randomness

Woah, these are from Laneway Festival in Auckland 2010 (I think?!), but I feel like they could have been taken any time up to 15 years before that. I took them on a really hilarious red camera I got for 10c at a garage sale the day before, and these are the only photographs on the whole roll that came out.

Can we all just take a moment to enjoy the amazing pigeon feather headgear PJ was rocking at the Mercury Prize last night! It is quite simply, amazing.

I'm not normally bothered about these awards but as her album is one of my albums of the year, I double salute her. You should get it not because it won the award, but because I am telling you, it is amazing. Even the unnecessary bugle.

Here is a gig poster I designed for Ivy of Luckless. If you are in Auckland you should go!

Extinct.

Last night was the final gig for one of my favourite and lovely London bands, Brontosaurus Chorus.

Not only were the Chorus a fine indie pop band, but they are also great friends of mine and a band I was once upon a time lucky enough to travel around the country with, photographing them playing live and eating at services on the road. These were genuinely some of my favourite times and I feel so lucky to have been a part of such a great circle of wonderful and talented people as found in the Chorus. They were so accomedating and made me feel like part of the band, despite the fact that I was just some random with a camera along for the ride.

The gig last night was a fitting end, a great group of people gathered to see them off while they played a mix of their hits and we all danced and sang along and got a bit emotional at the end.

I'm really going to miss these guys.
