A band that lately have been more like a troupe of mad scientists, pouring over their cauldrons of EP magic; The Go Roll Your Bones re-materialise on stage to headline this week's 'up late with Jim Shirlaw' hopefully spreading the love of some exquisite well-rehearsed studio time! In support, the joyous acoustic giant 'Boy Lightning' as well as the silver screen delight of Daniel Corboy's gripping Western Sydney insight 'Westland' accompanied later in the evening with a DJ set by the film director himself aka Penrith Oil.

BOY LIGHTNING

'WESTLAND' a short film by Daniel Corboy

PENRITH OIL (DJ set)

Domeyko/Gonzalez; Diana F+ on the road from Melbourne to Sydney

It seems the Diana F+ is a great summer camera in the way it enhances light conditions; despite it's crappy plastic lens and design they're able to always brings out really vivid colour with good strong direct sunlight applied. Below are a whole bunch of shots l took on an unflattering afternoon in the car driving Domeyko/Gonzalez home after their EP launch; these shots charter the drive from central Melbourne and off on the way to Sydney as the natural light fades. In the past overcast light in shots on the camera aren't generally too interesting but l feel some of these created great abstract atmospheric feeling; suppose being the combination of overcast conditions as well as disappearing sunlight. A gallery for analogue watermarks and my new found tendency to go for double-exposure :)

Not going to take any more 120 film roles till l decide how l really want to use this camera; it's capabilities aren't great but it would be good to devote a specific series to this format instead of just buying one or two roles every few weeks then using them all up in a couple of hours wherever l happen to be.. but l guess they're suppose to be treated this way?

Diana F+

Diana F+ / sketches for Scholarship series

Post of experiments with Lomo photography since l got my Diana F+ last Christmas (09) from then-girlfriend. I've never done any photography before so for one just needed to get a feel of analogue photography; lots of fun playing with the ambiguity of these plastic lens/cheap camera image types, got to try disposable cameras as well.

Anyway just trying to source out ideas for where to go next with a new series of art work.. project name currently undecided, something revolving around the idea of scholarship..

Mostly atmospheric and architecture studies below, largely mixed between Sydney CBD, Newport, Palm Beach.
