From the top of the Main Mast of the Endeavour
Replica, sailing away from Endeavour Reef near Cooktown, far
North Queensland on Saturday July 8, 1995. The original HMS Endeavour
struck this reef around 11, on the night of June 11, 1770. |

Welcome
to a new updated edition of the Malolo Lailai to Brooklyn and
Beyond web site. This site was produced for a print publishing
subject undertaken at the University of Wollongong,
for the Communication & Cultural Studies (CCS) program during
the Autumn session of 1998. The end result was a self published,
forty one page A4 hardcover book comprising of a non fiction
pictorial of my sailing experiences during the 1990's. This particular
site was produced with the content from that print project for
an electronic publishing subject in the following session. |

Factors
of page layout and the Macintosh platform were relatively new
and a lack of experience in these areas added to the challenge
of meeting the deadline. Having never used PageMaker only added
further pressure and binding by hand was only commenced ten minutes
before the book was handed in for marking. Somehow it all come
together and the end result was quite pleasing. |

As
for the photographic content, I have worked as professional photographer
for at least ten years. Successfully avoiding weddings, babies
and real estate and considering the content of the pages that
follow, not all my shots are of tall ships. Another large portion
of my work comes from riding motorbcycles around Australia. This
provided an enormous opportunity to assemble quite a large volume
of stock, covering a vast array of subject material. Then eventually
with the aid of sail, travel extended to far beyond the Australian
shore. Material gathered from all these journeys make up the
subject matter of a private collection of photographic stock
of roughly around the 220,000 mark. |

Sailing
first appeared on the scene in 1986 with an opportunity to crew
on a yacht in the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. Tall ship experience
arrived in1990 with the voyage to Malolo Lailai from Norfolk
Island on the replica of the Bounty. |

The
original CCS site included the entire text of two short stories
and a short editorial about a ship called 'The Eye
of the Wind'. As reading huge
blocks of text on a computer screen is not really practical for
most, these articles have been replaced with abstract versions.
If anyone interested in receiving a printed grayscale version
of these articles, please let me know as I'm currently exploring
options. One may result in a package on a CD containing PDF's
of the entire print version in colour. |

As
photography is a major component of this site and in order to
keep the overall size of the HTML files down to a functional
level, I have deliberately stuck with text and the HTML limitations
for headings, rather than designing something that looks great
in a graphic format. And as with any photographer, writer or
artist, copyright is a major concern for any work that is displayed
on the net. To help ease this concern, every photograph contains
a digital watermark, attached with a Digmarc filter, a component
of Adobe Photoshop and ImageReady. This filter adds copyright
and authorship information which can be accessed by any interested
third party. A creator ID provided to the author of the work
on registration with the Digmarc Corporation,
is embedded in each image. The ID is linked to a database containing
authorship information which also contains contact details such
as the authors address, email or phone number. |
|
|
|
The
most important point I would like to make about copyright however
is that when someone steals an image or piece of work from someone
else, it is not just that the income of the composing artist
may be affected. The spiritual component that comes from the
very heart of the artist that ultimately provides the drive,
motivation, and so on to produce the work in the first place,
is also heavily taxed. |

As
with the print publication, this web site contains two short
articles. Malolo
Lailai Bound which
is now broken up into two parts to reduce download time and Brooklyn
Arrival.
As for the future of the Malolo Lailai to Brooklyn and Beyond,
there are at least another three to four short stories to write
before each will become individual chapters of a complete book.
To temporally link these two articles, a short editorial titled The
Eye of the Wind which
was included in the print version, is also included. |
