New Camera
I recently purchased a new digital, swapping out my old Canon 400D for a Fujifilm X-T1. Since there’s a nearly nine-year difference between the cameras, the long overdue change is massive. And now that I have a camera system that it lighter and a little more compact, I can take more and more photos. Whether…

Ink Remix
It’s near the end of my time off and I finally managed to check out Ink Remix. Featuring artists from Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China. I was expecting to see some calligraphy, which were the subject of video installations by Hung Keung and Pend Hung-Chih. Two pieces a really stood out for me. First…

Sydney
Last weekend I went to Sydney to hold a table for the ACT Comic Meet at the Manly Zine Fair. I went a day early to check out the Friends of Leon Gallery to check out the Justyna Kisielewicz exhibition that just opened. However, I didn’t get any photos, because there was an official photoshoot…

Brisbane
I recently spent time up in and around Brisbane catching up with friends and family. It was a crazy week of camping, mosquitos, idyllic island life, mad long cycling commutes, kayaki, protesting about kayaki, and dragging a kayak through low tide mangrove mud. It was also art galleries, decent food, obscenely warm days, board game…

Brick To Canvas
So a little earlier in the week, I read about the Brick To Canvas show happening at the Aarwun Gallery in Gold Creek. I missed the opening, but wanted to see what was hanging on the walls, particularly of former Canberra street artist E.L.K. (or Luke Cornish if you know him in person, I suppose).…

Vivid
As things turned out for my trip to Sydney for two zines fairs, I also managed to catch the opening night of Vivid. Much like Enlighten, but on a different scale, projectors and other installations shone in the overcast night. It was something I would have spent more time on exploring the city, but there…

Head 2 Head Zine Fairs
Last year, I went to two zine fairs in one day. The Other Worlds Zine Fair was organised in protest against one of the sponsors (being Transfield [Services/Holdings] who also manage the Nauru and Manus Island detention centres) backing the MCA, and thus the zine fair. I had to see both, because it is pointless…

Tocumwal Lane Party
So I heard about a group of graffiti painters were heading into the centre of the city to paint up one of the alleyways. Naturally I had to check it out, and test a new camera lens I bought. I kind of caught things in the middle of it all being painted up. I’m going…

Enlighten 2015
So last night, I caught up a friend down at Enlighten. We checked out the Night Noodle Markets, where we picked up some pork and chicken on sticks, dumplings and gyoza. The plan was to get some waffles on a stick, but there was a wait and the sun was setting. Overall, this year’s projects…
