Shane and Christine get married


Ladies with their flowers, and the men with their red label 'Reserve' Stones, all was in readiness for a country wedding.


Meeting at the Maldon train station, all of the guests were boarded onto the J541. Kidnapped! ...and taken to Muckleford station where formalities took place.



The couple planted a tree (a local variety) at Muckleford, before we all boarded back onto the train to return to Maldon, where we ate, drank and danced the night away at the Progress Hall.Congratulations Shane and Christine!

My New Mamiya RB67 Camera vs Me

So, I have a new camera! The Mamiya RB67 is a pro studio type camera that's kinda known as the workhorse in the commercial and fashion industry.. until digital has taken over. So, I picked mine up cheap!

Here's me trying it out on myself using some 6 year out of date Polaroid film. I'm looking forward to putting proper film through it... stay tuned.

p.s. like my new suit?

Agwa, and how to drink it...



So, a while back I tried to make a product look good. Perhaps the company would like to give me lots of money and a life time's supply of this stuff?

Magic Dirt - Dean Turner Tribute gig at the Corner


Magic Dirt played their Melbourne leg of the Dean Turner Tribute Shows recently. For many it was an emotionally charged show, particularly as they opened with Dean's favorite song Baby Cakes. It was also a fantastically rockin show of celebration, being one of the best gigs I've seen an ages. It also launched the White Boy EP, which was one of the last projects Dean worked on before his passing.

Another highlight for me was the addition of a bloke who's style has greatly inspired my own guitar playing, Daniel Herring (below) who joined the stage for a few songs.

Rowland S Howard - 2005

Rowland has a new album out called Pop Crimes, and so he's in the press a bit lately.
This photo I took at his home in 2005, while shooting an interview for the Sticky Carpet documentary.

Justice Yeldham - Lucas Abela

You may have seen a Justice Yeldham set, playing the sheet of glass, like he did at this year's Camp A Low Hum. I found this photo in my vault, taken at the Rob Roy hotel back in 2005.

Scum System Kill at Maggotville 2006



Scum System Kill have seemingly broke up, but one glorious night at Maggotville (which sadly closed last month) they performed a killer set, enjoyed by all in attendance. SSK, along with fellow Sydney folk, Crux are (or were) my pick of the bunch of crust-punk bands going round.
