Malin from Calaisa signing their new album with my photees for a fan..
Arctic Monkeys Oxegen 06
you can view my full galleries on the Oxegen website
I'm not too happy with my shots this year.. the main stage seemed to be much higher for some reason and the mics were put so far back (esp for the Arctic Monkeys where yerman did not come forward even once) Also, the rain fogged up my lens and blurred up a lot of the shots.
Wolfmother - totally rockin'!
This was after we were kicked out of the photopit during The Who. Amazing crowd.
The Strokes - extremely crappy shots for this but it was totally pissing
The Kooks
Kaisers
Hard-Fi
Franz Ferdinand - I enjoyed them much more than I thought I would
Arctic Monkeys - the most disapointing set in my opinion. I love love love their tunes but I just didn't feel the vibe. Maybe because I was so fucking cold. All us photographers were trying to escape from the wind by hiding behind the stage.. Didn't work really. I just remember shivering and my knees shaking
FLEA. I know this photee isn't too exciting but he's looking straight at me. rock!
I'm ashamed. How could I forget to mention that I saw my truest love Maximo Park (for the 5th time in the space of one year!!!)
Through out the weekend I shot: Wolfmother (brilliant!!), Arctic Monkeys, Hard Fi, Damian Marley, Franz Ferdinand, Divine Comedy, Guillemots, Kaiser Chiefs, Orson, Magic Numbers, Reamonn, The Kooks, The Charlatans, The Strokes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Who Kasabian and Maximo Park. There could be more..
after shooting Oxegen all weeknd. But I got to see my true love Tim Burges (of the Charlatans) so it's all good. I also snapped my 2nd true love Rae (from Reamonn) backstage which TOTALLY made my day.
Here is a sneak preview of Anthony who is also another of my true loves.
Must sleep NOW . But 7 billion photees yet to come... Check out the oxegen site to see my photos in the next couple of days.
Good nite.
It's been a long day... after my morning job in town, I got home to my studio and had to photograph 14 actor kids who came along to my studio with their parents. Didn't have time to eat all day, or buy some wellies for Oxegen as rumours have it it's gonna piss tmrw.
I'll get soaked then. But I'm shooting Maximo Park so WHO CARES ! ! !!
See ya'll down the front.
listening to The Arctic Monkeys - Love Machine. (love that tune)
While in Germany
I saw a woman wearing a dress made out of footballs
I bought official FIFA World Cup cereal. When you pour milk over the cereal, it becomes lots of little footballs
I saw football shaped pastries in the bakery
I saw World Cup flipflops

I received stickers of the German team players with my favourite chocolate bar Hanuta
