Ah yes, finally did some backlog.
Worked on these last week after being dormant on a HDD for yonks. I also, believe it or not, dropped some rolls of film off from more than a year ago of some flowers I shot. I have not done any this year, shameful really. But it now seems that my film scanner has gone belly up, the images come out completely dsitored, will need to look into that today actually.
Here are White Llight Parade shot in the corridor of The Dublin Castle late April.

Die! Die! Die! arrived last week in London and did a few shows, the first one at Jamm; in short the gig was a nightmare, it was on near 4 a.m. Unreal how big a mistake that was by the promotor, and hard to believe there were still 60 odd people watching them. the show itself was alrite, the sound was too loud and distorted. I did not get back home until 6 in the morning, been a while since I have done that. So the next day I just sat around and worked on some of the shots.
Offset Festival was on last weekend and on Sunday I gather with the boys at their place in Camden and we drive down to Hainault Forest where the site is, and it is a really cool small set up, friendly atmosphere and good choices of some nice food available. we hang about, chat, drink, hang some more till it is showtime. Shoot Andrew while he waits and hangs about behind the stage, and then the first half of the set on stage, where I get some pleasing shots. Later on in between the barriers a few more decent ones. I like the one of Andrew hurdling back on to the stage, it was about 2 meters high.
The show is good and they get a good response, as a matter of fact one of the best ones of the day, which brings me to the fact that Die! Die! Die! should have been third on the bill and not fifth. Next year then perhaps…..
I shot S.C.U.M, The Horrors and Clinic as well.
I am adding pix tonight and over the weekend.
The Kiss @ Offset
Then last Tuesday at an Artrocker night at Buffalo Bar the band played again, and they played great. I shot them for 20 minutes then stood next to soundman James Goldsmith and listened to the rest of their set, and it just sounded bliss. Killer sound, everything was clear, even Andrew’s vocals, I could actually hear what he was singing. One of my fave shows no doubt.

Was for three days in Belgium, mostly arround Zele and Lokeren and the final day spent some time in Brussels too. Jochen Maes, and old pal of mine was getting married to his lovely missus Nathalie and guess who was shooting the wedding…….. I had a great day, the people (Belgians know how to enjoy themselves) entertainment,food and drink was top notch, a day to remember no doubt. The next day we spent lazing and grazing, and on Sunday we hung about in Brussels, nice city.
A few pix:
During my travels I managed to catch a few couples for The Kiss as well:
Then I shot Pens for Ponytail, they are on a American tour as we speak. I thought the girls were easy going, no airs at all, the pix were done rather quick. Hopefully I catch them live at the end of Sept.
Martin Tomlinson of Selfish Cunt was someone I always wanted to take a portrait of. Ponytail Magazine gave me the oppetunity to do so, sadly Selfish Cunt is on hold (Under Review as Martin called it…) and he is having his fingers in various musical pies right now.
Martin was an extreme pleasure to deal with, a gentleman, and totally the opposite from the Selfish Cunt persona he displays on stage, he tells me he is much calmer now, oh sure 
I took some shots at his flat in Primrose Hill in the beginning and also when we came back and sandwiched them with a pleasing result and the rose he sniffed was just outside Regents Park.
Terri and I left for three days to Holland again as well, and I snagged a couple on the platform, my first Dutch Kiss picture.

I am doing post production on a shoot called INFERNO, I shall post some results soon.
