Only 9 or so hours of work to get through before I leave for The Dresden Dolls!
Shall be my second time seeing them, and first time in Wellington.

So excited!

Back from Christchurch now, had an absolutely stunning time.
Ate too much, spent too much, learnt far too little.
What else are work trips all about?

Had a chance to meet up with the beautiful Purity for a brief photoshoot on Sunday. We braved the hot sun and the cold wind, and despite the less than perfect conditions came away with one or two good...

Still, I guess it was nice to...

Kicking it 'Old School'...

Once upon a time I used to get asked to shoot bands in small clubs with no lights/only red lighting gels/instore gigs etc. Thats all well and good, until it comes to trying to correctly expose your shots, or make them look different from every other fanboi/girl there with a happy-snappy digital camera.

Black Chrome + Knife Fight

Sitting at work, busy as hell when I get a text. "You ready to go? Be there in 15 minutes." Switch the computer off, rush down the hill and get picked up in the shitty red van.

With a flight crew consisting of the lovely Black Chrome boys, plus sound tech, wife and driver -...
