  • May – III

    May – III

    I took a lot of photos this month, especially towards the end. There’s been a few duds. I went to Sydney for the long weekend, mostly to be in a bus, in a hotel room, catching up with some people, and flicking out some street photos. Also Vivid was on. Vivid only had a few…

    May – II

    A second post for May, on account that I’m trying not to blow out the load time for my posts. I’ve got a project or two on the back burner, simmering away and getting attention when I have a bit of spare time. With winter setting in, there’s a tight time for some golden hour…

    May – I

    I’m spinning in a chair waiting for new work. I bought two flashes, with one I have yet to play with. But flashes kind of require people and there hasn’t been a lot of that this month yet. I’ll be in Sydney soon, so I’ll dump all those shots in a separate post.

  • Helio Press 10th Anniversary

    Helio Press 10th Anniversary

    Megalo had a show opening last week to celebrate Helio Press’ tenth anniversary, with Helio Press: Ten Trips Around The Sun. Helio Press is a small Melbourne-based studio focused around Risograph printing. Risograph is a machine whose parents might be a photocopier and a screen printing table. Original work is scanned in, but instead of…

  • Weekend in Melbourne

    Weekend in Melbourne

    I was invited some months ago to Nat’s birthday bash which happened a couple of weeks ago (as of writing this) in Melbourne. Nat’s been a friend for a long time, but nowadays, she lives in Hobart. I took the opportunity to pick up a new lens and walk around town with it, while ticking…

  • March – Remainders

    March – Remainders

    Another month nearly down. A busy month of Enlighten, a week of balloon launches (or aspirational launches), finishing a certificate course, gear testing, trying to see an eclipse and an aurora, an outdoor music event, annoying people with a flash and other things which mostly don’t add up to their own story in a sense.…

  • March – Balloon Spectacular

    March – Balloon Spectacular

    With the weather getting ever-so-slightly colder, balloon enthusiasts come out around the lakeside to attempt at a launch of balloons, some of a particular shape or size. All week, people rock up in the pre-dawn on the lawns in front of the National Library to see the balloons inflate, and if the conditions are right,…

  • February – Roundup

    February – Roundup

    The later half of February was starting and now desperately trying to finish up a certification course, realising there was a minor fuckup that happened last year, and looking for a new job in design. It also had a test photoshoot on the rooftop pool of friends’ apartment block. I don’t get much chance to…

  • February – Melbourne

    February – Melbourne

    So I had a long weekend to take a short break from the tedium of my job, go to Melbourne and table at the Festival of the Photocopier. Going to FOTP has become an annual trip, where I’ve been tabling other people’s zines as part of Canberra Zine Emporium, along with my own. My friend…
