Last night at the Bridge
This is a picture collage I created a few minutes ago from shots of Kevin Borich that I took last night at the Bridge Hotel in Sydney's Rozelle. It is a small intimate venue with walls that could fill a few volumes of stories that have occurred here. I arrived there at 8pm and got home at 2 am this morning!!! I started going there thinking that I wouldn't stay long, but once I get in the vibe, I love what I do and am always wanting to maximise my opportunities while I have them. It was quite rewarding from a fulfillment side to have some Australian music industry legends recognise who I was, and even remembered my name! and then said your pictures were really outstanding. That is very nice.
The concert last night didn't have many patrons, but it was done at short notice to raise funds for people who have suffered from addiction. The bands, the venue....and even the photographer, gave of their facilities and time for free to contribute to the cause. Playing at the venue was Ganggajang, Dragon, Kevin Borich, and The fabulous Brewster Brothers. I am including a song from the Brewster Brothers from You Tube. These Brothers themselves were the creators of the Angels. A well known Australian band of the 80's.
I took the picture above, and it is about to be printed up and used for the concert posters. I started talking to a few die hard fans of the Brewsters and what a great bunch of people they are. It is interesting to find kindred spirits on the journey. It was a good night. Tonight is a little more subdued, as I have a wedding tomorrow. Another opportunity to work on my craft. I love it. Much more to write, and more pictures to show soon. I promise.

Cool blog here.
Just wondering if your blog has been instrumental in bringing you photographic work?

Hmmm, good question. I am not aware of any direct work that has sprung from the blog, but I do know that industry people have looked here. I guess what it does do is give some perspective of what I do mixed with a little of what I think. I do suspect also, that there are clients who don't want to know what I think at all, and might be turned off by my thoughts and musings. I am contemplating another blog just for more images, or updating my website with new images. What are your thoughts!
I just wanted to add that I really love the Kevin Borich presentation that you have posted in this section of your blog.
For me, you have captured him really well. The images emit a playful, fun and enjoyable vibe. The overall effect is one that draws the viewer to the subject (Kevin).
Well done!
