Come Together (day two) @ Luna Park, Sydney (08/06/08)
Hearted ages ago
With explosive live acts like Gyroscope and The Hot Lies gracing the bill, Come Together on Sunday was certainly a hard-hitting day for rockers.

I've been photographing bands for four years, three years for Faster Louder. Wow, I feel so old.
I try to go to a gig every weekend, but it's a lot of work seeing as I still live on the South Coast of NSW. But I still do it for your admiration and praise that lasts 1 or 2 days.
I'm usually the shortest photographer with a ridiculous haircut and wearing jeans so tight that you wonder how I manage to keep myself from passing out. On occassions I wear one of my Faster Louder t-shirts and hand out cards and stickers. Otherwise I'm in a Motion City Soundtrack or Horsell Common tee.
Now that you know what I look like there's no excuse to not say hi.
Gear:
Canon 40D SLR
Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L
Canon 50mm f/1.8
Canon 18-55mm f/3.0-5.6
Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS
Canon 430EX Speedlite
Oh yeah, I like Canon if you couldn't tell.
Photography, screenwriting, politics, web development, designing cheesy corporate logos for websites, etc
