Heaps happy for them and good to see my pic in the magazine. Be sure to pic up a copy and also check em out, they have just recently Been endorsed by Affends Clothing Label, so I have to go up to do some Affends promos for them too, which will be fun.
Just learnt what all this twitter business was, so I made one up, check it out and add me or whatever. Shot Cry Murder with their new singer, and Anime Fire with their new EP a couple of weeks back and got the pix finally sorted. Here are some of my favs:

A Taste...

Been pretty busy lately, sorting out pictures, seeing friends, working and taking photos. Still waiting on the Wish for Wings Promos which are being edited by their own OliverXbones, who also was a mentor too me as he is a very talented photographer himself. But he did send me One of the portraits I did of Him the same day.

Also did some promo's for a band from Sutherland who are yet to make a move on the hardcore scene or even myspace, called Cut Loose. But they have some sick stuff and I was really happy how the promos turned out. Also part of the shoot we did in an old, burnt out shed and found heaps of amazing Japanese Tattoo Flashes and other stuff, like this:

My Best friend who moved out to Melb is back this week, so it'll be really good to see him this week and my girlfriend, and then shooting Bury Your Dead For STOMP touring this sat at the manning bar, so make your way out there.

Finally

I finally feel a load has been lifted from my chest. I have finally finished sorting out, editing, sending and putting up all the photos from the Sydney Tattoo & Body Art Expo 2009 (check em out here).
I had a great time there, and was a really awesome and new experience for me, and i hope i get similar experiences in the future.
But now I still have a whole lot more photos to sort out, edit, send and put up, including Wish for Wings Promos, which turned out pretty good, Break Even live pix, Anime fire live pix and cry murder live pix. Also found some pix from one of the first shows i took photos at, Terror and Her nightmare about 3 years ago. So i wanna chuck a couple of them up that i never did anything with.
So yeah still got a bit to go.
Also my beloved friend Edgil who designs for bands such as, A Day To Remember, My Child My Bride, Silverstien, Hawthorne Heights, Between the Buried & Me, Etc. made me a lil present which i was so happy with.
Also recently got an email from an English Webzine called Vanity, and it seems i was published in their first issue for the photos from the Internal Affairs show a couple of months back. Except for some reason it had 50 lions headlining? hahah
