Today really is the end of an era.

Myspace Australia is set to officially close its doors at the end of the month - January 31^st 2011 to be precise.

Until then, staff are sending out those final emails, tidying up those desks and easing the photos and posters off… Read full post »

Many many months ago, I talked about a secret project that I’d started to work on and put together with a few partners in crime. I’m pleased to say that the wheels are in motion and that part one, is well and truly under way. It’s… Read full post »

 
48 hours ago I commenced by first official photoshoot with a band (or in this case a solo artist called Eugene Clifford featured above).

He's the driving force behind indie band BEARHAWK.

It was a great shoot to be involved with, unexpected and inspiring. He’s such a vibrant char… Read full post »

I've always enjoyed photography.

Cameras, video cameras and even projectors were a staple of my childhood - my Dad was always a keen photographer, he took some truly stunning black and white shots of my Mum during the early years of their marriage, way back in the 1970s - some… Read full post »

It was just our a month ago, that I was in the icy realm of the UK celebrating my father’s birthday, wedding and bringing in New Years Eve with him. Three wonderful moments in anyone’s life, sitting alongside one another in perfect unison on December 31st 2009

Already… Read full post »

So 5 days and 1,926 kilometers later, my whirlwind holiday with my partner in crime, the one and only Yummy Yasmin, has sadly come to an end - boooo!. (This is why I went down)

But there's much to celebrate, in fact, so much happened in such a… Read full post »

I was talking to a friend today, who described in sympathetic detail, the bubble she finds herself trapped in, floating in relative comfort, yet having to painfully peer out in the great expansive world which surrounds it - a limitless realm of possibilities, filled with her hopes & drea… Read full post »

We're supposed to be living in a technological age where everything is getting smaller, faster, cheaper, leaner, effortlessly intuitive and (thanks to corporations wanting to appease consumers) greener.

In fact I'm of the opinion that any moment now, Apple will launch a brand new iPhone, o… Read full post »

Pornography.

Probably one of the most divisive and well-known words in the entire English language. For some, it's akin to inviting the devil over for tea, to others it can be an art-form , even inspirational and to anyone that has used the Internet, it's a multi-billion dollar industry.… Read full post »

There is a brand new frontier, through which media agencies across the world are starting to report the news. It occurred to me yesterday just how quickly this change has occured, when I visited this article on the only reliable and trustworthy news source worldwide the BBC.

I'm sorry in advance for not updating this blog as often as I have in recent times. It's not that I've been overly busy, I just apply the same logic to my updates as meals - only eat when you're hungry, only post when you have something interesting to say.… Read full post »

I personally found the 90's a boring era in the grand-scheme of things, whilst some of the most genuine and innovative bands emerged during that time (Jane's Addiction for one, who coincidentally I'm going to see live next month!) I don't think, by and large, that the 90's was a… Read full post »

 So the inevitable day has finally happened - GeoCities is officially shutting its doors and going offline. This is the same site that was bought by Yahoo back in 1999 for a staggering $3,500,700,000 billion US dollars and at the time was home 1.1 million users. As a modern day comparison… Read full post »

 This popped into my head recently....

"If society held a mirror to itself, its reflection would be the Internet."

The longer I entertained that metaphor, the more I genuinely believe it to be the case. Current estimates put the global Internet population (regardless of speed or connec… Read full post »

In the commercial sense, music, books and films, which deal with the dark or more sinister side of human nature (and as a result, are often surrounded in a wave of controversy) are always largely sucessful. They are after all, catering to an audience, who craves them just as much, as… Read full post »

 

It's official, I don't like the weekends. Actually, let me rephrase that, I don't look forward to them with quite as much eager anticipation and fervor when they involve trawling around the supermarket getting groceries - which as it happens, is what 95% of the western world does every… Read full post »

NOBODY EVER TELLS....

 There was no warning, but the alarm bells are already ringing. The circumstances and situations of the past couple of days, have only hastened the urgency with which I write this post. Whilst the world is holding its breath waiting for Obama, I'm encouraged to let…

AUSTRALIA’S PERCEPTION PROBLEM

I want to preface this blog by saying that I feel extremely privileged and lucky to live in such a uniquely diverse country. I’m surrounded by different cultures, languages and backgrounds, all of which combine to form the rich tapestry of the Australia pub… Read full post »
