ok, so plan B of the blog updates is to not focus too much on capturing every party that goes by the wayside, but to just post about what's happening at any point in time.

at the moment i'm kind of tracking my life in about 20 different places, so anyone really interested can catch up with me on myspace, facebook, twitter, flickr, inthemix, resident adviser, samesame, tranzfusion, and clubsguide.

Another Peppermint party at the Inkerman Hotel. pretty good parties with good music that happen to get a little crazy as everyone is someone's friend :)

Autumn Gray

Went to the Corner Hotel to see Matt's band Autumn Gray perform. They sounded bloody good on the big sound system.

Akasha Festival

Originally uploaded by Scootie.

Vanessa was working on the Wilderness Society booth at the Akasha festival out near Sale, so I decided to go along and have a bit of fun. Since I couldn't be arsed with the whole tent thing (and I don't own one at the moment) I hired a camper from Wickedcampers and i'm damn glad I did. Not only is the camper (a converted crappy old van) painted in a cool design, but it's so worth a few bucks to be able to just drive up to a campsite and be all set up. I think i'll be using a camper for festivals from now on.

new gear

I've gotten some new gear lately to play with. A Lensbaby I bought off phunkdust, which lets you twist the front element about to create focus tunnel effects. A Holga lens for the Canon, a dodgy plastic lens with basic focus control, creating some low quality images that can be fun. And also a whole bunch of flash gear to use multiple off-camera flashguns to create better lighting for portraits and other work, it will take a whle to master but I think it will provide a lot more options for portrait work especially.

Went on a flickrwalk with a bunch of flickrites near the exhibition buildings, hanging out with Vanessa has made me want to photograph trees more.

St Kilda Festival

Originally uploaded by Scootie.

We decided we'd hit up the St Kilda festival, but didn't really see much, just hung out a bit at one of the bars and happened to run into a few friends while we were there.
