Darkness is at its finest before the Dawn



The City of Seasons ( plastic edition)

I took a trip to Melbourne to watch So Cal legends Social Distortion. In between, drinking beers, meeting Kerry King from slayer, meeting hughsey, seeing a chick get run over and talking to a rambling lunatic in the pub for an hour I took some pictures. BOLTS!

The River City (plastic edition)

I recently went up to Brisbane for the day and took my holga along for the ride. Lately shooting film seems less effort then digital. Maybe its the surprise at the end? or maybe im just a lazy sack that doesnt want to edit a seemingly endless folder of RAW files.? Apart from dodging hipster uni students sipping starbucks while updating their status as they dodge and weave through the mall, I took some photos. enjoi.

...Desolation makes for a better life



Crack The Sky


Life is like a black and white photograph, there's black, there's white, and lots of shades in between

So its been raining for like the past 2 months, one afternoon it cleared up for long enough for me to use up a roll of BW film in my Praktica manual SLR.



This is NOT a print taken by my hipstamatic for I Phone

I bought an old Fujica Automagic heap of shit at an op shop a while ago for $20 and im glad i found this old thing hidden behind an AM radio and a sandwich press that was caked with mould and what looked like baked beans. Im not rocket scientist but im pretty sure the "Auto Focus" feature on the 1976 camera is broken. I like it.

1970 Praktica

A while back i acquired a 1970 Praktica SLR manual Film camera. It sat on my shelf gathering dust until about 2 weeks ago when i decided to dust the old boy off and chuck in a roll of kodak BW400CN. Now im not one of those self righteous " film is the beez kneez, im cool cause i only shoot on film" dudes, in fact this is the first time ive used film in a manual camera for about 9 years...and it shows. enjoy

Mikey Battled with this tre flip down the 6 at varsity for about an hour. This is a non make but the dude got hella close.
