It's that time of year

This is my last post for 2007, what has happend in 2007 you ask?, alot but the highlight would have to be joining the tkosm guys, and working on DBD. Now I am in Kitslano located in Vancouver, a 2 min drive from downtown. Three weeks into my trip and so far I have alot of fun. The following photos are from the last week, they include christmas and a snowboarding trip, the first time I have seen snow. So have a happy new year and enjoy the photos.

Just chilling, literally chilling

The last two weeks I have been in Vancouver hanging out with my sister and my brother in law, what have I been doing? drinking and chilling. Here are some photos.
no headings again but you get the drift.

The Red Shore help: amended.

Please email mel@destroyalllines.com if you have any money to donate for The Red Shore. There has been an account set up specifically for this.

Here is the info from my previous post:

If you haven't already heard, a Melbourne band named The Red Shore had an horrific accident earlier on this week in which 2 people died. The last I have heard about it one of the members is also paralysed from the waist down. This is easily the most tragic thing to occur in Australian underground music this year.

Their van was not covered by insurance and they have to pay back the damages. They also have funeral costs and what has turned into ongoing medical bills. If you can help in any small way at all please do. By clicking here you can go to a secure paypal site and make a donation. Any amount counts.

SWANG LIFE

The last couple months have formed one big blur within my brain, leaving only photos to piece together what has actually happened.

I really couldnt be fucked re-editing them without borders and watermarks, so just try and ignore that shit.

Here's what i've been up to...


The Secret Garden



Infamous Dudes

This is our new spot, appropriately named The Willow.
All this is within 20m of each other...










New spot a mate found.
Chucked my camera on a tripod and let my mate press the shutter.


Went down to Carrackalinga for a night.
Pretty much an excuse to smoke doobies in another location.





Will Minson came down, as he had a few nights off from the Bulldogs.
He is actually Aquaman.

Two of my best mates went overseas recently, so they had a bit of a farewell thang at Scotty's crib.



The Tulip. The best doobie of all time!!







Made this bowl out of a satellite dish. Amazing to skate.

Sunrise. In a world of my own.



Wooden Jeans

A SAD, FIRST CONTRIBUTION

As mentioned below, please do everything to help and support what has happened to The Red Shore.

RIP DAMO & ANDY

Please help out The Red Shore.

Hahahahah

It's a TKOSM Christmas..

Now let's get drunk... Wooooooooooo.

PENNY ROYAL TEA

Well ladies and gents, as the year draws to a sudden pause, I figured it would probably do myself good to do a real blog update and share some of the images that I've taken over the past three months. This update represents what I have been up to between the start of October and now.


Faust "Penny Royal Tea"

I'll start with some random bits and pieces;


Amore bombing.


We worked on artwork for the new Redtape Renegades compilation. I shot all the buildings for this (Not the billboard tho), and Joel put it all together. The final package is printed on uncoated stock and the cover is complete with gold foil. We are super stoked to have been involved in this project. The actual music is really fresh too, pick this up if you get the chance.


This is the reverse side of the fold-out booklet for the above mentioned Redtape compilation. This was really fun to shoot. Click to see bigger.


I did some headshots for Yimmy Kingdom's twin brother Michael. Stoked with how they came out.


Promo photo for Lochlan's band "Western Decay"


A man and his camera; James Hartley, photo extraordinaire.


Look book shots for the new Grand Scheme summer range.




I shot some photos for a shirt for Paul Frank, this is an out-take. Thanks Rone for the hook-up.


Joel has been doing some cool hand-drawn fonts lately. The above are some headings for the new Death Before Dishonour and a record sleeve for a exhibition/ charity auction that Kab101 put on in Adelaide. Look for more of this work in our exhibition mid Jan.


The final stages of DBD 7. Putting the layout order together.


Speaking of the new DBD. Go buy it. It's in stores nationwide Dec 28th. Parkway Drive feature on both covers, 'cause they fuckin' rule! On a side note, the new album from The Dillinger Escape Plan is fuckin' incredible. Check it out. I'm listening to "Milk Lizard" right now and it's off the hook. Song of the year!


Still chasing skrilla;

IRONLAK TEAM ROADTRIP - Melbourne and Adelaide

TASTE OF CHAOS

I got the opportunity to go backstage and shoot The Bled at the Taste Of Chaos festival (Brisbane Entertainment Centre). Of course, I did what any good member of the press would do, I got drunk. Afterwards we went to a house party and drank goon. Nice.

DAY OFF WITH ELZEE
At the end of October I had a day off to spend with my lovely wifey. We went bowling. It was rad.

BRETT AND TALI SITTING IN A TREE

My home-slices Brett and Tali tied the knot in November. They invited me, of all people, to shoot the wedding. Shit's cool. Afterwards they went off to India to have lots of sex and watch people die. Sounds hectic.

RANDOM PARTY NIGHT IN BRISBANE - NOVEMBER

FIRST TIME IN PERTH - November

So, after randomly partying the night before (see above), I got about 20 mins shut-eye on the couch and headed to the airport to fly to Perth. Of course, I missed my plane which is always good. After breakfast at the airport and a hungover as fuck flight, I landed in Perth and headed straight over to Ironlak's BBQ Burners, late, as usual. Thanks to Aimee and Drew from Keith and Lottie for showing us a fucking rad time in Perth. And thanks also to Lake and Jess for giving me a place to rest. Oh and thanks to my homies at Ironlak for flying me all over the country this year! Buy Ironlak! They deserve your support.
