips and characters blossomed in this period in history and one of the most popular of them all was Commander Pompey. Always accompanied by his scientist sidekick Southsea Belle the commander engaged in both defending the city from The Squirmy Munge and taking the fight directly to the enemy in any of its hideouts on the moon, under the sea, or in the hills. Of course, he wouldn’t be a true Portsmouth hero if there wasn’t a little dig at the city’s neighbours down the coast every now and then...
Soccer Is Running America Into The Ground
“Soccer is running America into the ground, and there is very little anyone can do about it.” So starts an email to blogger Avicenna who then proceeds to pick apart the preposterous points raised by “an overworked teacher” in the post I Get Mail – How Soccer is Ruining ‘Merica. The arguments made by the teacher are the typical fare you’d expect from someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about but they’re worth reading nonetheless especially if you happen to like football and like despairing of humans. I know I do. Of particular interest to me was this quote from the teacher (just after expressing his sexist attitude labelling football as “a game for girls”: My daughter is on a traveling team, and she is quite good. I had to sign a form that said, among other things, I would not do anything embarrassing to her or the team during the game. I told the coach I could not sign it. She was perplexed and worried. “Why not,” she asked? “Are you one of those parents who yells at their kids?” “Not at all,” I replied, “I read books on the sidelines during the game, and this embarrasses my daughter to no end.” That is my one way of protesting the rise of this pitiful sport. Screw the fact your daughter may enjoy the sport you can’t comprehend. The most important thing is to embarrass her away from the game. A petty, domineering, sexist teacher who thinks soccer is ruining...
