This is shot in J. Paul Getty's villa near Malibu. His collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities, is housed there. The Getty Villa itself is modelled on a first century Roman villa, the Villa dei Papiri in Herculaneum.
About Me
- Scot Mcphee
- I am a programmer. Mostly I program in Java, but also a bit other languages like C, Objective-C, Ruby, /bin/sh and so on. Nowadays I spend a fair amount of time on REST integration and asynchronous messaging for our company's software products. My technical blog is called "Let X=X" and it's at http://crazymcphee.net/x/I am a trainee Classical Historian: I have a Master of Arts in Ancient History from University of Queensland, and I'm now a PhD student at the same institution. My research topic is Livy and 1st century B.C. Latin historiographical representation of warfare and my other research interests are in & around representations of the city in Latin poetry & prose, Roman conceptions of boundaries, delineations and frontiers, and how the Romans embodied and exerted both physical and symbolic control of that space. I have a blog dedicated to Classics; inlustre monumentum est
I am a musician. My music (Victor Xray / Retarded Mouse / Discount Adult Zone) is mostly made with synthesisers and computers but I also play the bass guitar. I'm an alumnus of "The Gunnery" in Woolloomooloo. People who were there will know what that means. The blog of my music, on which I post most of my music for free when I have the time to create it (less and less nowadays, what with the PhD and all), is called "Xray Dubs" and it's at http://modular.autonomous.org/music/ There is also some stuff on Soundcloud at http://soundcloud.com/victorxray I am a hobbyist photographer. You can see photos I take on Flickr. I also keep a photo blog - My New Life In The Off-world Colonies which documents my life in Brisbane since I moved here from Sydney in 2005.
