Moé Idolatry

Based in Melbourne, Australia, this blog was set up in May 2007. A culmination of my amateur work and opinions relating to things that I love, mostly figures. This is a medium in which I can express my feelings of moé subjects.

Moé? you ask?

Originating in Japan, moé, or rather, è�Œã�ˆ (mo-eh), is the indescribable sensation of affection towards a subject. Perceiving things as è�Œã�ˆ is up to the viewer’s interests and ideals, so one thing may appear è�Œã�ˆ to one person may be a complete turn-off for another.

Idolatry? you ask?

No? Well I’ll tell you anyway, it’s from the Greek word ειδωλολατÏ�ία (eidololatria), simply, it’s the excessive or blind adoration, reverence, devotion, worshipping…you get the idea. However, there’s another meaning to the word Idolatry, which really has nothing to do with this blog.

What can the reader expect?

You can expect my photo shoots of various figures owned by either me or my friends, rantings of myself about various topics of my anime enthusiastic life, and similar items of interest. What you won’t find here though, will be periodic anime episode reviews or the latest anime news, i’ll leave that to the experts.

Photos? With what?

With a snapshot digicam, that’s what. Currently I’m using a Nikon Coolpix P2 for all my photos, my photography skills are amateur, so don’t expect too much. I’m still a full time student of the pre-press nature, help out at an anime store, and also sit at my PC in a perpetual limbo. Oh, and I love cats :3

Abstract Nonsense?

The server is shared. Abstract Nonsense itself is a doujin circle that is currently developing a visual novel game, go check it out!

Why?

You have Riuva to thank for that, their outdoor shots have inspired me to go out and find beautiful settings for the figures, but also making sure it “fits”, no point in taking photos of say, Black Saber in a bed of pink and yellow flowers…just doesn’t do it for me. Danny Choo and super rats also have influenced me when I first started reading such blogs, so cheers to them too~

Contacts?

Well, you can reach me by email at dschiloi@hotmail.com, which is also my MSN contact.
