So this blog has been dormant for some time now, the main excuse is because, for various reasons, I'm not really shooting any gigs. But I've been missing shooting and blogging so yesterday I had the thought... Why does this have to be a music photography blog? If my circumstances change then why can't this blog and my subject matter just change with it? Am I a photographer or am I a music photographer? Who am I? Why do I feel this way? Why is someone talking loudly in the quiet carriage on the train? What does "Dandenong" even mean?<div><br></div><div>Wait... what?</div><div><br></div><div>I lived in Sydney for 3 years before moving to Melbourne and I cut my teeth on the mean streets of that strange town with my trusty 20D and a cheap lens or two, shooting mostly street related photos. So I'm going to start taking my 20D with the same cheap lens to work with me again... I commute 20 hours per week so there will be A LOT of commuting photos.. I'll be shooting on the 20D and my iPhone and I'm going to evolve. Fuck. I might even try a new thing or two!</div><div><br></div><div>I'll still shoot gigs but it's not going to be the be-all-and-end-all of my shooting. That would be a great disservice to my photography passion. I'll be blogging a lot from my phone so the format may not always be the same between posts but I'll try and tidy this up at home :)</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaMq56pt3WWtjtwIWeXWWHAqLMq_oFTungoMex-l46l3UrGxVM_8nbtvyJmXDWR98cRCzxAOJuTkLQ9NNqOaDZflB4q2VXYeuB7XEUPsfRFlpEYxMcFVbxsYIhmLI89J7BwXS5plJjksnG/s640/blogger-image-1381922547.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaMq56pt3WWtjtwIWeXWWHAqLMq_oFTungoMex-l46l3UrGxVM_8nbtvyJmXDWR98cRCzxAOJuTkLQ9NNqOaDZflB4q2VXYeuB7XEUPsfRFlpEYxMcFVbxsYIhmLI89J7BwXS5plJjksnG/s640/blogger-image-1381922547.jpg"></a></div>"de-vice" <span style="text-align: center; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">© 2015 Michael James Christian</span></div>mikesaidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03538512018327354963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148365158474526485.post-9869408562659329092014-08-24T20:45:00.003-07:002014-08-24T20:45:59.845-07:00Wagons - Caravan Music Club<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We had plans of taking Theo to his first proper gig, and what better band than the Wagons and what better venue than the child-friendly Caravan Music Club. The poor wee guy fell ill in the week leading up to the show so he decided that he should stay at home, and mum should too... </div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
As with any gig I usually photograph nowdays - I have to like the band, and like the Wagons I do... and the Wagons like me, so it's all working out pretty well. I have shot these guys too many times to recall. Twice on this tour alone. It's great to see a band (who is usually great live) exceed your expectations. I can put it all down to playing a stack of shows between the gig at the <a href="http://thelazywanker.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/hi.html" target="_blank">HiFi</a> and tonight. They were fantastic, so well played and it was a pleasure to shoot them again.</div>

You will be aware that I have had some photos in the latest <a href="http://www.thebeards.com.au/" target="_blank">Beards</a> album. Part of the deal was that I would be able to photograph them with a AAA pass when they play Melboune on their latest tour promoting <a href="http://www.thebeards.com.au/store/" target="_blank">The Beard Album</a>. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I managed to have a chat with all the guys, and just as I thought - they were all really cool. We spoke about beards, my step-son who loves them and Louie CK - that's a pretty good conversation right there, if you ask me. By the time they took the stage I wasn't able to get ANY good vantage points for photos from the crowd side so I went back / side stage and shot from there. I had initially thought that I had done myself a great disservice because this is a band that you are better off shooting from the front, as they are fucking brilliant showmen. But by the end of the night I had some cracking shots - most of which were taken in the last half of the show - further proof that this three song rule is utter bollocks (I'm not sure if the Beards had this rule on the night).</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
So yea. I have shot these guys so many time - and written about them just as much. If you have a beard, like beards, or think that one day you might be manly enough to grow one, or think that it's too late for you (it's never too late) but you may be in a position of responsibility and want to do something just and right with that position - or if you are a bearded lady or if you are anything... you should check these guys out - and more importantly, if they ever play in your city - GO SEE THEM!!!!</div>

I have seen <b><a href="http://www.bandofskulls.com/" target="_blank">Band of Skulls</a></b> twice before tonight, the first time was when I photographed them waaaay back in May 2010, see the set <a href="http://thelazywanker.blogspot.com.au/2010/08/band-of-skulls.html" target="_blank">here</a>. And again in July 2012 but I wasn't photographing.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
They have recently released their third album called <i>Himalayan</i> and this makes three fucking great albums in a row from them - which is unheard of in this day in age* I don't really want to compare them to Led Zeppelin because I recently had a listen to Led Zep I, II and III and I find them to (mostly) be a bunch of pretentious wankery. But, I think Band of Skulls is Led Zeppelin without the wank... maybe? (this is why I take photos and don't review) I can't believe that drummer Matt Hayward was overlooked when Led Zeppelin reformed and they instead went with Bonzos son, Jason, who basically shot his drum jizz all over the place with out any real finesse - and also, more importantly, Matt has a beard:</div>

Band of Skulls comprises of Russell Marsden on Guitar and Vocals, Emma Richardson on Bass and Vocals and the previously mentioned Matt "I'm better than Jason Bonham" Hayward on Drums. They are from Southampton in the UK (despite what the gig board tells you at the HiFi in Melbourne) and have been around since when they formed as a band. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I found the HiFi to be a bit 'boxy' for them - they have sounded better the last couple of times I saw them but having said that I did watch most the gig from the front/side. There were loads of 'togs (that's industry lingo for photographers, not bathers, swimmers or trunks) so I thought I'd take a punt and shoot the first song from this great vantage point for shooting with a zoom that the HiFi offers - I then made my way through the crowd to the photo pit for the rest of the 3 songs we are given...<br />
<br />
FUN FACT 1: Emma Richardson is an artist: <a href="http://www.neverunderdressed.com/people/artist-in-residence/emma-richardson-abstract-artist" target="_blank">Check it out</a> <br />
FUN FACT 2: My son LOVES the band and will crack the shits (even in his sleep) if we turn it off in the car (it will also calm him down).<br />
<br />
So we have learnt some important stuff today:<br />
<ul>
<li>Band of Skulls are great, and if you like rock music, you should listen to them.</li>
<li>Jason Bonham has a lot of drum jizz, but with very little finesse and has made a career on his fathers name (who was a excellent drummer B.T.W.)</li>
<li>Matt Hayman should have drummed for Led Zeppelin on their 'comeback' shows.</li>
<li>I should just stick to photogracizing.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">* I have no idea if this is true.</span></div>

<i>Hello, firstly I'd like to apologise to my loyal reader for my absence... it's been a crazy first half of 2014 - I made a planter box and my partner and I had a beautiful baby boy named Theodore - he's awesome. If you follow me on </i><a href="http://iconosquare.com/michael_james_christian" target="_blank"><i>instagram</i></a><i> you may have noticed this.</i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
So I am back in the saddle, on the wagon so they say. Speaking of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/wagonsmusic?ref=br_tf" target="_blank">Wagons</a>, (did you see what I did there?) they have released a new album called Acid Rain and Sugar Cane and my photography features throughout it's pages. I didn't shoot the cover this time - that honor went to <a href="http://www.theartofcapture.com/main.html#/home" target="_blank">Kane Hibberd</a> who also shot the band photo you see on the back of the album. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The new album is fantastic, it fits nicely into the music genre 80's Country, well for me anyway. I seem to recall hearing it on my mums record player in 1986 when I was nine, but that can't be true.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
They are currently on tour promoting their new album and rolled through Melbourne recently with <a href="http://jonnyfritz.com/" target="_blank">Jonny Fritz</a> (USA) and fellow Melbournite <a href="http://www.singhalamusic.com/fraser-a-gorman/" target="_blank">Fraser A Gorman</a> as support. I arrived early enough to start on the rider before anyone got there and finally got to see backstage at the HiFi (it's basically a wobbly staircase leading to a room with 2 couches, 1 frudge and a table. And a floor). It's been a long while since Wagons played a full band show in Melbourne, as usual it was fantastic - I really enjoy photographing for a band instead for a publication because you usually get AAA access, this provides two things: I get to capture the show documentary style, I can take time with my shots and I also think that a gig gets more interesting to shoot as the night progresses. With the usual 3 song rule that can be imposed on shooters means you end up with 800 photos quickly fired off hoping that you may get 50 or 60 decent ones, and 5 killer shots. Number two - I'm not going to lie, it's nice to feel important.</div>

Records Christmas Party<a href="http://www.milkrecords.com.au/artists/" target="_blank">Milk! Records</a> was started a couple of years ago by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/courtneybarnettmusic" target="_blank">Courtney Barnett</a>, and has since grown to a nice young indie record label hosting the likes of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JenCloherOfficial" target="_blank">Jen Cloher</a>, <a href="http://www.milkrecords.com.au/artists/fraser-a-gorman/" target="_blank">Fraser A. Gorman</a> and Courtney herself. It must be a nice feeling to start something up and in just a few short years you can hold a Christmas party at one of Melbourne's classic live music establishments and sell it out.<br />
<br />
I recently photographed Jen Cloher when she toured with two other Australian musicians, Mia Dyson and Liz Stringer as <a href="http://store.milkrecords.com.au/album/dyson-stringer-cloher-2013-tour-ep" target="_blank">Dyson Stringer Cloher</a> (I have included photos from that gig in the below set) which was an awesome show - but tonight we were treated to what seems to be in fashion right now: playing entire albums. I'm not complaining - <a href="http://store.milkrecords.com.au/album/in-blood-memory" target="_blank">In Blood Memory</a> is a wonderful, gritty (recorded live) studio album which is a departure from her previous, more elaborate albums. It comes across beautifully live.<br />
<br />
I had not heard much of Courtney Barnett, maybe a couple of songs here and there, and I liked them. I loved her set, it's nice to know that there is still some rock in the local hipster scene.<br />
<br />
Special mention must go to Jen's idea of starting a punk band called Vomit Cock.<br />
<br />
I just wanted to say Vomit Cock.<br />

They are called Masterclass and the idea is that they have an artist who is a leader in that particular instrument conducting a sort of open tuition class for performers.<br />
<br />
First there was <a href="http://www.christiantetzlaff.com/" target="_blank">Christian Tetzlaff</a> who is a violinist and this week we had <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Bullock" target="_blank">Susan Bullock</a> - who is a soprano, who I believe is Sandra's older sister*.<br />
<br />
Both were amazing musicians in their own right and it was wonderful to see them at work. One theme that ran through both classes is even if you have the mechanics right, if you can play or sing a piece of music technically perfect (and they were just amazing to watch, don't get me wrong) - there is a level beyond recital, and that's where you live the song and play it with feeling, as if you were the one who wrote the words / music.<br />
<br />
I had to shoot pretty safe on those nights, however, there is always room to get a couple of cool shots off, see below:<br />

I have shot a few times with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/horrorsleazetrash" target="_blank">Ben John Smith</a> from <a href="http://www.horrorsleazetrash.com/" target="_blank">Horror Sleaze and Trash</a> - First was <a href="http://www.horrorsleazetrash.com/hst-girls/miss-andy-cupcake-2/" target="_blank">Cupcakes</a>, then there was <a href="http://www.horrorsleazetrash.com/hst-girls/miss-leah-hodgson/" target="_blank">that girl</a>, and then we had <a href="http://www.horrorsleazetrash.com/hst-girls/andy-cupcakes/" target="_blank">Cupcakes</a> again, and then <a href="http://www.horrorsleazetrash.com/hst-girls/miss-sharah/" target="_blank">Sharah</a>. But this one takes the cake (so far).<br />
<br />
It was a pretty shaky start, there was a little too much input from everyone in the early stages - all ideas were good but there ended up being no clear story line, which I like there to be with the HST shoots. I was also keen for this shoot to have no gore in it, just 100% creep, so once we had that sorted, it mostly fell into place.<br />
<br />
We had one SFX guy pull out about 3 days before the shoot and were lucky to be saved by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ladymercy333?fref=ts&ref=br_tf" target="_blank">Shona Leach</a>, who did an amazing job at applying the old man makeup to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AerialManxSwordSwallower" target="_blank">Aerial Manx</a>'s face. Stepping in as the young impressionable young lady who has come to dinner to meet her boyfriend's Grandad, is (Manx's actual wife-to-be) <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AlyssaWarlandModel" target="_blank">Alyssa Warland</a>. Both were stars on the day and their humor and willingness to do anything in front of the camera made this a really easy shoot.<br />
<br />
Photos!!! AND a video!<br />

But a couple of weeks ago I filmed Sylvia Dardha from <a href="http://thekytchenwytch.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">The Kytchen Wytch Collective</a> making some of her soon to be famous food.<br />
<br />
The video has finally been posted today and to say I am happy with the result is an understatement - the feeling that I have captured in this video sums up what it feels like to be part of this household.<br />
<br />
You can find The Kytchen Wytch Collective on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Kytchen-Wytch-Collective/180519421994487?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">facebook</a>, <a href="http://thekytchenwytch.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">wordpress</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/the_kytchen_wytch/" target="_blank">instagram</a><br />
<br />
Now, the video!<br />

<br />
This was their first visit to Australia and we were lucky enough to have them play two shows in Melbourne, one was on a boat (!) the other at The Tote and I saw both, but only photographed one...<br />
<br />
I drive in from my new home on Mars so missed a couple of bands, but I got there in time to see <a href="https://www.facebook.com/scotdrakula" target="_blank">ScotDrakula</a> who were great - well worth checking out if you get the chance.<br />
<br />
King Tuff were great, and the Tote was nice to be in for a change - it had all the same people, they just wern't as fucked up and annoying!<br />
<br />

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/DinosaurJr?fref=ts" target="_blank">Dinosaur Jr</a> is an American alternative rock band formed in Amherst, Massachusetts in 1984, originally called simply Dinosaur until legal issues forced a change in name.<br />
<br />
Founding members were J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph. After three albums on independent labels earned the band a reputation as one of the formative influences on American alternative rock, creative tension led to Mascis firing Barlow, who turned to Sebadoh and Folk Implosion. His replacement, Mike Johnson came aboard for four major-label albums. Murph eventually quit, with Mascis taking over drum duties on the band's albums. Dinosaur Jr. disbanded in 1997, and the original lineup reformed in 2005, releasing three albums as of 2012.<br />
<br />
----------------------end piracy--------------- <br />
<br />
My knowledge of Dinosaur Jr is fairly limited - they had a song (Get Me) on a compilation that was released in New Zealand called The Trip, it was and still is an awesome song.... fast forward to 2011 and J Mascis released a solo album called Several Shades of Why, a very gentle and mellow album - I saw J Mascis perform this at the Toff in Town last year, it was a very cool show. And then in 2012 Dinosaur Jr release I Bet on the Sky - not so mellow, but really nice big riffs and cool melodies.<br />
<br />
So it's been hot here in Melbourne, I think we're going into our 500th day above ten million degrees and it was a little bit scary walking into the Corner, but to my delight, it was quite nice. For about 10 minutes.<br />
<br />
J Mascis has a lot of amps.<br />

<br />
It's really too hot to talk about how hot it was at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GardenPartySouthbank?fref=ts" target="_blank">Garden Party</a>, but it's fitting I am blogging about it in the heat, because it was hot at the Garden Party... really really hot.<br />
<br />
It was <a href="https://www.facebook.com/henrywagons?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">Henry Wagons</a> and the Unwelcome Companies last gig for a while - they had been touring on my album cover since it's release in late 2012. As usual, it was a superb show with Henry in fine form and the well polished band were the icing on the cake (if there was icing it would have melted because there was no shade).<br />

<br />
See my best of 2011<a href="http://thelazywanker.blogspot.com.au/2011/12/top-ten.html" target="_blank"> here</a>.<br />
<br />
It's interesting looking back on this year, it started off normally but it's ended with a different mindset. I shoot bands for online publications 95% of the time. I am moving away from that and working at getting any band gigs myself (my first one this year is the Big Day Out!) there won't be any silly amounts of photos that I need to upload... I won't have to worry about who will like the processing I choose to do. I hope to bring more artistic live photos to you instead of the tack-sharp-technically-perfect photos you see on other sites. And also other deviations into the more creepy side of thing! stay tuned! OMG! GIMMENERVES!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://thelazywanker.blogspot.com.au/2012_01_01_archive.html" target="_blank"><b>January</b> </a><br />I had my first ever Bob Log III experience. He had me at 'clap your tits' so I was very keen to shoot this for the AU review. What a performer, I have seen him a couple of times since then and they were just as enjoyable... I am happy he calls Melbourne home for part of the year.<br />

I was lucky enough to get into a band and find out they were about to play in Melbourne, which is not usually how it goes. Yuck are awesome, I love these guys - I did not receive a photo pass but I took some shots on my phone and get a couple of crackers... <i>(just a side note, the Bob Log photo was also taken on my phone)</i><br />

So thanks to all the artists and management who make it easy for us to shoot them. A massive thanks to any of the artists that paid me for my skills - your love is most appreciated!mikesaidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03538512018327354963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148365158474526485.post-68010361355321423272012-11-08T19:59:00.000-08:002012-11-09T00:15:59.249-08:00Henry Wagons and the Unwelcome CompanyWhile a large amount of the other humans were out getting plastered on Cup Eve, there were a select few (about 1000) crammed into the Thornbury Theatre to witness <a href="https://www.facebook.com/wagonsmusic?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">Henry Wagons</a>' latest offering <i>Expecting Company</i>.<br />
<br />
<i>Expecting Company</i> is an EP/Mini Album that Henry recorded while on hiatus from The Wagons. I was lucky enough to be invited back to take the photos for the artwork so a follow up gig shoot was always on the cards.<br />
<br />
A couple of familiar Wagonses make up this 6 piece band which also includes 3 members from another local Melbourne band <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thenymphs" target="_blank">The Nymphs</a> who duet with Henry in leu of the original musicians who appear on the album: (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/WMosshart?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">Alison Mosshart</a> (The Kills/The Dead Weather), <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sophia.brous" target="_blank">Sophia Brous</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/gosslingmusic?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">Gossling</a>, Jen Grant and Patience Hodgson (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/thegrates?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">The Grates</a>). Standing in for Robert Forster was Brian Nankervis from Rockwiz.<br />
<br />
As usual it was an awesome performance from Henry, a true showman and all round funny motherfucker...<br />

One to do with music, the other to do with having custard sucked from my mature beard.<br />
<br />
What do you want to read about first?<br />
<br />
I thought so....<br />
<br />
It was late one night and I was fighting sleep by looking at the endless amazing pictures on Instagram* when I stumbled across an image that <a href="http://www.facebook.com/JenCloherOfficial" target="_blank">Jen Cloher</a> took while she was out scouting for locations for an upcoming video shoot. She asked me to come along and take some stills the following Saturday when a video was being made for her new single 'Mount Beauty'. It was in Warburton, or 'Warby' as the locals call it. I'm not a local but I am living in the wop wops now so I am as local as it gets. Without actually being local. Basically.<br />
<br />
We had to meet Jen at 8am so Sylvia and I decided to get a motel, and what a creepy place it was! The ideas for photos were oozing out of the walls. So hopefully we'll be back to creep it up.<br />
<br />
The shoot day was fun, but loooooooooooong... and we were only there for one of the days! and not even a full day!! After seeing the video all finished it really does put into perspective how much work goes into shooting even the smallest scene.<br />
<br />
On to the photos!<br />

Both are awesome to watch, listen to and photograph..<br />
<br />
Put Madre Brothers were their usual awesome selves, you really have to see this one remaining three piece one man band.<br />
<br />
Bob Log III... he's a one man party. Gracing the stage in his usual get-up PLUS attached balloons, the night was awesome before it had hardly begun. I do love Bob Log III, but he seems to attract a rather large amount of muters. And by munters, I mean M.U.N.T.E.R.S. Jeeeeeesus. <br />

Quote of the night, from the girl who managed to persuade (read: beg, torment and pester) all of the photographers there to take her photo "I'm like a model"<br />
<br />
<br />
wow.<br />

anyway... don't let that make you miss out on either of these performers... you may even get an unexpected laugh.<br />

I didn't know too much about them except for what I saw on the YouTubes and that all looked pretty cool. We got there in time to see the floor fill up with hipsters sitting down. Whatever posses these people to do that is beyond me. Not only are they so far up their own asses that they either don't care or don't realise that when they sit on the ground they are taking up approx two standing peoples space AND.. it's a fucking floor of a night club!<br />
<br />
EWWWWWWW CARPET AIDS!<br />
<br />
Anyway, the first band was Warren Ellis, I mean pretty lovely. A singer/guitarist and a vionlist... vionlist? vionite? yea. So I did think these guys were cool, but lost serious brownie points because I think that the hipsters sitting down <i>(refer to paragraph 1)</i> had something to do with their mellow sounds.<br />
<br />
On to MoJo Juju! a most awesome act, very worth seeing live totally. I am going to spend most my week trying to buy a double bass off ebay or similar..<br />
<br />
Anyway, this isn't a review. I'd review those carpet sitting hipsters in the face, but it's not a review.. <br />
<br />

They came through again last week, as part of the Splendour in the Grass wave of sideshows and I went along for another dose of rock n' roll goodness.... (not to photograph, but to watch!)<br />
<br />
Of course I still took some photos on my phone...<br />

<br />
The Black Seeds rolled into town in the middle of June, to promote their new album Dust and Dirt. I have seen these guys numerous times and now am lucky enough to be able to photograph them whenever they come to town...<br />
<br />
Always great to see live!<br />

<br />
We were trying to nut out some ideas for a nun shoot and the idea of a nana sort-of setting was raised. Ben said he had a place in mind, I asked him if it was nana, his reply "It's as nana as fuck". And he was right....<br />
Another shoot down for Horror Sleaze and Trash. This time with the lovely Miss Sharah, and she was a pleasure to take photos of. Asking Ben to get in the photo is like saying WALKIES to a dog (in the nicest possible way, Ben)<br />
<br />
So I'll let the photos do the talking I guess?<br />
<br />
Do photos talk?<br />
<br />
I dunno.<br />

She was releasing her single Fighting Kind (see video below) with a full band. I am trying to recall what I thought of all three acts, but I'm drawing a blank... that's not to say they were bad, I think I was just concentrating on taking photos. That hasn't happened in a while.<br />

It's like the drinking basement of a 5 star establishment... and I love it.<br />
<br />
I had shot <a href="http://thelazywanker.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/cupcakes-flickr-and-facebook.html" target="_blank">Cupcakes</a> before and we had been talking about another shoot for some time so it was nice to dust off the flash (read: freak out about not knowing how to use it) and finally get it done. I felt like MacGyver, I had a gas mask, a horse head mask and a HST t-shirt and I had to make something sexy from it.<br />
<br />
d d d d d d duh do de duh d d d d duh do DE daa (I'm sure you know how it goes... no need to thank me for planting THAT song in your heard for the rest of the day)<br />
<br />
So anyway, I had some ideas, which of course fell by the wayside. We had use of a strip club for a few hours so the setting was great.. the manager even offered to clean the hand prints off the mirrors. No chance that was going to happen...<br />
<br />

<br />
A big thanks to Cupcakes for hanging out, not wearing much and letting me take photos.<br />
Also to Serena for letting use that fucking sexy 85mm f1.2<br />
