Been awhile since I updated this journal

A little bit has happened in my life since the last post in Jul

- Recently my father died, we found out on the day of my birthday celebration...it was a remarkable service, thankfully my family has helped me a great deal through this loss

- My partner and I have decided (given the family events) that we shall move to Perth, Western Australia in the New Year - sort of a symbolic 'clean slate' start to the rest of my life

- I had my first outdoor promo shoot with a local band 'The Amenta' & have since then had one of the images taken for their tour flyer

- Another pop show down, this time it was Katy Perry @ Enmore Theatre...unfortunately I was knocked back for Lady Gaga, The Pussycat Dolls, Pink & Beyonce due to no agency access

- And today (21/9/09) I logon to find an extra 1,000 messages to sift through as I've received DD #2 for another shot from the Slipknot gig last year, this time for the crowd shot


Big thanks to ^PorcelainPoet for nominating the image, to be nominated by someone who has created some of the amazing dark portrait work below is an honour & a nice stroke for my ego haha
Check out some of her work!

Nic Bezzina aka needs our help, he recently lost EVERY image taken spanning across his 6 year career due to the failure of BOTH his raid harddrives & now needs $5k to pay off a Data Recovery bill.

I've made my small but worthy donation recently the image link below was the source of my desire to pursue to Music Photography biz

[link] to the image of his which started it all for me + is one of the top rated concert photos here on dA

Australian Idol host & keen photographer Andrew G has also jumped on the charity bandwagon by offering free portrait sessions with him for a select number of folk who choose to donate $100+ to the cause, details can be seen on his website here [link]

Though he is not so active within the deviantart community anymore, he is still an artist who has inspired many & now is seeking help, even if it's just a dollar!

You can make your donations via this link [link] - he is offering free prints etc determined on the size of the donation you make.

I've added a larger file to my gallery & submitted as a print as I noticed I had 3 print requests.

Please keep in mind that while all buying options are available, the file uploaded was only 12x8" - I'm not sure how well dA prints look when enlarged.

Also I had a recent comment on the deviation saying that they cannot fav the image, can someone check to see if this is not an option for them either...not sure how/why it would disappear
