A Long Week

Again it has been awhile since I've posted anything, But it's been a busy week, I have a lot to write about and so alot for you guys to hopefully read.. Over Last Weekend I went up to Brisbane to get my tattoo finished by Rachi Brains at All Star Tattoos. I was really happy with how it turned out;
-Still Fresh

Saw my friend Josh on the plane going to get his tattoo finished by Rachi aswell, so he was able to show me where the private All Stars Parlour was and i took a few pix of the joint.


-pleasant environment...

But while up there I decided to make a lil 'holiday' of it, so the first night did promos for xStrength Through Purityx, Funnest dudes, make sure you check em out, they'll be touring with xLiferuinerx From US around Aug. Anyway had a really great time and got some good results. Also was a good chance to test out my newly cracked photoshop CS3.


-The Crew

Also took some tourist snaps;
-Brizvegas
-Casino right in the city centre

And went to the Modern Art Museum where these was a sick show called 'The China Project', so interesting,

As soon as I got off the plane I took advantage of the rare situation of being in Sydney at a late time with money to spare and went to Brisbane to buy the camera and lense I have been planning to buy for awhile from Craig Nye, A Nikon F70 film SLR, with a 50mm AF lense.
Haven't had a chance to try it out, but i have played around with the lense on my digital, good shit.

Also after getting back from Brisbane had to sort out my shit for the Bare Your Teeth Exhibition comin up at the end of the month. Originally was goin to have 3 prints but ran outta money and time, so stuck with 2 pix; the oneof Sam From Ghost town, and the pic from Internal Affairs Last show in Syd. Some of my favourite pix from this year so far.


There are some good artists playing and displaying at the two day exhibition so make sure if your in Melbourne around the 29th-30th of this month (MAY) go check it out.

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

Wings

I was heaps happy recently to find out my good friends, from the mnts, who had just started up a new hardcore band called Facebreaker, got the local support for Parkway Drive's Penrith show for their first show. It's this Friday with Crime Scene & Dropsaw, should be good.

Also Friday is the first day of the first annuel Sydney Tattoo & Body Art Expo, which is looking too go off with some of the best international and local tattoo artists and piercers, as well as many stalls, competitions, live bands & performances.
I'm also getting my first tatt by Rachi Brains that day, which I've had too wait 8 months for.
So deff make your way down to the expo at Homebush, Sydney Showground this Fri, Sat and Sun.




Also caught Wish for Wings and Bermuda at Blacktown Masonic on sat. Shooting Wish for Wings again, made me feel nostalgic as it had been awhile since id last seen em. So I decided to revisit my past in photography and do some slow shutter speed photography again, here are some of the pix from the show:
