Homebake 2007 photos
Here’s some photos from Homebake 2007. The day was headlined by the Divinyls on the main stage and Pnau on the Dome stage. Both acts put on fantastic sets, which was a surprising since they’ve both been off the performing circuit for a while. Chrissie Amphlett still has all the moves as a frontwoman and [...]
Legs 11 Concert
Here’s some photos from the Legs 11 concert held a couple of weeks ago in the domain. It’s a lovely civilised affair held in the park in the shadow of the city. Acts on the bill included Missy Higgins, The Waifs, Paul Kelly, Blue King Brown and Nathan from Faker playing an acoustic set. Also [...]
Live Earth Sydney : The Artists
Apart from a couple of acts i thought the lineup of Live Earth was rather underwhelming. Crowded House were an obvious highlight and had the entire stadium in the palm of their hand. It felt a bit like a homecoming as it was in Sydney they played the supposed farewell concert 10 years ago on [...]
Live Earth Sydney : The Crowd
Here’s some photos of Live Earth in Sydney last weekend. This lot is of the crowd. At a show of this size it’s all about the crowd. There’s nothing like singing "Weather With You" with 45000 people.
The Great Escape Festival – Day 3
Day 3 of the Great Escape was when i finally got to go up in the helicopter. It had been postponed for two days because of the weather, but it cleared up enough to do the trip on the final day. It was still pretty miserable weather but loads of fun. One of the highlights [...]
The Great Escape Hay Fight
Deserving of it’s own post from the Great Escape was the hay fight on day 2. Because of the wet, organisers trucked in extra hay bales to soak up the mud. After John Butler finished his set on the main stage the crowd stuck around down the front, hurling hay into the air and at [...]
The Great Escape – Day 2
Day 2 of the Great Escape Festival saw a bit of rain, but it didn’t dampen people’s spirits. On the main stage Little Birdy entertained in the afternoon, Ziggy Marley played the dusk set and John Butler Trio headlined. In one of the food tents this fella played the bazouki to a techno beat which [...]
The Great Escape – Day 1
As i wrote previously, i was the official photographer for The Great Escape Festival two weeks ago. It was so much fun – both the festival itself and the job of taking photos. It’s a three day festival, which makes for lots of photos. First up is pictures from Day 1. The Vines were a [...]
Some Splendour festival photos
I’m back from Byron after a lovely week in the sun and rain. Splendour was as great as expected, so many good acts and good people to spend time with. Despite the mud, which claimed my only pair of shoes, the weather was actually quite good over the weekend, with hardly any rain. I took [...]
Mudvayne, Wolfmother, et al
The metal fans in the audience went nuts when Mudvayne took the stage. Most intense mosh all day. Wolfmother were also in fine form and seem to have become rather massive. Walking around the crowd the band tshirt of choice was definitely theirs. Have a look in the gallery for more photos of Wolfmother, Mudvayne, [...]
Iggy Pop Rocks
My highlight of the Big Day Out? Without a doubt, photographing Iggy Pop.
Homebake 2005 Photos
My photos from Homebake are now online (also available at 3DWorld). It was a wonderful day out, perfect weather, people and music. Plus i spent all day taking photos. Doesn’t get much better than that. The shots aren’t my best work. It was my first time shooting a big festival, with high stages to contend [...]
Homebake with The Finns
Life doesn’t get much better than when you’re standing at the feet of Neil and Tim Finn singing Weather With You to tens of thousands of people. I remember absolutely beaming at strangers around me, getting the biggest heartwarming smiles right back. I’ll post a bunch of photos soon.
Meredith debrief
So here’s the post where i talk about how awesome my time in Melbourne/Meredith was. If you want to skip the boring text and just see pictures have a look at my Melbourne/Meredith photo album. It was ace. I did fun stuff. I met really cool people. I saw good music. I went swimming with [...]
