Baking

2011-01-23T16:37:00.000-08:00

I'm aiming to take a lot more photos this year... not just of music related stuff as I normally do, but of everything. So I was doing some baking the other morning and I decided that I might as well take photos too.

Royal Crown Revue

2011-01-23T15:14:00.000-08:00

I shot Royal Crown Revue the other night, it was my second time shooting them and fourth time seeing them live. So much fun! I Love how a lot of the crowd dresses up for it as well. They were supported by a band from Perth called Boom! Bap! Pow. Here are a few photos of both bands

DZ/The Death Set

2011-01-16T21:51:00.000-08:00

I went to the Health show at Woodland on Saturday night (I think it was Saturday, this past week has all just rolled into one) anyway I was really, really tired and Health weren't going on till 12 so I didn't actually make it that late. But I did take some photos of DZ and The Death Set

Maasai village

2011-01-14T23:50:00.000-08:00

While we were out on safari this time we stopped in at a Maasai village. These are just a few photos of the people and their homes.

Safari

2011-01-13T16:25:00.000-08:00

I haven't posted anything on here for a long time. I spent 5 weeks in Tanzania again recently so I'm going to do a blog of animal photos from safari, then one of the Maasai people then I'll put up a few photos of the floods we've been having here in Brisbane recently.

CMJ 2010

2010-10-27T13:41:00.001-07:00

I went to New York last week to shoot the 2010 CMJ film and music festival. It was amazing! 1200 bands playing over a lot of different venues all around New York. I didn't get around to shooting anywhere near as many bands as I would have liked too but it was still a great week. If you would like to see all of the photos you can here

I went and saw a few bands I knew and a lot of bands I hadn't heard of before. My highlights included finally getting to see Philadelphia Grand Jury (I've some how always managed to miss their shows over here) Bad Books (made up of Manchester Orchestra and Kevin Devine) were great, as was Johnny Flynn. As far as bands I hadn't heard of before I think my favourite new discoveries of the week were River City Extension, Death On Two Wheels and Dom. Anyway here are the photos.

Ben Kweller

2010-10-05T18:41:00.000-07:00

I haven't shot a show in ages! But lat night I went to Ben Kweller and Delta Spirit it was an amazing show! I'm not really very happy with the BK shots but the Delta Spirit ones are ok I think. In a week and a half I'm heading over to New York to shoot CMJ so there will be a lot of photos coming up in a few weeks. Also Villains of Wilhelm (who if you follow this blog you will know I've shot a lot of) are calling it a day so I'll catch some shots of their last show as well :( Anyway... here are some photos from last night.

DZ in 3D

2010-08-27T20:13:00.000-07:00

DZ played a fundraiser show at The Zoo last night for their upcoming trip to New York (I'm going with them for a part of it, which I'm pretty excited about) It was a great show but once again I'm not very happy with the photos. DZ are always a pretty difficult band to shoot because they use strobes and other crazy lights a lot which are awesome if you're just watching but a bit more of a challenge to take photos of (they had 3D lights set up last night so I attempted to take a few photos through the glasses. They actually turned out better than I had hoped) crowds at their shows are always fairly nuts as well I was knocked over a couple of times last night but I don't mind that as long as my camera is ok haha. Anyway ... here are a few photos.

Not a great deal to say about these photos. Just playing around with pretty lights and long exposures I guess.

Comic Sans Final Show

2010-08-21T05:35:00.000-07:00

So last night Comic Sans played at the Clubhouse, it was their last ever show which is a bit sad but it was certainly entertaining to say the least. I was initially going to try and shoot from the front but I'm pretty happy I didn't, I'm not sure I would have made it out alive. Anyway... here are a few of the photos.

Eels

2010-08-13T20:39:00.000-07:00

I was really excited about shooting Eels last night. Sadly it was not a great show to photograph. The night started with a very quirky ventriloquist he was actually really good but I guess not what the crowd was expecting. Next was Laura Imbruglia, she was good I guess but nothing very exciting. I had a feeling Eels were not going to be great to photograph when I noticed all of the signs around the venue asking the general public not to take photos and unfortunately that was definitely the case. E Walked out wearing a bandana and sunglasses and played the first three songs pretty much by himself under one or two blue lights that didn't change for the duration. As soon as three songs were up and the photographers were out it was pretty lights and full band. Oh well. I'm really not very happy with the photos. Lucky it was such a great show. I wasn't feeling too well so told myself I wouldn't stay for the whole thing but it sucked me in and I didn't end up leaving till it was over.

Q Song Awards 2010

2010-08-12T20:08:00.000-07:00

On Tuesday night I went along and took some photos at the Q Song awards. The event was hosted by Richard Fidler and Sarah Howells and included performances from Yves Klein Blue, Kev Carmody, Dubmarines and more. Hungry Kids of Hungary took out song of the year and best alternative. Yves Klein Blue got Rock, Villains of Wilhelm got Punk and My Fiction won Peoples Choice. You can find a full list of winners here (http://www.qmusic.com.au/qsong/2010/index.cfm?contentID=494) I took a lot of photos so I'll just put a few of them up on here. If you would like to see any more of them they are all here - http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/gallery/18083/Q-Song-Awards

2010-07-21T02:54:00.001-07:00

I just got back from a month back at home in Tanzania, while I was there I went on safari to Tarangire national park and Ngorogoro Crater (one of my favourite places in the world) anyway here are a few of the photos I took while I was over there.

Story Of The Year

2010-06-13T06:42:00.000-07:00

Story Of The Year played at The Hi Fi tonight, supported by Saosin and Bless The Fall. While it's not really the sort of music that I listen to anymore I was still really excited about shooting Soty. I've seen them a couple of times before and their live show is always amazing. I'm not very happy with the photos but they certainly put on a good show.

Ginger Witches

2010-05-27T18:58:00.000-07:00

Last night I popped along to The Zoo to take some photos of Ginger Witches first show. They were really good! There are a few familiar faces in the band. I'm really looking forward to seeing them again in a couple of weeks.

Biffy Clyro

2010-05-18T09:26:00.000-07:00

I shot Biffy Clyro tonight, I've shot them before. In fact they were the third band I ever shot, I loved it then so I was really looking forward to taking photos tonight as I know a little bit more about what I'm doing. I think I've decided they are my favourite band to shoot. They put on a great show. Support for the night was local boys Montpellier.

Tame Impala

2010-05-14T18:44:00.000-07:00

Tame Impala played at The Tivoli last night. I'm not sure if it was sold out but it was definitely packed and they put on a fantastic show as they always do. I really love watching this band, it was nice shooting them at The Tiv as the only times I've shot them in the past have been at out door venues. The support acts were The Silents (who were also really good) and Blonde on Blonde. I had a really enjoyable night.

Oh Ye Denver Birds put on a sold out show at The Troubadour last night supported by Bigstrongbrute and Big Dead. It was a really fun night.

Julian Casablancas!

2010-05-06T19:27:00.000-07:00

So I got to shoot Julian Casablancas last night! I was incredibly excited and I certainly wasn't let down. I'm not overly pleased with the photos but I guess some of them are ok. Can't wait for him to come back in a couple of months with The Strokes.

I finally have a film scanner.

2010-04-27T06:48:00.000-07:00

I finally got myself a film scanner today so I thought I would put a few photos up. Most of these are from about two years ago. I'll be doing another similar entry after I've scanned some more.

For one of my assignments at college I had to do "urban landscapes" so I took photos of my friends outside their houses.

This is also part of "urban landscapes" people at work, this is Julian Morrow being interviewed by some of my friends for a radio show.

Bluejuice - HiFi

2010-04-23T22:06:00.000-07:00

Bluejuice are a band that I've seen play a few times and every time I've been very sad that I hadn't had a camera with me, and once again someone beat me too it on the website I normally shoot for. Luckily one of my friends managed to hook me up with a pass. There was no three song rule for a change so I took far too many photos. It was a great show apart from having water thrown all over myself and my camera a few times. I missed the first support (the swamplords) but got there in time to take a few snaps of The Holidays. I've shot them a couple of times before when they did a tour with Yves Klein Blue. Anyway, it was a fun night.

2010-04-17T19:39:00.000-07:00

Ykb played at The Old Museum last night supported by the always lovely Cloud Control and Last Dinosaurs. I had issues fighting my way to the front for this so I shot most from side of stage or the back of the room. It was a fun show all the bands were great. I'm not sure my ears are ever going to recover from all the screaming teenage girls though.

Something a bit different.

2010-04-16T23:04:00.001-07:00

Most of the photos I post on here are obviously music based but I'm starting to get really excited about the fact that I'll hopefully be going back to Tanzania in the near future so I thought I would put up some photos from the last time that I was there.

I'm off to shoot YKB/Cloud Control/ Last Dinosaurs at The Old Museum tonight so I'll put those photos up sometime soon.

New Found Glory!

2010-04-11T22:27:00.000-07:00

New Found Glory, Hit The Lights and Fireworks played at The HiFi last night. I was really very excited leading up to this show. I don't know the support acts really but New Found Glory were one of my favourite bands as a teenager, I'm pretty sure this was the fifth time I've seen them play. They were the first band I saw without parental supervision (when they played with Sum 41 at Festival Hall back in '03) they were also the first band I ever met (I got my turquoise chucks signed by them after a show at The Tiv years ago and it was pretty much the best thing ever at the time) So anyway while I don't really listen to them anymore it was really awesome to finally get to photograph them, and they were fantastic as usual. I'm a bit bruised and battered today after being just about knocked over by a crowd surfer and then another 2 landing on me after that... but it was worth it. I'm once again not really very happy with the photos though :(

2010-04-10T20:35:00.000-07:00

I went down to Sydney with Last Dinosaurs this week. We did the drive down on Weds (by we I mean Krystie as she did the entire thing herself) It was a really fun trip and I wish I could have stayed for the whole thing! I had to miss the show on Saturday night as I had something to shoot back in Brisbane. Anyway... here are a few of the photos.

Jeff Beck

2010-04-01T05:47:00.000-07:00

In another last minute change of plans I got the chance to shoot Jeff Beck tonight. I guess I'm not really all that familiar with him all though I'm aware he is one of the most famous guitarists around. He ranked 14th in Rolling Stones "100 greatest guitarists of all time" It was pretty amazing hopefully these photos can do it justice.

Brand New - The Tivoli

2010-03-27T21:58:00.000-07:00

I had a last minute change of plans last night and covered for a friend shooting Brand New which I was more than happy about as I wanted to shoot them anyway. The lights were a bit of a challenge and I'm not sure how happy I am with the results, but I'll put them up anyway. Support for the night was Kevin Devine.

After the Brand New show I headed over to Cubby Hole to take a few snaps of The Villains of Wilhelm who were as always entertaining to shoot. I intended on shooting The Rocketsmiths as well but I got a little distracted, anyway here are a few shots of the villains.

Converge - The HiFi

2010-03-20T20:45:00.000-07:00

I shot Converge at The HiFi last night, I was a little anxious after seeing this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urlF9jrJ5O0) of one of their shows, I was probably more worried for the safety of my camera than my own safety. But in the end it was actually really enjoyable to shoot. They were supported by Genghis Tron and locals Ghost Town

The Pixies

2010-03-18T18:50:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I got a last minute confirmation to shoot The Pixies! I think this was probably the most excited I've ever been to shoot a band. We were able to watch the first 3 songs side of stage and then shoot 5,6,7,8 so I actually got to see a fair bit of the show as well which just made it even better.

Fans First Birthday

2010-03-13T19:03:00.000-08:00

Fans celebrated their first birthday by putting on some great bands at 610 Anne st. Sadly it was shut down by the police but not before all of the bands played. The line up was Strange Attractors, Megastick Fanfare, Young Heretics and Jonathan Boulet.

DZ - Teeth

2009-12-22T00:53:00.000-08:00

So DZ filmed a live portion of their film clip for upcoming release "Teeth" I went along and took a couple of snaps while I was there. I didn't take many and most of them were taken quickly in between takes as obviously I didn't want to be annoying while they were shooting. It was a really fun night.

This Thursday Powderfinger, Custard (reformed just for the night), Yves Klein Blue, The Middle East and The Cairos all came together at the riverstage in Brisbane to celebrate Queensland's 150th birthday. It's probably the biggest venue I have shot to date. I really enjoyed it, was meant to be shooting Animal Collective afterwards but didn't get there in time to take any photos.

2009-12-08T03:43:00.000-08:00

I went along to the Troub on Friday night to take some photos of Cloud Control. It was stinking hot but Cloud Control were wonderful, as they always are. I've never seen Leader Cheetah before and I enjoyed their set too. Oh Ye Denver Birds have supported probably the past 3 or 4 bands I've seen, and I'm not bored of them yet. So that must be a good thing right. Anyway here are a few photos.

I went to the Zoo last night to shoot The Veils, they were really really good! It's the second time I've seen them and was just as impressed as I was the first time I saw them. They were supported by Oh Mercy, who I've seen a few times and always enjoyed and then the first band was Canvas Kites who I had not heard of before. They were pretty good as well. I realised the other day that the way I describe the shows I shoot is not very exciting. I suppose that's why I'm a photographer not a writer.

Hungry Kids of Hungary - Let You Down

2009-11-17T23:05:00.001-08:00

This weekend I went along to the roof of the China Town car park to take some behind the scenes photos of the Hungry Kids of Hungary making the film clip for their new single "Let You Down" it was a really fun experience, can't wait to see the finished clip.
