Some random photos
I’ve been rather busy lately, photographing all kinds of things. Here’s some random photos that i’ve been posting to Flickr.
Photographing Tool
Shooting Tool perform live is a photographic challenge i was aware of before i had a chance to do it myself last night at the Big Day Out. You only get one song to shoot, rather than the standard 3, and of course no flash is allowed. For the duration of that song Maynard [...]
Spank Rock MIA?
From what i gather Spank Rock, who is due to play tonight in Sydney and tomorrow at the Big Day Out hasn’t actually made it to Australia. While his DJ crew are here and performed at the Gold Coast Big Day Out, it was without Spank Rock himself. It appears that he never [...]
Storm in a teacup
The media and publicity hungry politicians seem to have whipped up a lot of attention surrounding the Big Day Out’s discouraging of people to carry the Australian flag at the Sydney Big Day Out.
Ban Big Day Out, not flag: Robb
Big Day Out slammed for flag slur
The response from the Big Day Out.
At last [...]
bluejuice photos
Taking photos of bluejuice was probably one of the funnest shoots i’ve ever done. I mean, look at that photo above. One of my favourites ever.
And it was all too easy. I turned up at this office space and the guys are there and ready with all sorts of outfits to try on. Or take [...]
2007 – So far so good
Thanks to a Flickr user in Brazil i discovered my Foo Fighters picture was used in Rolling Stone Brazil.
It was quite a fortunate story with those shots. I took them for a local magazine, but i owned the photos. Then Foo Fighters management got in touch asking to purchase them, so of course i said [...]
Kid Confucius photos
Here’s some photos of Sydney funk/soul/hiphop outfit Kid Confucius i took last Sunday.
They’re something a little different to the usual indie rock bands i shoot, but that’s a good thing. They’re a great band, recently winning ‘Best Urban Act’ at the Dance Music Awards.
With 8 people it was quite a challenge arranging people, getting [...]
Homebake 2006 – Part 3
And the third and final installment of Homebake photos. It was Silverchair’s year to headline, playing some of their classics as well as a number of songs off their coming album Young Modern.
Surprisingly The Vines were one of my highlights of the festival. Craig seems to be really enjoying himself onstage these days, not like [...]
Homebake 2006 – Part 2
Round 2 of Homebake photos. That shot above was the crowd during the Hilltop Hoods set. While i was sheltered with the St Johns Ambulance folks they would have been pelted with rain.
Have a look at the gallery for more photos of The Valentinos, The Buttefly Effect, Wolf and Cub, You Am I, Gotye, Die! [...]
Homebake 2006 – Part 1
Here’s the first batch of my Homebake Festival photos.
There’s so many great Australian acts these days you’re spoilt for choice of things to see. Even the torrential downpour later in the day didn’t dampen spirits. But they did stop my photographing for a while.
In this set are shots of Young and Restless who scored [...]
Back from holidays
It’s been a bit quiet on the blogging front since i’ve been away from the internets. I’ve spent the past couple of weeks on holidays in Melbourne, Daylesford (in the Victorian countryside) and at Blueys Beach, on the NSW coast about 5 hours drive north of Sydney.
It’s been bliss spending time with friends, [...]
