I did a photoshoot with The Wahas on Monday, around Surry Hills.
THE PHOTOSET!
& we have the article/interview up on TEETH. Check it out and tell us what you think.

In other news, last night I went to watch Prom Night and it's possibly one of the worst movies ever. I wasted my life watching it, the only thing making it better were the other people in the audience who were really funny. I give it 2/10.

2008-04-20T17:48:00.006+10:00

Die! Die! Die! & Talons at The Oxford Art Factory.

Then we wandered off to a Chapel Street party.

& then to the Basser College at UNSW where we wrote random/strange/funny/creepy love notes to people and slid it under their doors in the early hours of the morning.

So we stopped by the Surry Hills Festival after photocopying and putting together TEETH's first zine (at Oxford Street's Kinko's whcih is the best place to photocopy/make zines in my opinion.. we're planning to have 3 am zine making sessions in there.)

SATURDAY (SURRY HILLS FEST.)

Sunday:
We ventured down to Wollongong for the zine fair!
Fun times.

Both photos shot by The Fetus.

WOLLONGONG ZINE FAIR

2008-04-12T10:22:00.003+10:00

Yves Klein Blue EP Launch at Spectrum (Darlinghurst) with Flying Foxes as support.
Amazing music. So many people.
:)

Flying Foxes

Yves Klein Blue

I took quite a lot of photos, despite the fact that Spectrum has the infamous bad lighting.
& I was using my 50mm most of the time and since it was packed and it's a small venue, the shots came out quite interesting.
Black and white saves the day.

Then we hung out on Oxford Street where I took photos of people we knew/didn't know coz we didn't want to go in any place in particular.

2008-04-11T19:10:00.004+10:00

Tennis and Lions At Your Door at SwiftLove (a new night which happens in Candy's Apartment at King's Cross). PHOTOS!

The lighting was reaaaaaly crap but the music was nice and loud. And the bands were cool :)

So we ventured to Pet Cem afterwards and around 2 ish, they started playing this really loud deafening trance music (no joke, I thought my eardrums were gonna burst) and started turning on and off really bright lights... what's the deal?

In other news, TEETH. (we'll get a real domain name soon!)

2008-04-08T10:07:00.004+10:00

The Stray Assembly at their first gig at the Hopetoun Hotel (Surry Hills).

MORE PHOTOS!
Wow, I haven't been to the Hopetoun since the first time I ever taken band photos back in October '07 (downstairs is pretty awesome in a trashy sort of way.)

Pinball!

& A new portrait... The Fetus!

2008-04-07T07:03:00.004+10:00

Last night/late afternoon was a fundraiser show at the Annandale Hotel with a bunch of bands. I got to see Bridezilla and The Scare. It was the first time seeing Bridezilla for me and really listening to their music. I really like them. Quite magical.

The Scare were amazing as usual. This is one band you have to see live at least once in your life. They are insane.

It was my second time at the Annandale (last time was seeing the Horrors) and I didn't realise the lighting was pretty good. I took a lot of photos... click click click.

I don't usually focus on the lead singer more than the rest of the band but in this case I did just because they were in such a good light.
:)

2008-04-05T04:42:00.003+11:00

I went to Semi Permanent for the first time. Pretty awesome. Shitloads of people, I was quite surprised. It was interesting to hear how the speakers got into what they do, how their company works, their processes, etc etc.
I thought it was rude when people would walk out like 10 minutes before each speaker ends, just to skip the large mass of people. I'm just saying it's rude.
After I checked out the Kids Today exhibition at the MTV Galleries on Yurong Street. So so many people, we couldn't get in. I was supposed to take some Wahas photos for TEETH but we didn't get in so what can you do. We went back like 40 minutes later..
I liked most of the art there.

Hung out outside taking portraits of most of The Wahas.

PHOTOS!

2008-04-03T11:57:00.003+11:00

I got to see Ghostwood, The Rakes & The Jesus And Mary Chain at the Enmore Theatre last night (it was a last minute decision). I was there to take some shots of Ghostwood for Scorpio Music..
I'm not used to the 3 songs only rule so I kind of freaked out. And the bad red lighting wasn't helping.. (thank god for RAW).
The bands were really awesome. Great music.
The Rakes' lead singer claps and bows after each song. haha :)

Unfortunately, I have fallen down my stairs again.

2008-04-02T13:25:00.005+11:00

I have a new journal-type book. It's covered in silver duct tape and it has pretty much taken over my life.

Here's a few pages from it..

I'm going to cover my door in foil.

P.S A new zine is in the making!

2008-03-31T20:35:00.003+11:00

I might be helping out Yen Magazine's Curvy book launch/art exhibition.

Check it out the launch party this Thursday (April 3rd 8pm-11pm) at the Mori Gallery (168 Day Street in Sydney... near Bathurst Street/China Town/Darling Harbour area/Town Hall station).

I was checking out the artworks today.. they're great.

Portrait (Homra)

2008-03-29T14:10:00.002+11:00

Just a friday night taking portraits..

OTHER PHOTOS

2008-03-28T05:27:00.003+11:00

Pet Cemetary at the Oxford Art Factory is pretty cool.

There was a performance by Kirin (and a few others from Mercy Arms).
I took very few photos. haha

The new art on the walls is very awesome. It's by this guy called Andy Uprock.

So I still have the problem of having the photos all awesome on my computer/Lightroom then uploading them into flickr and it gets dull. Help?

In other news, I need to get my act together and make a portfolio so I can do something with my life, besides hanging out all day (everyday) and occasionally busting out the camera....

2008-03-25T23:34:00.002+11:00

wowowowowow!

The Fiona Hall exhibition at the MCA is amazing!
& Art Express 2008 at the Art Gallery of NSW is quite impressive. My favourite is the artwork by Neil Pearson. Very talented.

So we had the TEETH art party yesterday. It was cool. I didn't take many photos but everyone else used my camera coz my hands were filthy (& covered in glitter!)
Photos are on myspace. I didn't realise myspace kills the quality of photos when you upload them..

Future is Now

2008-03-21T16:49:00.003+11:00

The Gaelic (Surry Hills) is pretty much my new favourite venue to shoot at. The lighting is brilliant. The smoke is great. What more can you ask for when shooting live music? :)

So last night I went to Future is Now which had a bunch of cool bands playing to an all ages crowd. I got to see The Jezabels, The Wahas, Tic Toc Tokyo and Young & Restless. Check out these bands, they're pretty awesome.

MORE PHOTOS!

Since the lighting and everything was so good, I ended up taking heaps of photos (a lot of the same sort of thing with different lights/smoke pattern... I couldn't resist). I really liked how the photos turned out.

2008-03-19T22:17:00.005+11:00

WOWZERZ!

TEETH are hosting an awesome art party on the 24th of March (that's easter Monday, kids).
We'll be making stuff mostly for the next zine fair!
Bring your art/craft supplies and all things great.
For more info click here

P.S if the weather is bad, it'll be postponed coz it's an outdoor party..

Brisbane, QLD

2008-03-17T00:03:00.004+11:00

So Brisbane was better than I expected. I had a good time exploring places and whatnot.

The Andy Warhol exhibition was excellent. I was so amazed and overwhelmed and excited about everything there.

I'm not too fond of Brisbane nightlife though. Especially Family (the club in the Valley). What is with that place? Its dodgy theme park interiors and music were just ugh. I was expecting it to be a cool place to go after the recommendations from the locals but yeah...

Queen Street is kind of neat. It's like a big Pitt Street Mall with outdoor restaurants/cafes in the middle.
The amount of kids hanging outside the Hungry Jacks on Saturday was a bit odd. It was as if HJ was the place to be or something.

Southbank area is pretty awesome. I stumbled across Streets Beach. The free outdoor fake beach. It looks really cool at night with the changing underwater lights.

P.S Jetstar is pretty crap and Brisbane airport's lack of everything is disappointing.

SOME PHOTOS.

And Ben Lee is so little, we passed each other at Sydney International Airport.

Oh yeah, I fell down my stairs before even going to the airport on Friday morning and I'm really bruised. It was really funny at the time but then I was in a lot of pain.

2008-03-13T12:10:00.002+11:00

This is me in October 07. I had my camera for about 2 weeks and didn't know how to use it properly and I refused to use any of the auto modes.
I'm still learning.

Here's a flashback.
(photosets of my first month with my camera)
Moon festival
Portraits & junk in black&white
First time in Newcastle for This Is Not Art
and of course..
First band photos

Well I'm going to Brisbane tomorrow to check out the Andy Warhol exhibition.
See ya on Sunday arvo.
:)

2008-03-09T12:26:00.004+11:00

I was having a really really bad day/night but it got much better when I went by to the St James Hotel for PA's birthday. Not where I usually would hang but it was fun. :)

Good times. Big smiles.
PHOTOS

So I've got this problem.. I see the photos one way (I use Adobe Lightroom) and when I upload them the colour gets dull/greyer/murky. What's the deal?

06/03/08 - Beachball

2008-03-08T03:22:00.002+11:00

@ Manning Bar, Sydney University.

The bands that I saw (Dardanelles, bluejuice & Damn Arms) were awesome though I only took photos of Dardanelles..

MORE.

I didn't enjoy the night.. it was weird.

5/3/08 - Beirut

2008-03-07T09:46:00.004+11:00

A few weeks ago I missed out on Beirut tickets as I didn't even know about it and was really sad about it. Thanks to fasterlouder/Handsome touring, I got to go to the gig the other day which happened at Manning Bar, University of Sydney. Hooray.
It was exciting because I got my first photo pass and it was my first time photographing for FL.
I was the only one photographing at the barrier and maybe that's why they let me stay there for about 6 songs, instead of the standard 3 songs..

Trumpets, ukeleles, accordions.....It was such an amazing show and I'm quite happy with how the photos turned out.
:)

2008-03-02T20:58:00.004+11:00

The Opera House looks strange when you look at it up close.

This guy is from the future.

2008-03-01T22:33:00.003+11:00

Despite being born and raised in Sydney, I think this is the first time I've ever taken a picture of the Opera House.

So we were going to check out Slaughter at the Opera but looking at the humungo amount of people there and lining up to get in, we didn't.
Instead, we went all around the city and I took a few photos of street performers. The guy who does the art is amazing!

Tonight is the Mardi Gras. I am not there as I need to get up early tomorrow for another adventure.
:D

2008-02-27T23:36:00.004+11:00

Okay so the stye (actually called a hordeolum) is gone (I got to wear an eyepatch even though the infection wasn't visible as it was on the inside of my eyelid, not on top) and I've finally chucked some photos on my flickr.
Photos are just of some things I found on my adventure in my parentals' backyard the other day.

A few more photos floating around my flickr..

I'm trying out the Adobe Lightroom program (thanks to a friend who recommended it) and it's a brilliant program. I would buy it.

Also, Via Alley is a neat little store full of awesomeness (& cool holgas). And their business card is pretty. I am definitely going by there soon to buy camera.
:)

2008-02-23T22:18:00.003+11:00

..and now I have a stye. WTF. ( stye = a lump on the inside of the eyelid. horror)

At least I'm having good sleep.. (thanks to valerian)

New TEETH project in the works.

2008-02-22T19:15:00.002+11:00

Pepsi Max, pistachios, Amazing Medical Stories, valerian and hiding behind curtains.

2008-02-20T16:27:00.002+11:00

I have a horrible insect bite on my leg and chronic insomnia.
What a great combination... (not)

2008-02-17T13:07:00.005+11:00

The FolloW at TRASH (Agincourt Hotel, George St)

Amazing amazing amazing.
Azaria had the mic cord wrapped around his neck and when they finished their set, he was on the ground not moving for a minute or so. The rest of the band knew something was wrong and rushed over to help him. It was scary. I hope he is okay.
The FolloW photos

Afterwards we were hanging in Livo. In black and white.

I'm rewiring my sleeping pattern coz I've got to be up early for the next week.

2008-02-16T14:26:00.002+11:00

sosueme @ Q bar last night
Such a contrast from Thursday night's crowd.
There were like 20 people in the ENTIRE VENUE for a while. There were more people later.
We saw the end of The Vignettes' set (very good by the way, even though there were like 5 other people in the room) and The Spirits (formerly known as Chequered Leopards.)
No photos as the lights were really horrible. (& I don't do the whole using flash on bands)
But there are party photos for inthemix (probably up in a day or two) which were taken by Ivana Stab & I.

Strange night.

2008-02-15T11:24:00.003+11:00

Bluejuice & Dappled Cities at the Oxford Art Factory!
OAF was so so packed when I got in, it was insane.
I got some shots even through all the jumping and craziness and people in front of me.
Fun bands, great music.

PHOTOS
:D

Oh yeah, the Spirit of Jazz was there. No joke.

2008-02-13T23:57:00.000+11:00

Did a photoshoot for Marie Stone's fashion designs in Mosman.

Model: Barbara Michalska (& Marie appears in one photo)
Had hundreds and hundreds of photos but these are my favourites..

It was so fun.

2008-02-12T15:12:00.000+11:00

Paint dripping off the large paper, down my Marv mural on the wall and onto my bedroom floor.

I've been painting today and it has been fun, however, the paintings will be disposed of and will not be mentioned ever again.

SATURDAY NIGHT ADVENTURES

featuring:

Alien Love Twilight Markets at the Penrith Regional Gallery (Emu Plains. There are no emus, big disappointment). The aliens scared me a little. And the paintings were trippy.

then..
to the Agincourt hotel (Broadway) for Trash.
THE SCISSOR FILE (Melbourne) & KIAI ACADEMY (Sydney)
Really energetic bands, very awesome.

then..
to the Oxford Art Factory (Darlinghurst)

I had a really fun night.

2008-02-09T05:43:00.000+11:00

Friday night:
Rain, Pancakes, lying down in the backseat coz of the 11pm red P plater curfew, Lisa's cool geometric sweater, rain, writing on foggy car windows, rain, watching some late night gameshow until 4am saying how the show is fucked (what kind of name is Ita?!) and the girl host has weird eyebrows and teefz.

2008-02-07T11:21:00.001+11:00

Ghostwood with Sacred Stereos & Bird Automatic at Spectrum.
No photos of Sacred Stereos but they played cool music.

Bird Automatic
I really enjoyed their set. :)

Ghostwood were great the first few times I've seen them (last year) but yesterday was amazing and very impressive. See them at Spectrum every Wednesday this month.

MORE PHOTOS!
My photos.................... ugh.
I really don't like the lighting at Spectrum. Don't they know purple/red lights are shit in photos?!
:P
And because my lens is quite crap, some of my photos are grainy/blurry. haha
& I get wayyy too carried away with the whole 'the darkest parts in photos must be the black' that's why my shots look they've been shot with a film camera.

P.S Patrick Wolf is magic.

2008-02-04T00:42:00.001+11:00

Joanna's blazer.So as a Rotary exchange student, you get to wear one of these blazers covered in pins, patches and badges from other exchange students that you meet.
Yezzurrr.

I finished my course a few days ago..

2008-02-03T10:30:00.000+11:00

I went to Hope Street Markets yesterday.

And went through the park across Central Station where they were having some Chinese New Year thing.

I'm not a creep, I just thought it'll be a cool theme. haha

2008-02-01T21:17:00.000+11:00

I draw on my left arm a lot. The background is my bedroom door (which is fluro pink and kind of horrible. haha). Shooting your own arm is quite difficult.

Someone has illegal fireworks and they're pretty much going off in my backyard.

2008-01-31T23:01:00.001+11:00

Being on the train during a freak storm is intense. Calm then thunder then lightning then insane rain then calm again.
On my way to school, I saw a giant woman made of peaches. The peaches were fake, I saw a few on the ground with bite marks in them.

Check out the MCA if you haven't already.
Tim Hawkinson is brilliant. $10 or $7 for concession. You have to see his exhibition!
And of course Shahza Sikander's work is amazing. I've seen it a few times.
& I surprisingly enjoyed Callum Innes' work.

ALSO!
If you're in Sydney and want to be a Shaman (and talk to animals) like Naboo, go to the Earth Institute.

House party last night at Tuyet's.

I somehow thought it was a good idea to upload photos mainly including hands, legs, bodies and stuff instead of faces.
The rest of the photos are in facebook.

Joanna got back from a year in France (& other parts of Europe) and brought this alcohol (like fruity vodka) that her host family made. It's awesome. haha

THE WAHAS & YVES KLEIN BLUE PHOTOS

2008-01-25T04:32:00.000+11:00

My first gig photos for this year. I'm a little rusty.

First time at 77 also.. I like the venue, the lighting is a bit sucky. Red/purple lighting is the worse. I refuse to use a speedlight to take photos of bands while they are performing though.

Still Ill launch featuring

The Wahas & Yves Klein Blue at Club 77 (Kings X).

More photos will be uploaded later on..

We checked out Pet Cemetary afterwardzzzzzzzzz.

I am testing out watermarks for my photos. Sujin had created some cool logos for me but I think I will go with just a simple one with my website url.

I feel more tired than usual. I can't sleep though and the next few nights will be fun but exhausting.

New lens soon!

2008-01-23T21:15:00.001+11:00

Salt water creatures are cool. I really want a seahorse.
I have a new little sketch book I bring everywhere.

When I watch movies, I tend to watch it for the cinematography more than anything else (storyline, script & soundtrack are also important of course).
I make some of my photos look like film stills but I'm unaware of this until people tell me.

I'm taking photos again. Hooray!
(a few more random photos are on my flickr..)

AND HOLY SHIT!
THE BEDLAM IN GOLIATH (THE MARS VOLTA) IS BRILLIANT!!!

2008-01-16T17:57:00.000+11:00

I've been awake for 33 hours so far.
I feel a bit strange but awake.
We bought coffees and got free donuts and went on a road trip in the early hours of the morning, way before the sun was up.
Fog. Trucks. Sunrise (sort of). Naps (not me). Mozzies. Exploring. Mountains. Petrol stations.
Eventually, we came back and hung out and watched b-grade horror movies. It was fun. I love adventures.

(no photos though)

2008-01-15T01:41:00.001+11:00

Random night time drive out west again. It was pretty funny.

In other news:
-Back to school. My course is almost done. Exciting!
- My internet has been a bit stuffed.
- Mozzies are killerrrr.
- I might be doing the whole "must take at least one photo per day thing" again.

2008-01-10T01:05:00.000+11:00

I LOVE KINGS OF LEON!!!
They are absolutely amazing.

I wish I had a photo pass or smuggled Noir (my camera) in coz Nathan blowing smoke up in the air with the awesome lighting would've made a brilliant photo.

Sweaty.

2008-01-07T17:41:00.001+11:00

Hot Monday afternoons = hanging in your room with the air con on and painting brains with gouche, then taking a photo of it and chucking it on flickr.

2008-01-07T13:37:00.000+11:00

Go to Lonestar (Parramatta) and laugh at all the spelling mistakes they have around the place. It's ridiculous.

2008-01-05T02:28:00.000+11:00

I feel ill.

Energy drinks = death.

If you have a myspace, add TEETH. It is an online magazine collaboration between Ivana Stab & I. It is a work in progress and we recruit Superstars to be in it. Our first Superstar band is The Stray Assembly.

2008-01-04T01:25:00.000+11:00

I'M BACKKKK!

Okay, here's a little update with days missing as I don't remember..

On Christmas Day I went up to my parentals' aquaculture farm, hung out, took photos, went to the beach, etc.

PHOTOS

On Friday I went to see The Scare and Die! Die! Die!

The Scare put on an insane show again (but I thought they were more .. I dunno... energetic? last time I saw them)

and Die! Die! Die! were great also :)

MORE PHOTOS

Saturday arvo I went to take some photos of The Stray Assembly who were recording their first demos. They are awesome :D

MORE PHOTOS

Some photos turned out grainy and blurry and were better in black and white.

On New Years Eve I was catching up with people and then went to the city.

The fireworks were brilliant.

MORE PHOTOS

On New Years Day I was hanging out by a river, drawing. The weather was good and everything was great.

I've been reading Chuck Palahniuk books for the past two days.

I hope you had an amazing week.

2007-12-26T15:10:00.000+11:00

I have no phone line which means I have no internet.

Quite sad, I know.

(msg/call/prank is the best way to contact me)

I'll upload new photos after New Years (unless I magically get reconnected before then.)

Happy Holidays, have fun and take care!

Oh yes, my diffuser arrived!

2007-12-24T11:27:00.000+11:00

I went to Diane's 19th birthday party yesterday.

Cake fight, light experiments & Julian was in a box.

Gameboy/Gamegirl & Cassette Kids

2007-12-22T08:21:00.000+11:00

Gameboy/Gamegirl & Cassette Kids at the Oxford Art Factory. Took photos for inthemix.
I was just experimenting and changed the setting for a lot of the photos. Also tried some colour band shots...... interesting. I still prefer black and white.
MORE PHOTOS
(Someone chucked an alcohol soaked brown paper bag on my camera which was not cool. I hope it wasn't deliberate.)

Party shots were pretty horrible though. haha. My diffuser has not arrived yet after a month [it's probably lost in the post] and I need it. Some shots were a lot blurry and had baddddd lighting and editing did not work [thus some are b&w].
PARTY PHOTOS

I've decided I will use my 50mm instead until I get a 17-50mm...

I can't sleep.

2007-12-21T00:38:00.001+11:00

I love snow globes. I really do.

2007-12-18T02:43:00.000+11:00

We were hanging out at Barbara's new place.
The view is awesome.

I started doing some portrait photography. That was fun.

But then I think I got bit carried away with contrast and brightness.

(crazy dancing, broken Nigel, alcohol, food, portraits, view of the city from Barbara's window)

I don't usually listen to folk-y music but I'm really digging Beirut.

Here are some drawings out of my sketchbook.
It's pretty much all I've been drawing lately.

2007-12-14T20:54:00.000+11:00

Last night we went to the fasterlouder thing at the Factory Theatre.
Only stayed for Goons of Doom coz it got a bit weird.
You would know what I mean if you were there.

MORE PHOTOS.

Then we went to Hot Damn [Spectrum] and saw some of Kiai Academy's set. They were pretty awesome and energetic and made me feel better. :)

I feel strange.

"Feel my wrath, the field of strath."

2007-12-13T05:34:00.001+11:00

We went to Spectrum and The Devoted Few & Whitley were playing [we missed the first person/band]. My shots were pretty disappointing. I didn't like the lights.
The bands were good though :)

Then comes the party photos, mostly taken by Ivana Stab.

PARTY PHOTOS

I've got to learn more about my camera coz the colour shots still suck.
Picnik is pretty cool if you don't have PS. I've been testing it out.

I'm going to sleep now.

The Scare is one energetic, fun, entertaining, insane, amazing band.
Mercy Arms were awesome as usual.
:D

I didn't take many party people photos.

A random story:
We've been making paper planes and flying them out the window [at school which is a few levels up]. One plane hit this man [who was just walking past the car park, minding his own business] right in the stomach and he looked really confused/shocked/wtf.
It was hilarious. This happened on Thursday.

2007-12-06T23:08:00.000+11:00

I drew on my arm in school with a pen.
People were asking if it was a real tattoo.
It obviously wasn't coz the ink was fading away.

2007-12-04T20:05:00.000+11:00

9/11 was an inside job.

2007-12-02T04:57:00.000+11:00

No photos but I had an awesomely fun night.
I love people

Are you out?

2007-12-01T02:20:00.000+11:00

My arm has been in pain since the afternoon.
I really had to draw this though. The inside took just under an hour and the frame bit took forever! [about 2 hours, haha].

Approximately 1.2m by 1m [I need to invest in measuring tape/a ruler].

My marker ran out halfway which was a bit sad. [zoom in and you can tell the difference with the markers.]

I own a fun amount of paper.

Wednesday night

2007-11-29T05:09:00.000+11:00

I'm not too sure how to use my speedlight properly but I tried.. haha.

First time with my DIY bounce flash card (I am waiting for my diffuser to arrive) and first time taking "party" photos.

We couldn't get into the Oxford Art Factory for the Oyster Party coz it was packed so we went upstairs to the Q bar and The Cassette Kids were playing.

Later we went into the Oxford and partied. haha

Some out of focus, shitty lighting, etc.
:P

2007-11-28T02:21:00.000+11:00

This is a result of paranoia and not being able to sleep because of the constant beeping that probably doesn't exist outside of my brain..

It's about 1m by 1.3m. Maybe a bit bigger.
(& looks slightly better in real life)
haha

2007-11-24T19:31:00.000+11:00

Exciting! haha

If everyone turned into a cartoon character, this would be me.

My camera had the wrong settings on half the time and I didn't realise until later.
& I didn't bring my speedlight (which means not much art photos coz of the bad lighting and unfortunately resorting to built in flash for shots of people).
& I have trouble with colour photography.
Fun night though! :)

Cut Copy supported by Damn Arms

2007-11-16T11:03:00.000+11:00

Cut Copy with Damn Arms supporting at The Metro Theatre. It was a really fun show :D

When I entered the Metro, the security told me I wasn't allowed to use my "type" of camera so it had stay in my bag.. Lame.

So I took photos when the security guys weren't looking.
:P

Damn Arms

Cut Copy

I used my 50mm which is a fixed lens and I couldn't move around so a lot of photos are of the band member closest to me.

I've been awake for about 24 hours, after being extremely sleep deprived earlier.
I can't sleep now, I'm going a bit insane.

KLAXONS NOT CENTAURS

2007-10-26T01:31:00.000+10:00

Klaxons = amazing & fun.
I was at MTV's The Lair [@ the Metro] beforehand.
The Mint Chicks are insane!!!
If we were allowed to take photos, James [Klaxons] would've been in this photo.

Now, to the Enmore! [Newtown]
We had front row seat tickets coz the mosh tickets were all gone so the photos aren't very good. The lighting was impressive.

MORE PHOTOS

There were these cool kids from Blue Mountains area [a.k.a the Mountain kids] who followed us to the Enmore. They kept saying "Your name's not down/Dan, you're not coming in". hahahaha.
