Decoder Ring and Bridezilla

At the metro theatre, fri 28th August 2009.
Photos taken for Groupie Magazine and Olympus.

I'm not very good at gig photography...

because I don't really care for those typical rock show shots...


Kirin Callinan is really fun to watch, he's a tad eccentric, like a young bowie (but still not even close...)






I thought this was a really tender moment of boy love in the crowd

sound around town

Here's some shots I took at a recent event at UTS - Refraction. Organised by Emily McDaniel, it brought together current UTS students to perform with established sound artists. There were some lush sounds from the likes of Morning Stalker, Cleptoclectics, The Ethernet Ensemble Orchestra and Genevieve Little. (Check them out on their respective myspaces).
You can also check out a few more pics at my flickr

Lost Holga rolls of Mexico pt 2

Mexico city fountain and sculpture


Mexico city architecture

These last three are all from Isla de las Muñecas (Island of the Dolls). A man that lived on an island fished all of these out of the surrounding canals and hung them around his island to ward off the spirit of a young girl who had drowned nearby. It's one of the strangest and spookiest places out there, and an absolute thrill to see.

Housemates, meat towns, waterslides - everything you want on an overlapping never before seen roll of film.

cara and carrizal (crazy waterslides and hot springs)

finding old rolls and getting them developed is a little bit fun.

Cuba

I've used all of my monthly allowance on flickr, so you're getting treated to some photos from Cuba.
(from jan of this year)


La Habana city view


the ubiquitous image of "el Che"


Dead Dog Corner
someone finally burnt the carcass which stopped the stench, but you could still see the teeth


abandoned pizza stand and cuban propaganda - NO to the war, NO to the block, NO to terrorism. (they consider George Bush a terrorist... which... well... i'm not inclined to totally disagree with)


One of my fav photos - the infamous Cuban Curtain Wall.
In every house we stayed in, there was an entire wall covered by a curtain, not hiding anything, just as decoration. This room was our favourite by far, way too many kitsch knick knacks for us to drool over.
