UnderExposed Launch

The UnderExposed exhibition that I have previously blogged about and more formally written about opened on Thursday night with the VIP/private viewing night. And it was a really fantastic night. I got there just before the official opening time and definitely had a real sense of awe at walking into the gallery and seeing all […]


All Tomorrow’s Parties – Mt Buller: Saturday Quick Round-Up

Saturday was probably an even better day than Friday. Here’s a quick round-up. Time to start going through all the photos in a bit more detail now and to try to remember all the things that happened over the weekend, a tall order all things considered. I probably should have taken some notes as I […]


All Tomorrow’s Parties – Mt Buller: Friday Quick Round-Up

Back in Brisbane after an amazing weekend at Mt Buller. I had planned on doing a quick round-up of Friday yesterday but the internet place on the mountain wasn’t letting me upload. So here’s some stuff from Friday and hopefully I’ll be able to do a quick round up of Saturday’s events tomorrow, before I […]


All Tomorrow’s Parties – Mt Buller: Thursday

It’s always about the sex, the drugs, the glamour, the romance. It’s never about getting up at 4:15am to get to the airport to get the plane down to Melbourne. The taxi comes at 4:45am and it’s a quiet ride, everyone in a state of still being half-asleep combined with early morning grumpiness. But gradually […]


The Datsuns + Black Diamond Heavies @ The Zoo

  The law of diminishing returns in the music industry shows, especially in more recent years when the record companies have demanded immediate success and have been less likely to allow a band to develop over a number of albums, that however well your debut album is received, the follow up is unlikely to match […]


Welcome to the Brave New World of Digital Camera 2.0

I finally took the plunge and bought a new camera.  I’ve had my Minolta 5D for 3¼ years and it always was my intention to look to upgrade after 3 years. Originally there was some talk that Sony’s recently released full-frame camera, the a900, would come in at under US$2,000 so I was waiting to […]


That Was The Year That Was 2008

2008 was another hectic year, which in photographic terms looked something like this: Girl Talk Buck 65 The National Enter Shikari The Police Battles Scul Hazards Brisbane Sounds Died Pretty Soundwave Broken Social Scene Toto Coco Rosie The Brisbane Sound Buffalo Tom The Bellrays Sinead O’Connor Whitesnake QOTSA Jesus & Mary Chain Spectrum Wolfmother Gin […]


Global Gathering 2008 @ Doomben Racecourse

Whilst the line-up for Global Gathering 2009 doesn’t have the same weight of performers as Parklife back in October, there is just enough on the bill to make requesting to cover it worthwhile, although in fairness if it isn’t for Kraftwerk playing I wouldn’t have been interested. The days preceding the festival had an ominous […]


Def Leppard @ BEC

Love is like a bomb, baby, c’mon get it on Livin’ like a lover with a radar phone Lookin’ like a tramp, like a video vamp Demolition woman, can I be your man? Razzle ‘n’ a dazzle ‘n’ a flash a little light Television lover, baby, go all night Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet Little […]


Tim Finn @ The Troubadour

Last time Tim Finn played in Brisbane it was with the reformed Split Enz at the 13,500-capcaity Entertainment Centre, so it was a real thrill to get the opportunity to see him play at 200-capcaity The Troubadour this week.  His 75 minute set included songs from his new album, ‘The Conversation‘, plus crowd-pleasing Split Enz favourites (‘I […]


Joan As Police Woman @ The Globe

There was a two-song limit in place for photographing Joan As Police Woman. But not something sensible like Songs One and Two or Two and Three; instead it was the slightly bizarre pairing of Songs Two and Five. In retrospect there was some method to this madness, as these songs gave the differing opportunites of […]


We Are Scientists + Bluejuice @ The Zoo

This night was one of those very rare occasions at The Zoo when you’re given a photo pass and told “first three, no flash”. Whilst I can deal with this “industry standard”, it is a pain when it’s at a small venue without a photo pit and without much in the way of lighting. Support […]


The Lonely Coming Down Photoshoot

My friend Danica from The Holy Bible called me up again about doing a photo shoot for another band she’s in, The Lonely Coming Down. It’s the law in Brisbane that if you play in a band, you have to have to be in at least one other band… (The best example of this is […]


The Audreys at The Zoo – No Chimping Allowed

– His computer’s off. – Luke, you switched off your targeting computer. What’s wrong? – Nothing. I’m all right I recently made the point on the flickr concert photography forum that photographing concerts isn’t rocket science – most of what’s happening on stage – the lighting, where people stand, what they do – is completely […]


Time-Lapse Photography – Part 2

Although my initial investigations into time-lapse photography were done on film back in 2004, my interest has still been there in recent years, and even more so since I got my first digital camera in late 2006. Although I have been looking to do something that involves a series of continuous and rapid shots, I […]
