I'm going to start preparing for my tour of the states (or cali) with you.
First is a camera, this is probably the biggest decision - Canon G11 or Lumix DMC TZ7 - the major/only difference is the price. The Canon looks sexier and is probably easier to manipluate the functions, but the Lumix is coming across as the better camera - and the better price. Check out the comparison here.
The next is research, so I am subscribing to this podcast - This American Life. Which is pretty awesome.
I'm working every day till forever so I will post something more substantial then.

Tonight I went and checked out the Tom Ford film - A Single Man - that I told you about. Some people walked away judging the film. I walked away and couldn't belive it had ended. The film, was beautiful, the cinemetorgraphy, the set design, the costume design, eveything about this film was done beautifully. I couldn't watch away simply because of the aesthics. You could tell this film was done by a designer, but that was nothing to judge it on.
Then there was the story itself, with out letting up too much, it ended how the main character wanted it to end the only catch is you've got to think about it before you understand that this is a good ending.It's not the daft ending that is suggested at the start. Superficially it was a tradgey - it took aimee to make me see this was a happy ending to a beautiful film. A story that has been tol before, but you couldn't tell that from watching it. Colin Firth & Julianne Moore totally redefined for me.
After the movie we went to the IVY with Vanessa and Hope and some other people. Ran into heaps of random people I know, ended up finding Hope and dancing my arse off to Naughty by Nature. When I say dancing my arse off we were right behind them, right behind them, we were pretty much sharing sweat. And as if that wasn't enough SALT N PEPPER emerged dancing in the pool infront of the hip hop legends, and for the final song they welcomed out KID CUDI and who else but BUSTA RHYMES to the stage an all in version of OPP/naughty by nature awesome and hip hop legeneds mash up. Again right in front of me - did I mention the sweat -, I wasn't ashamed to act like a fan girl, so I did.. I tried calling you - I got onto that spansish chick, pretty sure thats the wrong number?
Off course Aimee and I got in another massive fight, we worked it out, then when we did what we always do and fought. Another fight. This is it I think. This is the limit where she can't actually listen and hear me at the same time, I'm not that important to her.
I just walked home freaking out myself and Andy cause I was crying to him on the phone. If that's not a reminder that I'm a chick here is another: sent Aimee about four messages since I got home explaining why I couldn't handle her yelling at me any more. No answer. I feel like the chick in a relationship that the other person doesn't want a bar of. ARGH.
So I guess here I am in life, with nothing to hold me back except work to move overseas. I'm totally open to packing up and leaving this place (btw Bob is always coming with me :) that cool?) when you want me to.
In more positive light, this video gives no cred to how cool tonight was. I wish you were there sweating with me.

I wish I had these earlier, but they are taken with my lomo color camera. Only some of them turned out how I wanted but I kind of like the contrast of the normal colored ones to the yellow and red ones. The camera is completely stuffed now but stay tuned for some of peats ridge.

When I was sixteen I listened to punk.
But it weren't anything like some of the garagey punk that is coming out now, I've been listening to Eddy Current Suppression Ring's album 'Primary Colors' and I love it. I think it's going to be my next vinyl buy. They are this garage band from Melbourne who are making really low fi kind of punk. Same for Sydney band Halal, How are you? who I'm going to go and see on Wednesday 24th at Spectrum, on oxofrd street. I'm so excited. So this is the music that I really like listening to at the moment. I'm not sure you'll be into it but I'd mos def drag you along to this gig.
AND then when I thought I couldn't get excited about SXSW enough, Death are talking and performing! They are kind of along this same influence as the bands before, a punk band from detroit, although they exsisted BEFORE punk was punk. They're demo tape from 1974 was completely lost until it was released only a month ago. Their only release in 1976 traded for like $800 it was only one song. The music is amazing, to think that they were punk before punk was punk is incredible.
Enjoy some new tunes.

Today I had a test shoot with Cybele Malinowski, she is this amazing chick, a little bit crazy but oh so awesome. She wanted to shoot this crazy kalideoscope idea that I think is going to turn out pretty incredible. I can't wait to share those pics. We also shot some pretty crazy natural light with crazy hair, and 60s esk sunnies. Also can't wait to share. Apparently the Banjo & Matilda shots are up on the website (but I can't find them?!)
I also came up with a pretty awesome idea for a shoot coming up. I think I'm going to use Rebecca Victoria. All I need to build is a massive, ginormous, magazine tower... I think I need to talk to an engineer or architect. First maybe I should go back to the shoot with Clemency and Sophy Jones. First I need a new camera. Nikon FM?
Next week I'm shooting with Alex Weltlinger in an epic 14 hour shoot! Meanwhile MusicNSW stuff keeps piling up and I think I'm falling behind big time. Which means for now I've really really got to go. Thanks for ringing the other day, it really made my day even it it weren't on my valentines day. xxx
p.s Bob liks the decks heaps.

Today I had my final meeting to get some serious sponsorship dosh for the tour. They said we were ticking alot of boxes, they have to consult their budget. Good?
I also walked at the David Jones media launch which worked out to be the easiest show ever. Two looks, great make up, cool hair. In and out. Nothing much to report on.
Met a cool guy who was doing the hair, he was an artist and had a really great nuttin' can't get me down attitude, and a refreshing outlook on the whole fashion world - which wasn't too new but great to hear cool people still exsist. His name is Like and he is also a photographer and he produces alot of shoots. Including with a guy named Darren McDonald. I know I haven't done a photographer of the week so this will have to do for now. Cold After Midnight. This is my favorite shot, Luke the guy I met at the DJ's show did the hair.
I'm so exhausted though, I didn't sleep much last night worrying about the whole asking for dosh. so I'm crashing before 10pm tonight - hopefully.
Can't wait to talk and will update you more tomorrow night.
