I’m home, lost my job, and incurably ill / You think this is easy, realism / I’ve got a girl out there, I suppose / I think she’s dancing / Feel like Dan Dare lies down / I think she’s dancing, what do I know? I am a D.J., I am what I play / Can’t turn around no, can’t turn around, no, oh, ooh / I am a D.J., I am what I play / Can’t turn around no, can’t turn around, no, oh no I am a D.J., I am what I play / I got believers (kiss-kiss) / Believing me, oh lyrics from "I am the DJ" by David Bowie

Recently we did a test shoot for two really funny and crazy guys who also happen to make music together, Jase and Tom after their manager aeris saw my stuff on RedBubble and decided I am shit hot at what I do. (I’m working on the modesty bit, I swear.) Anyway they really really didn’t want to do a photo shoot in a smelly, public, and damp mens’ toilet so naturally I nagged at them until they relented. Then the first thing their manager said upon viewing this image was “That one’s for RedBubble!” So here it is.
‘Lady sing the blues so well / As if she mean it / As if it’s hell down here / In the smoke-filled world / Where the jokes are cold / They don’t laugh at jokes / They laugh at tragedies.’
UK Born Jan Johnston also known as “The First Lady Of Trance” one of the most recognizable voices in dance music today. She’s worked with artists such as BT, Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, and the list goes on. This shoot was done on request as I’ve always absolutely loved her music and really wanted to shoot a portrait of her. Shot on location in Melbourne it was a heavily windy day as you can see by her hair. I put a heavy focus on getting the angles exactly right… maybe even too much as I only had this one frame out of about 100. I was extremely grateful to get this image though…

This was taken at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles. It is one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. This is probably the most different photo I have submitted in a long time. I spend most of my photographing time in the mountains 300 miles from my home. I live less than an hour from L.A. but I rarely venture there. There was an art festival going on and it sounded fun so I went.
This graffiti abstract reminded me of drum and bass music. Why? I see a musical note, and the colors some how remind me of the cold and calculated computer-driven sounds of this kind of music. I would have to say that it is some dark and jazzy mix of music, just by the looks of it. It also reminds me of a liquid-pop dancer. Thank you. Found near Ebisu, Tokyo.

It’s a long way to the top … rock n roll alleyway to the stars. ACDC lane houses the infamous Cherry Bar. A home away from home for many musicians and rock n roll lovers.

An idea which I based on a photo of Maureen, a friend of me. / I actually wanted to make a realistic portrait, but then found this – more free, cartoonish and a little strange approach – good enough to work out… Unfortunately, many many details can’t be seen on this image format… Maybe I’ll try to resize it smaller and sharpen it more so it might be better viewed… For a better view, see this link: http://abstract-idiot.deviantart.com/art/Melodie-street-125654962 0,05 & 0,3 Fineliner on Canson Dessin ‘C’ A Grain, 224g/m2, 270×360mm paper.

His father works some days for fourteen hours / And you can bet he barely makes a dollar / His mother goes to scrub the floor for many / And you’d best believe she hardly gets a penny / Living just enough, just enough for the city…yeah His sister’s black but she is sho ‘nuff pretty / Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy / To walk to school she’s got to get up early / Her clothes are old but never are they dirty / Living just enough, just enough for the city…um hum Her brother’s smart he’s got more sense than many / His patience’s long but soon he won’t have any / To find a job is like a haystack needle / Cause where he lives they don’t use colored people / Living just enough, just enough for the city… / Living just enough… / For the city…ooh,ooh / [repeat several times] His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty / He spends his love walking the streets of New York City / He’s almost dead from breathing on air pollution / He tried to vote but to him there’s no solution / Living just enough, just enough for the city…yeah, yeah, yeah! I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow / And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow / This place is cruel no where could be much colder / If we don’t change the world will soon be over / Living just enough, just enough for the city!!!! La, la, la, la, la, la, / Da Ba Da Da Da Da Da Da / Da Da Da Da Da Da / Da Ba Da Da Da Da Da Da Da
