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!

This was the view from Red Hill in Brisbane at about 12.30. Usually this spot has great city views, today you couldn't see a single building in the city. So odd.

Heineken Steals © Photos. To use without using…

Posted on August 6, 2008

Myself and a bunch of other photographers had a lot of images stolen by www.heinekenmusic.ie , they basically used our © work without permission for their commercial gain, on a site to promote a huge music festival (which by the way does about AU$3 million in tickets)..

The photos were taken down after being up for about 3 weeks, after complaints were lodged. Heineken now claims that their use of the photos on the site, did not actually involve "any use, in legal terms" Love that mumbo jumbo. They also claim that using our work for 90% of the site's useful life leading up to the festival was "use of a temporary nature only and would not form the basis of any copyright claim" They will how ever "be willing to make a small payment for the inconvenience caused in having to write to us" WTF

The saga continues.
