Murph

This is Simon Murphy. I took this photo for no real reason, and I really like it.

Slowburn's last show video

The photos from this show are in the previous post. All the video is shot at a 1/100th sec, to make it look like Saving Private Ryan. Not really, but I like the fast shutter speed look. The video of 'Bongs' looks and sounds the best.

There was a good turnout to this gig, a number of people traveled from Melbourne and Sydney for it. It was sad to see Slowburn go, but it was a very fun day. They played a set that covered their entire time as a band, right from the early Top Gun songs, through to the album that was never released.

Yoko Oh No!

Yoko Oh No! used to be a three piece, now Rob Phil has joined they are a four piece, they also now they span three cities, Canberra, Queanbeyan and Bungendore. When I turned up, each member was intuitively wearing very different shirts, and really I couldn't have thought of better shirts to describe each member. Rob Phil was in Slowburn during the last year that they were around, he was also arguably they're biggest fan, both before he joined and while he was in the band. He still proudly wears his own band's shirts. Aaron wears a Propagandhi shirt most days of the week and I first met him at a Propagandhi show. Pete actually still really likes wrestling despite his age, and Danny often wears table cloths as shirts.

We did these in a forest in Queanbeyan around sunset. I should have used CTO gels on my flashes, but I didn't, which is why the skin tones vary wildly. Two 430exs, one shoot through umbrella camera left in front, one bare behind the band camera right, sun setting camera left slightly behind.
