So I've had a pretty busy couple of days lately...
First off, had my trial at that photography shop. Seriously, if you enjoy cameras, you have to try working at a shop like that, even once. So. Much. Gear. Everywhere, there were boxes and boxes of DSLR bodies in the store rooms. Shelves upon shelves of lenses. Cases of high-range gear. Tripods. Monopods. Lighting. Straps. Everything. Apparently the amazement wears off once you work there long enough, but I was picking up anything I could find when I had a spare moment. Much fun.
Hopefully I'll get the job there, just waiting on a call back...
Tomorrow I'm heading out to a suburban festival too see a friend perform and take some pictures. Looking forward to that, it's got me wanting to go to more public events of the sort, maybe build up experience photographing those sort of events and move into photojournalism? Who knows. Hopefully there are some good shots to be had.
Also the weather is getting warmer. Not sure if this is entirely a good thing, I'm a big fan of winter. But it's got me wanting to hit the gym. If only I had that amount of motivation.
If you're in Sydney there is a Fringe Comedy Festival going on at the moment. I saw a gig the other day with some friends, it was okaaaay. But I'm sure there are some awesome acts.
Also! Photoshop CS5.1 is amazing.
Also, little disappointed in Blink-182's new album. It's very AvA so far. But hey, all bands mature. Just continuing a "meh" streak of music. First Arctic Monkeys, then RHCP and now Blink too... shame.

Shooting concerts...!
It's been a long time since I've updated my deviant but I've been busy in the meantime... so I have excuses ok?! :P
I've been accepted as a contributor for the music website FasterLouder.com! It's a pretty cool website so you should check it out, especially if you live in Australia and like to keep up with the music scene!
It's not a paying job or even a major position... but it's a useful one! Basically FasterLouder organise to have their contributors (journalists and photographers) cover gigs around major cities and in exchange for free publicity, the contributors get in free! Free concerts! Free experience! Free portfolio stuff! Score!
Forums and Franz Ferdinand
I haven't updated my deviant in awhile, but I really need to. I've got a bunch of photos to upload, I just haven't had the time or motivation to perfect before I put them up.
Yesterday I got up super early in the morning because I got the opportunity to photograph a business forum at the Marriot hotel in Sydney. Specifically the Jakarta Investment and Business Forum 2011. Exciting stuff! Photographing an official event! AND free food! Good times!
So with my Yashica flash on and an "Organiser" badge around my neck, I spent most of the day weaving through crowds of businessmen, crouching in and out of aisles of seats and running forward to ge
Great ideas in the weirdest places...
You know those moments where you come up with some stroke of inspiration and you spend the rest of the time wondering "Why didn't I think of that sooner?"
Yeah well that happened to me the other day. I was hanging out with my friend Ayumi, just walking round the city and Sydney Uni taking pictures when I realised how awesome the set-ups are in those fashion boutique stores. Props, seating, lighting, atmosphere... If you wanted to do a modelling shoot, it's all there! Why not use it instead of trying to organise all that stuff yourself?
So apparently they aren't too thrilled with the idea of me just bringing a friend in and photographing awa
Bleh.
Haven't photographed anything in ages. Dunno why, just haven't picked up my camera. Maybe it's a bit of an artistic slump?
The other day I spent a few hours talking about street photography and techniques to some people in a camera shop in Sydney City, which was pretty cool. Heck I even tried out some new lenses. But now, I can only think about how much better my photos would be using a 35mm Prime Nikkor. Gear envy. BUT I need money first and it's hard to come by that without a job, so I applied at said camera store. Apparently I'll find out if I got the part within the next couple days. :)
Also, struggling to get things organised in my lif
