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

The Rest of Tin City

The rest of the shots that didn't quite make the final cut for my Tin City series.

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

So this is kind of cool....

Tin City photo series

This is the final series for my photography subject at university.

Shot on a Bronica SQA with a 90mm lens and a 24mm lens, and on Fuji Velvia 100 and Kodak E100G.

It was shot in the squatter community of Tin City on Stockton beach near Newcastle. A really wonderful place whose undeniable relationship with a harsh and volatile landscape is explored in the series.

Photos 1 and 3 are my absolute favs. It's the same location as where I shot my final uni film "Porphyria".

Lost holga roll - Cuba

Lost shots from Cuba - jan 2008.
All holga, all x-pro.


Train tracks at Santa Clara, Cuba, the turning point of the Cuban revolution occurred here.

The cute doggy pull flush at a house we stayed in. This was by far my favourite house, it also has the 'infamous cuban curtain wall'

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.
