I was lucky enough to see James Blake perform at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music’s Verbrugghen Hall. In a backup photographer mode I was there to capture some stills of the intimate show. It was a memorable night and Blake’s performance was truly something special. Here are some stripped back posters I created from the close-up shots of Blake. There are some more photos of the show to check out after the jump.
I went and saw Macklemore & Ryan Lewis perform to an extremely pumped crowd at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre in Newtown last Friday. Supported by back up vocalists (Ray Dalton and Wanz) and their trumpet player the duo busted out an energetic show which included a double performance of their hit “Thrift Shop”.
“Can’t Hold Us”, “Same Love” and “Ten Thousand Hours” were other performance highlights for the night. All in all it was a great show and I snapped a few shots of the gig with more photos to check out after the jump.
Side Note: Photos were edited with VSCO new 03 film pack for Lightroom. Check it out here.

I am absolutely captivated by Ann Hamilton’s art installation at the Park Avenue Armory in NY. I really wish I was there to have seen it in person. Nonetheless I have this great video by Paul Octavious who visited the exhibit during it’s run from December 5 2012 to January 6 2013.
The “the event of a thread” exhibit features large swings for people to ride on, which in turn effect the movement of a giant curtain arrangement in the centre of the space. At the end of each day an opera singer comes out to the balcony and sings as the pigeons are released from their wooden cages to fly around. Poetry and works by famous authors are read out by actors and broadcast to radios in paper bags littered around the installation.
Watching the video Octavious has made it is interesting to observe how the people occupy and make use of the space Hamilton has created. Looks like it would have been a very special experience.

Known as the man who invented the talking steel guitar, Pete Drake or the “King of the Talking Steel Guitar” is seen here performing “Forever” his hit record in the movie “Second Fiddle to a Steel Guitar” in 1966. I had no idea that this sound went back to 1966 with Pete Drake. Imagine hearing the sounds he made from his talking steel guitar for the first time. Nowadays you would take that sound for granted but back then it would have been something else.

Twitter has unveiled it’s own social video app in the form of Vine. After using the app over the past few days, I have found the user experience pretty enjoyable and the interface easy to navigate.
Vine app is pretty much like Instagram but with six second videos as your canvas. Capturing video is quite simple, just touch the screen and hold your finger there for however long you want to record your take for to fill the six seconds.
The app can share your video to Facebook but just as an image on the timeline, your friends will have to click on it to view the video. Scrolling through the feed in the app is quite the experience when videos posted from people you follow automatically play with sound.
You can like and comment on each Vine and add the obligatory #hashtag. While some might feel limited by the six second duration limit I think it’s the right move. You don’t want long videos on your feed, especially with mobile data downloads when you are on the go.
Overall I think Vine has definitely got legs and it’s a pretty good entry into the social video app arena.
The only thing I would say is that for a social video app I couldn’t find an official promo video for the app which is strange. In the meanwhile check out the hands-on demo by the guys from The Verge above.
