Sisters of the Black Moon

This little collective of goodness has blown me away!

Alexandra Valenti is one of my fav photogs...through her blog I was directed to the Sisters of the Moon blog... and ended up tumbling into a blog surfing rabbit hole... as you do!

Song of the Day | Middle East

Quite a dark and hauntingly beautiful tune for today!
Another slice of heavenly music that I was directed to a while ago from my beautiful feathered fwend of the south...
Their EP is fantastic though I have to say i really need to be in the mood to listen to it the whole way through... this is def an EP for a late night after a few yoints! Though this song is getting a fair crack on triple J in recent months and the harmonies are exceptional, the balance of the male and female vocalists is stunning and ever so incredibly cute!
Kids from the country now how to make real music so it seems as these band of muso's are from Townsville! Happy listening kids!

Birds Flying High...

You know how I feel...
Nina Simone is a legend and her gorgeous poetic lyrics come to mind when I see this pic...
Happy Friday kids!

Tin Pan Orange

I saw these amazing artists a few weeks ago supporting Mamma Kin at the Loft... such an awesome gig. Emily had me completely mesmorised with her astoundingly beautiful presence, she's one of those artists that I could not take my eyes off! Her voice is so lovely and the music these guys produce is simply lovely! take a listen to the clip below, pretty cool vid... I like it, hope you enjoy!

Underwater love

Trent Mitchell is a local GC boy who is blessed with an amazing ability to capture moments from a perspective that thrills the heck out of my retina's!
His love is waves, clearly a surfer who digs the shit outta mother natures wonderous and gigantic bath!
The colour and saturation of his images are soooo incredible! I love the work he does with film, the digi shots are awesome as well but I would seriously give my left tit for his talents with film!
Plus not to mention he has some great taste, one of the quotes on his website is from one of my fav books, Johnathon Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach... "perfect speed....is being there!"
His gift with a camera, film or digi, is not to be missed check it out kids...

Hidden Talents

Emilie is an English Teacher... I think she should be a full time artist!

check her huge Flikr stream here you will not be disappointed I promise!
her love for polaroid was rediscovered only a few years ago... for most of us polaroids are entwined with memories from our childhood, like Emilie, however she became drawn to explore the wonders of instant film again. Thank god she did or we may never have seen images like the ones below!!!






It was though Emilie's stream that I stumbled across the emulsion lift technique...
this completely intrigues and excites me to the point that I want to reshuffle some budget priorities and buy me a polaroid cam just to try this...

The above emulsion lifts are by Abbey Wuthrich and Graham Tait respectively...
oooo its just makes me wanna get my hands on som 669 film a cam and start making things!!!
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Nirrimi Hakanson

This young lady is not only cute as a button but also an incredibly talented photographer!
I love her work and completely got lost down the rabbit hole while enjoying her Flikr stream when I should have been working today!!!
Based in Melbourne (a place I'd REALLY like to be about now!!) she's a freelance fashion photographer who isn't even able to get into a club or pub as she's only 17yrs old...GENIUS!
The first 2 pics below would have to be my favs... such great light and colour and I love how she's captured the mid air frame so clearly and those cream and pink tones throughout look amazing!
Her portfolio website can be seen here but I must say her Flikr is much more comprehensive!
