Professional sports photographer.
Unproduced screenwriter.
Aspiring human being.
A very small part of me feels awesome about my TV pilot script about a dim-witted, egotistical businessman turn over-reaching political tyrant, hell bent on halting progress.

A few life events have caused me to reflect on my very first client from my Band Manager days.

I wrote something based on my emotional journey the week he passed, but I realised what the true theme was, so now it’s time for a re-write.

When this movie came out, I thought to myself “Wow, that looks so gay”

I can’t believe how stupid I was as a teenager for
a/ describing something as “gay” in a derogatory sense and
b/ not realising how brilliant this movie is.

The screenwriter in my can’t stop watching it.

I first saw #Shihad in 2002. Since then I have seen the band perform a total of 75 times.
They’re putting an end to a 37-year career in March.

It was a special moment on Friday to photograph Shihad’s singer, Jon Toogood on his solo tour. This man shaped my life.

I’ve spent 7 years shooting through green netting. The concept of uploading an edited photo seems wild to me, but here we are.

I wish this photo was better.

I find #Photography and #Screenwriting to be similar, in that greatness is lightning in a bottle, but we should never stop aspiring for it.

We should accept that not everything is going to be perfect, but with practise the misfires become less common.

I used to be a co-owner of a sizeable #Canon #Camera server over on Discord.
(I left due to one other owner being incredibly toxic.)

If anyone is into #Photography and is looking for advice on new camera gear specifically related to Canon, feel free to slide into my DMs.

This image continually breaks my heart.

Cloudland Dance Hall was demolished in the middle of the night in 1982, as a power move from the Bjelke-Peterson government to put a stop to Youth Counter Culture.

A beautiful building destroyed by a conservative tyrant, driven by spite.

It’s been over 3 years since I’ve last photographed live music.

This Friday, I’m doing #photography for the lead singer of my favourite band.
A band I have seen 80+ times, but have never photographed them.

The only thing I like about Threads is the ability to write longer posts.

Apparently this is a built-in aspect of their algorithm.

Howdy y’all

I like to believe I’m a #Screenwriter, based in Brisbane, Australia.
But it seems my best skill is #Photography because that’s what I get paid to do.

It’s honestly weird reading through social media and not seeing hate.
