2 Weeks 5 Days & Counting...

It again has been awhile since I've posted anything, Just been so busy sorting everything out for University and moving to England for 5 months which is getting intense. Sorted most of my Port Folio out, just gotta improve a couple of images. Also packing away my room, which I haven't done for about 10 years which is scary. Also found out I'm going to be going to LA, staying at Venice Beach for a week before I got to England, cause my mum has to do some work at Universal studios.
So me and my bro get to go to the Universal Studios theme park for a couple of days, And pretty keen for this

And this

As well as everything else, it will be amazing, and hopefully document or at least keep this thing up to date with whats going on during my whole trip.

Also last week went to both Hardcore '09's but was able to shoot the 18+ Manning Bar show which was really great, especially too be able to shoot Cruel Hand;

-Shinto Katana

-White Male Dumbinance


-Miles Away

-Cruel Hand





Also my friends from xStrength Through Purityx who I had done promos for awhile back, had been sending this around and thought it looked sick:

I don't know how many more opportunities I'll have too update this before I leave, but be sure to keep checking through out the rest of the year for updates on my trip.
Thanks

Photos, Photos, Photos

Although this is a late post, it dosen't change the fact that my weekend was quite a hectic one, with many many photos taken. Hence why it has taken so long to post anything. Anyway Ill begin with my friday night. I went to A Shinto Katana show in Blacktown, it was Jack Napier's 2nd last show and with risk of missing their last I wanted to go. Because in a sense I grew up with Jack Napier as a band, Althought thier line up is nearly totally different from when I first saw them.
Also We Stand Alone were opening for the show and they had asked me to do their promos on sunday so I went to check em out too.
It was an all round alright right show. Here are my Fav Pix
The rest of the pix from the rest of the weekend will be posted in seperate posts.

Australia Day

Australia Day isn't usually a thing a celebrate, not because im un-patriotic or anything, but I just didn't realise it was something to celebrate. So for my 'celebration' me and my girlfriend Deanne deceided to go camping as the weather had been nice and hot and dry the last week. So after arriving at the campsite to the sound of JJJ's hottest 100 we set everything up and went for a swim. After returning to the campsite we couldn't help but notice nearly everyone had left.
And then soon enough we were the only ones left in the campsite.
Not bothering to wonder why we continued to chill and cook marshmellows and noodels. But it didn't take much longer to realise why, it began to rain. after retreating to our tent it continued to rain the whole night. The next day waking to a flooded tent.
Wasn't the best of Australia/Post Australia Days but was stilll it totality a good time.
Also on the weekend went for a really chilled skate with my friend Tom, it was good times and found some cool places. Didn't take much snaps but was good.
This weekends shaping up to be an alright one, seeing Shinto Katanan who I haven't seen in ages and I also hear it's Jack Napier's last show, so check it out at Blacktown this friday. And my good friend from Flatline Drama, AJ is having a Birthday partywhich should b sick times ahead.

Here are a few Camp Shots:

And A couple Of Shots from my City Skate, Non of actual skating but this dude was amazing. He was a 'Professional' Busker. Travelling the world busking, all income from Busking. What A life.


And this is just some strange thing I found amusing. Dairy Products Gone Bad???
