Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre, 26.02.2014: On Film
In retrospect, taking a roll of film during one of my three song allocation for Bruce Springsteen wasn’t the best use of my time. Given this was a sound desk shoot, or at least the equivalent as we were right out at the side of the floor space, positioned on the steps up to the next […]
Laneway 2014 @ RNA Showgrounds, 31.01.2014: On Film
Laneway was shot on film in the same fashion as Big Day Out: Kodak Tri-X pushed to ISO 800, and then developed in ID-11. In developing these ones I was surprised to see how many acts I photographed on film given how busy the day was Nine out of 22 acts were given the honour; […]
Big Day Out 2014 @ Metricon Stadium, 19.01.2014: On Film

Brisbane Sounds 2009 on Film
As well as taking the usual digital photos at Brisbane Sounds 2009, as previously posted here, I also took a couple rolls of Ilford HP5, rating the ISO400 film at ISO1600 and then developing them for 14 minutes in ID-11 developer. The results are very grainy, as was expected, although slightly less than the photos […]
Villains of Wilhelm + White Mansions @ UnderExposed
One of the definite downsides to photographing regularly (See: Always) for publications is that it can be hard to relax, enjoy your photography, mess around, experiment, have fun; it’s always about getting the shot and this can easily take up all your time and focus at a gig because you have to deliver the goods.
