YAY it's Electric Picnic time!
I went sailing this morning. It was for a magazine article about Tim Goodbody who is a sailor and will be competing in the next olympics. Poor me with my stressful job. Next tuesday I'm going to fly a plane. funsies.
In Electric Picnic news, I'm very excited but also scared of the whole camping thing as I haven't done it in about 10 years now (how old do I sound) used to go camping all the time at all the festivals around Europe.. been to Reading when I was 16, then also Bizarre and Hurricane festivals in Germany, Pukklepop in Holland, Wechter in Belgium and loads more... for some reason it wasn't as muddy back then.. mabye that's because they weren't in Ireland. But sure, it will be grand. I'm gonna be workin all weekend but am not going to stress myself like Oxegen. Looking forward to a chilled weekend (so at least we'll have the VIP campsite, although I don't know what difference that would make really, fingers crossed for proper loos) shooting the bands I'd like to shoot and hopefully will get in some backstagy stuff too. I hope everyone has a great time and say hello if you see me.

Eight years after Nikon’s D1 camera changed professional digital photography forever, Nikon introduce the D3 - a new digital SLR camera that is poised to once again revolutionize photography for professionals. The 12.1 effective megapixel D3 features Nikon’s new FX-format sensor, measuring 23.9 x 36mm, which is nearly identical to the size of 35mm film. With the fastest startup, shortest viewfinder blackout time of any digital SLR camera, shortest shutter lag and the capability to shoot up to 9 frames per second at full FX-format resolution, the D3 is the world’s fastest digital SLR camera in its class... read more here

Happy Friday!
what a busy week! And does anyone else feel like time is passing so fast these days? How can it already be Electric Picnic time! (one week to go!! woohoo!) and how come my diary is almost finished?? ( I have a jewish diary, meaning it finishes in around mid Sept when the Jewish new year starts- handy for school diaries!) However, since I am not in school, I need a new diary!!
Went to the press launch opening thingy of the new Urban Outfitters in Dundrum. It's a huge store so if you're around that way it's worth checking out. Thanks to Thinkhouse for the goodybag (although the only thing I'll use in it I think is the vodka. Does anyone want: A porcelain money bank; 15 sheets of wrapping paper; 2 orange bird shaped candles; a neon green cage with a plastic singing bird- it actually sings when you put batteries) Corina got a mini fan you plug into your computer with usb which could be kinda useful.
Here are a few shots of one of the hottest models around (Jessica Simpson look-a-like) Sarah Kavanagh. Pls note, these shots have not been touched up. She is actually that perfect.

The Kinetiks
My internet has been down all weekend (crysies) as a self confessed internet/blog addict, I found it quite hard to cope and just ended up grumpy on the couch watching Xfactor and crying a billion times when people didn't make it. (and also when they did make it.) On Sunday Did a photoshoot with the Kinetiks which was fun, what lovely bunch of guys. Check out their tunes on their myspace. Also, if you are heading to Cois Farraige Festival, do check them out on the Saturday! I shall be there for the weekend working. funsies! Here are a few quick snaps from the shoot, will post more when I have a proper look through the shots.

yesterday
Was doing pics for Wrangler's THIS IS WANTED in Dundrum yesterday and then headed back into town to meet up with Una for some after work bevvies. Headed to FL for a few and randomly saw Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood just outside. As I was coming straight from work I had my camera so I managed to grab a few snaps. Corina and Dee then joined us in Dorans to check out the awesome Stagger Lee. Support Sweet Jane were cool too.
