But these go to eleven…
Some favourites from 2010.
It's been an eventful year, the lead up to my exhibition was pretty crazy, going through 15 years work was quite an experience, and the exhibition itself was a significant landmark to me, it was a very strange feeling walking into the Powerhouse on opening night and seeing the entire building full of my photos. Apologies to anyone who saw my 'speech' I still have no idea what I said.. Thanks so much to everyone who came and saw the show!
Rock and Roll at The Brisbane Powerhouse.
After the show I had every intention of adopting a less is more attitude to shooting, to be a bit more selective, and not let myself get quite as snowed under with hundreds, if not thousands of images to deal with every week. It worked, a bit, though somehow my plan of 2010 being a quieter year still ended up with me shooting 181 bands at 66 shows and 5 festivals at about 20 different venues. Sigh..

In 2010 my work was published in Timeoff, Jmag, Rolling Stone, The Courier Mail, The Australian and Yen Magazine to name a few, The State Library of Queensland now has 8 of my photos in it's permanent collection, as do the 30+ awesome individuals who bought prints from my exhibition so far. I licensed photos to one feature film and one TV series, and shot promotional photos for Texas Tea and Halfway, with my Gin Club, Seja, We All Want To, An Horse and Robert Forster photos getting a decent run through the year too.
This set of 25 photos were hard to chose, I picked an arbitrary number, and just went with the ones taken in 2010 that I though were successful as photos, most were published somewhere, though a few are personal favourites that never made it to print.
If you're interested in publishing any, or buying prints just email me here? Thanks!
Thanks also of course to all the bands, editors, punters, promoters,venues, publicists, managers and publications that make this weird and wonderful job possible, a fab 2011 to you all. Rock on, and so on.

It's been just over a year now since the end of my exhibition at The Powerhouse, prints have been selling pretty regularly since the show, still, there are a few framed photos remaining, so I'm having a print sale! I'd love to see them all out in the world.
Quite a few photos sold multiple times, and some were sold unframed to be sent overseas, the total so far is 32 36 photos sold from an exhibition of 50. Not too shabby. Thanks again to The Brisbane Powerhouse for a great show, and huge thanks to everyone who bought a print, you rule : )
The photos in this gallery are all that remains of the framed photos, they are all 30x20 inch prints in classy black frames, behind glass. There's a set of photos of them hanging at The Powerhouse here to give you some idea their size.
The remaining photos include:
KISS
Daft Punk
John Spencer Blues Explosion
The Drones
Elliot Smith
U2
DZ
At The Drive In

Roll Credits – The End of Rock and Roll
Well the exhibition is all over, it's been such a great experience, I've learned so much over the six months leading up to the show. Sales were way beyond my expectations, thanks so much to everyone who bought a picture, I can do another show now!
Huge thanks to The Brisbane Powerhouse for presenting the exhibition, extra thanks to Jody Haines, the BPH Visual Arts Coordinator, who was awesome to work with. Thanks to Streets for the printing, and to Hayden Andrews at Brendale Custom Framing, for doing such a quality job on the frames.
Big thanks to Jo, Craig and Kate for help and hints on PR/ Marketing, and to Aaron Sammut for his brilliant poster design.
Thanks so much to Sil, Justin, Kel, Alex, Laila, Vanessa and Kate for their help and input editing the final 500 photos down to 50, that would have been impossible on my own...
Thanks to Timeoff for their support over the years, and the opportunity to shoot so many amazing shows, and thanks to The Courier Mail, Jmag, Whothehell, 4000, Our Brisbane, and everyone else who gave the show some press.
Thanks finally to everyone who took the time to check out the exhibition, I really appreciate it, it's been great to see people enjoying the work.
There are still photos left over of course, if you're interested just let me know? I'd love for them all to find a home. There's a gallery below of all the photos in the show, just email me here if one catches your eye? Thanks!

The Exhibition opens on Tuesday the 2nd of March, from 6-9pm and runs until April the 5th 2010. It features my 50 favourite photos from 15 years of music photography. The framed prints will be for sale, I'm still working out the price, but they will be affordable. There are 50 large 30x20 inch prints on heavy photo paper, really classy black frames with white matte. They look really great, if I do say so myself..
I'm updating this pretty frequently, and you can see some info on the show at The Brisbane Powerhouse site here.
See you there!
