I am back to Dublin tmrw (yay) and very annoyed I missed the CODES gig in Whelans tonight. (It is still weird for me calling these guys Codes as I still think of them as LOST.) Anyway, wish I could've made it to it, Ian just texted and said it was amazing and I shall be reading all about it on Una's blog tmrw. I have decided that I definitely have to check out more gigs.. haven't been to nearly as many gigs as I used to go to. I've been crazy busy but that's not really an excuse not to check out good music. I remember when me Una and Burco used to go to about 3 gigs a week mostly in The Hub where me and Burco took photos for the website and Una would write the review to accompany it. The section of the site was called The Word. It was cool. and much funsies was had by us checking out loads of amazing (and not so amazing) local bands plus a few international bands too like THE BEAT, Daara J and The AM. I actually almost forgot how amazing The AM are (*runs upstairs to look for their album)
On a completely different note, I am redesigning my website at the moment and you should check it out soon and tell me what you think. And speaking of my website, I came across this site, where some person wrote an analysis about my site. It was weird reading about my website in an academic sort of way. But interesting all the same.

Just clearing out my computer because it's dying :-( and found one of the only videos I ever recorded with my little snapshot camera which is now broken because some girl dropped it one night when we asked her to take a photee of us (stupid bitch). And speaking of dropping stuff, today is not my day. I was just having a cuppa soup while on the phone infront of my laptop. What was the smart move I did next? I dropped the phone into the soup which exploded everywhere all over my laptop. Then I got the hairdryer to try and dry it all off and it blew up. Jay-sus.

I am addicted to this. It is so f***ing good.

Noticed this 1st Option model at one of the shoots the other day. Love her big features.







Make Up by LA Make Up Academy

Did a photoshoot with the stunning Corina Grant the other day. She is so beautiful. And is actually the nicest person I have ever met. We were so lucky with the weather and just caught the sun as it was going down. The light was unreal..

Irish Hairdressing Championships 2007

behind the scenes at the Irish Hairdressing Championships 2007 at the Burlington Hotel on Sunday. It was madness. I've never been surrounded by so many stylish haircuts in my life. I think I inhaled so much hairspray to last me a lifetime. Well done to Marjorie who created this amazing look "She's all t'Hat!"

The working the camera award definitely goes to Catriona who managed to strike a pose for me each time looking HAWT! I forgot to mention that this award went to Ruth last time at the last B.Young show.

Arcade Fire

first two no flash. TWO!! The no flash part isn't a problem. I try to avoid flash at gigs anyway. But only 2 songs??? It's hard enough with three songs. When there are no restrictions at all, I like to just watch the first song of a band before even taking any photees. Watch the lights. Watch the way they move on stage. At restricted gigs you can't really do that.. however at 3 songs usually, you have about 15 mins.. At two songs it feels like 15 seconds. If you stay one second longer, you might actually be killed by a bouncer. seriously. This always reminds me of Oxegen a few years ago when ASH (one of my fave bands of all time) let all the press stay for the whole set. It was truly amazing and I got the best.shots.ever. No band has done it since I don't think.. Well here are some photees I managed to take in 15 seconds last night at The Olympia. Crowd was going crazy. singing every word. great vibe. I love Arcade Fire. Even though they only let me shoot them for 2 songs....

lunar eclipse

Here are a few photees of the lunar eclipse which took place on Saturday nite at around 22.44

le weekend

Friday nite headed to the Music Centre to check out Michael Meyer's set which was another fantastic gig by Remedy! Really enjoyed it, and loved the way Meyer was so energetic on stage, which was completely different to any other dj I've seen. I also loved the way he kept looking into the camera, DJs are usually too cool for this.
Went to the Irish Blog Awards last nite in the Alexander Hotel which was.. mm the only word to describe it is.... weird. Great nite anyway. Well done to all the nominees and winners. Anyway, I'm not gonna bother blogging about it because every single blog will do so by tmrw. I am sure Una will post about it tmrw (and so I can steel her photees then) Today being my only day off this week, it was spent just chillin out, reading the papers, watching Corrie omnibus and Skymovies, and eating roast chicken. yumsies.
