MONDAYS ARE MY DAY OFF MAN. I DO NOTHING. WELL, I DO STUFF, BUT I TAKE MY SWEET TIME GOING ABOUT IT. ANYWAYS, MY POINT IS, ON MONDAYS I DON’T GO SEARCHING FOR PEOPLE. NONETHELESS, I WOULD BE A FOOL NOT TO KEEP MY CAMERA ON ME JUST IN CASE A PHOTO SETS ITSELF UP ON A PLATE FOR ME, AS WAS THE CASE WITH LIINAA OUTSIDE OF MANCHESTER PRESS. THE MOMENT SHE LEANED UP AGAINST THAT WALL, MY WHOLE...

I CAN’T CLAIM TO KNOW ALEX TOO WELL, BUT ON THE FEW OCCASIONS I’VE HUNG OUT WITH HIM, THE GUY’S MADE A REAL BIG IMPRESSION. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP A LOOK OUT FOR HIS 8-PIECE REGGAE ENSEMBLE ECHO DRAMA. SAW THOSE GUYS JAMMING AT THE EVELYN ON SUNDAY NIGHT. IT WAS SICK.

SOME DUDE IN THE BIBLE ONCE SAID “THE LORD GIVETH AND THE LORD TAKETH AWAY”. AND INDEED YESTERDAY, HE GIVETHED GENEROUSLY IN THE FORM OF A SUCCESSFUL OPENING OF MY MAIN MAN ARTHUR’S “LET ME OUT” ART EXHIBITION AT THE CONVENT. SADLY HOWEVER, HE HAS TAKETHED TOO, FOR MY GOOD FRIEND JACK HAS NOW LEFT THE FRIENDLY SOIL OF AUSTRALIA FOR HALF A YEARS WORTH OF CRUISING...

I SPENT A GOOD PORTION OF THE LAST TWO DAYS AT THE ABBOTSFORD CONVENT. DURING THIS PERIOD, IT RAINED ALOT, LET ME TELL YOU. IF THIS WAS TO BE REPRESENTED VISUALLY IN THE FORM OF A PIE CHART, IMAGINE A FAIRLY SIZEABLE SLICE, WITH AN EVER SO SLIGHTLY SLICE WITHIN IT. THE WHOLE PIE CHART EXPLANATION IS PROBABLY NOT NECESSARY, I’M JUST TRYING TO BE CONSIDERATE. ANYWAYS, AS THIS PHOTO SHOWS, THIS...

CONGRATULATIONS TO MICHAEL AND NICK FROM KINGS OF CARNABY ON THEIR SUCCESSFUL BRUNSWICK STREET STORE OPENING LAST NIGHT. IT’S FUNNY I FIRST MET THESE GUYS WHEN I SAW MICHAEL CHILLING IN THEIR SHOP, AND ASKED HIM FOR HIS PORTRAIT. HE WAS ALL LIKE ‘NAH MAN, I DON’T DO PICTURES’. I FOUND THIS SO VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND, BUT ACCEPTED IT NONETHELESS, AND GAVE HIM MY CARD WITH...

I WAS A LITTLE BIT FRUSTRATED WHEN AMANDA DIDN’T WANT TO SHOW HER FACE IN THE PHOTO. IT’S NOT LIKE YOU CAN READ SOMEONE’S CHARACTER BY LOOKING AT THEIR ELBOWS. BUT NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, I’M JUST GRATEFUL PEOPLE LET ME TAKE THEIR PHOTO IN THE FIRST PLACE, SO WHETHER OR NOT THEY DECIDE TO COVER THEIR FACE IS SOMETHING I HAVE NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT.

TODAY’S MY DAY OFF YO. I CAN SIT ON ASS AND TRY AND FEEL GREAT ABOUT IT. THAT BEING SAID THOUGH, THE WEATHER WAS SO GLORIOUS THAT I COULDN’T HELP BUT DO A QUICK CIRCUIT AROUND THE CITY IN SEARCH OF FRIENDLINESS AND SUCH. I CAME ACROSS OBSA WAITING FOR HIS TRAM, AND HE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO ALMOST MISS HIS RIDE BY LETTING ME TAKE HIS PORTRAIT.

TRUTH BE TOLD, I DON’T LIKE THIS PHOTO AT ALL MAN. THE LIGHT’S ALL BAD AND IT’S WAY TOO MESSY. THIS PHOTO SUCKS! BUT THAT’S BESIDE THE POINT, BECAUSE AMATAN IS AN INTERESTING DUDE, AND I DON’T WANT TO UNDERMINE THAT. SO YEAH, I WAS HEADING DOWN TO WORK WHEN THIS DUDE SHOUTS AT ME “HEY YOU! TAKE MY PICTURE”, AND I WAS ALL LIKE “OK”. AFTER THAT,...

WAS HEADING TOWARDS WORK WHEN I FOUND DAVID WORKING AT A CAFE SOMEWHERE ALONG GERTRUDE STREET (I FORGET BOTH NAME AND LOCATION). THOUGHT HE LOOKED CHILLED, SO I TOLD HIM. HE WENT INSIDE TO DROP OFF SOME COFFEE MUGS, THEN CAME BACK OUT AND TOLD ME TO HURRY UP. UNDERSTANDABLE.

IT WAS INDEED A GLORIOUSLY SUNNY AFTERNOON, AND I FOUND NICOLE LOOKING FRIENDLY AT A STREET CROSSING ON NICHOLSON STREET.

A FEW WEEKS AGO I PASSED BY THE PRAHRAN SKATEPARK, AND WAS DISAPPOINTED TO FIND IT TOTALLY DESERTED. THERE WERE A COUPLE GUYS CHILLING THIS TIME AROUND, AND CHARLIE STOPPED RIGHT NEXT TO WHERE I WAS WATCHING.

I HEADED DOWN TO CHAPEL STREET FOR AN EARLY AFTERNOON WALK, WHERE I FOUND ANNA WORKING AT AMERICAN APPAREL.

YO JOE LOOKS LIKE HE COULD BE A CHARACTER FROM STREETS OF RAGE. A LITTLE PART OF ME WAS EXPECTING TO GET UPPERCUTTED IF I ASKED FOR HIS PHOTO, BUT TURNS OUT HE WAS REAL FRIENDLY.

WHAT AN EXCELLENT DUDE.WHEN I ASKED HIS NAME HE GRUMBLED SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF ‘RAT’. PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I’M WRONG.

OUT OF ALL THE PHOTOGRAPHERS I’VE MET DURING MY TIME IN MELBOURNE, MAGGIE IS HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED. I HAD THE PLEASURE OF SPENDING SOME TIME IN HER STUDIO THIS AFTERNOON, WHERE I ALSO GOT TO MEET LEONARD THE KITTEN, AND MUNCH ON SOME TASTY SOBA NOODLES MADE BY HER BOYFRIEND JULIAN. ANYWAYS, CHECK OUT SOME OF HER WORK, HER FASHION PHOTOS ARE STUNNING!

APOLOGIES TO DUANE FOR TAKING MY SWEET TIME GETTING HIS PHOTO UP. THE LAST 2 DAYS I’VE BEEN FLOATING BACK AND FORTH AT THE OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE PRODUCTIVITY SPECTRUM: COMPLETE BUSYNESS AND UNASHAMED LAZINESS.

POPPED INTO SHEILA VINTAGE ON BRUNSWICK STREET TO FIND EMMA, WHO I’VE BEEN TRYING TO TRACK DOWN FOR AGES TO GET A SHOT OF. I TOOK THE SHOT AND GOT OUT OF THERE AS QUICK AS I COULD, SO AS TO PREVENT MYSELF FROM SEEING A WHOLE LOAD OF COOL SHIT I’D WANT TO BUY. YES.

RUNE WAS LOOKING SLIGHTLY WORSE FOR WEAR OUTSIDE OF JUDDY ROLLER IN COLLINGWOOD AFTER WHAT I ASSUME MUST HAVE BEEN A HEAVY NIGHT.

THE LAST TIME I SAW LAURENN WAS JUST UNDER 9 MONTHS AGO, FOR THE EXACT SAME PURPOSE OF TAKING HER PORTRAIT. THE LATTER I TOOK OUTSIDE OF THE VEGIE BAR, AND ALONG WITH PORTRAITS OF EMMET AND ANOTHER UNNAMED SUBJECT, I REMEMBER IT BEING ONE OF THOSE SHOTS THAT I REALLY ENJOYED THE LOOK OF, AND PROBABLY SUBCONSCIOUSLY CONTRIBUTED TOWARDS THE EVENTUAL FORMAT AND STYLE OF THIS PROJECT, WHICH I BEGAN...

BEHOLD, MY DEAR FRIENDS, THE STICK-BEARING EXCELLENCE OF GORDON. I WAS DIGGING HIS GANDALF VIBES FROM AFAR AS I WAS HEADING DOWN JOHNSTON STREET, AND WONDERED TO MYSELF WHETHER HE WOULD LET ME TAKE HIS PHOTO, OR IF THIS WAS INDEED TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE (I CAN’T STRESS HOW MANY FUNKY OLD MEN HAVE TOLD ME TO BEAT IT). ONCE HE SAW ME APPRECIATING HIM, HE BUSTED OUT THIS BIG SMILE AND STOPPED...

SO THE MAIN REASON FOR GETTING MY BUNS DOWN TO NORTH MELBOURNE SO EARLY WAS TO SHOW DOM SOME PHOTOS I’D TAKE A COUPLE WEEKS BACK FOR HIS UPCOMING ALBUM RELEASE. MY MAN JACK GOT ON BOARD AS WELL, AND HE’S PUT TOGETHER THIS AWESOME TEASER VIDEO FOR ONE OF THE TRACKS. CHECK OUT THE VIMEO LINK HERE. ANYWAYS, KNOWING THAT WITH DOM THE (CAR) DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN, I CAUGHT A RIDE WITH HIM DOWN...

POPPED DOWN TO NORTH MELBOURNE THIS MORNING FOR A QUICK CATCH UP WITH MY BUDS NICKY AND DOM. I FOUND NICKY IN HER BACKYARD WORKING DOING SOME BASE-COATING FOR HER JEWELLERY LINE. IF YOU HAVEN’T CHECKED HER SITE OUT ALREADY, I SUGGEST YOU DO SO NOW. HER MERCHANDISE IS FRESSSSHHH (MAKE SURE YOU READ ‘FRESH’ IN A SLIGHTLY HIGH-PITCHED VOICE FOR MAXIMUM EFFECT).
