Thanks to Cassette Number Nine, 1AM, Epaulette, and Serato!
Hi all,
OK! You’re getting a double shot today with the photos because I need to clear the camera’s memory card! ;)
Anyway, last Thursday night after I got done snapping the Mampi Swift & MC IC3 gig, I stumbled into Cassette #9 to spend time with some dear friends. Well, little did I know that their Thursday Night Tea Party was in full swing, and was celebrating it’s second birthday!
Above are my best shots from the night.
Kind regards
Last Thursday night Drum N Bass legends, Mampi Swift & MC IC3, tore it up over at Studio.
I was fortunate enough to gain Media Access to the gig, thanks to a DJ/Promoter friend of mine, Michael Mikee Earley. And, with that access, I did my best to bring you some ill-ass photos from the night.
I’d like to personally thank Michael, and all of the staff over at Studio, for hosting a fine show and allowing me unlimited access.
For those of you that have not visited Studio yet, I highly recommend it. The staff were very helpful and courteous. And, much to my surprise, the security staff were not the usual bullyboys one typically encounters at Auckland clubs these days.
Kind regards
Here they are, peeps – my best shots from Thursday night’s Dâm Funk @ Fu Bar gig!
I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
Holla!
Hi all,
Just a little taste from the Dâm Funk @ Fu Bar gig which ended a few hours ago. All I’ll say about it right now is that Dâm put on one hell of a show.
Please be on the lookout for more photos from the gig shortly!
Kind regards
Here they are – my best shots from the Special Session @ Old Skate Factory gig.
Enjoy!
Hi all,
Here are my best shots from The History of Dance: Detroit Techno gig that jumped off at Cassette #9 last Saturday night.
I didn’t get there until really late that night so a lot of the crowd had ebbed by then. Also, I was really tired, so the photos aren’t up to my usual standards nor are there as many as I normally present for your viewing pleasure. However, I do hope you enjoy them regardless! ;)
Kind regards
Aight, people! You know the drill anyway. However, in case you don’t, here are my best shots from the DJ Zinc @ Ink/Coherent gig.
It was another crazy, off-the-hook night and me and my crew had massive fun!
I think I finally made it home about 9:30am the next morning, a little worse for wear, but with a huge smile on my face! ;)
Kind regards
Aight, peeps! Just a little taste from the Special Session gig, which was held at the Old Skate Factory on K’rd.
The gig was about as underground as it gets. And, because of that, quite a few people there did not want their photo taken. It was all good though as I always respect the wishes of the person, and if they don’t want to be photographed, I apologize for bothering them and move on to the next subject.
Little tired now so I’m going to sleep. Keep it locked though!
Aight, peeps! Just a few preview shots from 'The History of Dance: Detroit Techno' gig that jumped off at Cassette #9 last night.
Not much to say as I’m tired, tired, tired and need to go to bed!
Alright, people! Massive fun was had last night at Ink/Coherent with DJ Zinc performing a killer set for us all and me and my crew getting up all sorts of shenanigans. ;)
Just as a little taste of what went down, above are a few photos for your viewing pleasure.
Please be on the lookout for more snaps from the night to follow!
Kind regards
Hi all,
Here they are - my best shots from Riva Starr @ Be Club taken on the night of April 30th.
It was a crazy night and Riva and the rest of the DJs really got us all going!
There are so many stories I could tell you about what went down that night. However, I wont because I’d rather not embarrass anyone, including myself. ;)
Kind regards
Hi all,
Here are my best shoots from last week’s Hit It and Quit It Revue which was held at Khuja Lounge.
Kind regards
Hi all,
Here are my best shots from Thursday Tea Party @ Cassette #9.
Not much to say about this one as I have a serious backlog at the moment. So I don’t feel like writing much. Also, the photos are about as ‘straight’ as you’ll ever see from me as I don’t even have time to do my usual post-processing magic on them.
Kind regards
Hi all,
These are just a bunch of dance club photos I had laying around that I thought I’d share with you all.
Kind regards
Hi all,
Last Wednesday night/Thursday morning, after the Lord Bishop gig, I decided to roam the dance clubs of Central Auckland looking for interesting people and things to photograph.
I very much enjoy dance club photography because, generally, people are at their most relaxed in such environments. They’re just there to have a good time and to forget their troubles and dance, if I may be so bold as to quote Bob Marley. ;)
Speaking of relaxed, the two young women featured above, totally unprompted by me of course, decided to perform for my camera’s benefit upon seeing me snapping away at this one club - I don’t recall the name - I happened to walk into.
The results, I feel, are spectacular!
Now, I didn’t catch their names – I wasn’t really interested in them as people, just as photographic subjects - and I have no idea if either of them was a professionally trained dancer. However, I did very much enjoy their performance as it was very free, uninhibited and sensual without being overtly sexual. (I’m not some middle aged pervert with a camera going around stalking young women.)
Kind regards
