From the Vault 01: Polaroid Love!

Apparently Polaroid film is in limited production. Is this some kind of marketing ploy to make the almost 4 dollar a click price seem reasonable? Am i going to profit when i sell my multi-packs down the line to the uneducated online bidder. I doubt it... It expires, plus i wouldn't give the stuff away.

It's like gold to me! 1 click, 2 shakes, 3 minutes, 4 dollars spent - JH

A young Analogue Loving Canadian Fella started work at the shop the other month.. I asked him to write an introductory for himself for the Blog.. So it goes...

"Descibed by my friends as just a deranged hippy, I'm just that dude who show's up... Thinks "this place is F@#k'n Awesome.... i'm staying'. " And then as soon as any questions appear concerning plans or the future or issues of general trife I'm usually just' like "TAH SON!" ..... problem solved.... among other things such as; good lamps and cereal i'm a boy of simple taste who enjoys things like tearing up rope swings, two-steppin', and gettin' straight up wibbley wobbly. That being said at the best of times my memory tends to have the worst of times, and i can't just have the good times i need to remember them, even if I'm written off. So turns out there's this thing called a camera, and if you take a pinch of emulsion, a twist of light, and a bit of thought you get mo memory pie! and there i find myself; living a life worth its weight in shiny ass diamonds and making sure at the end of the day i can prove it. Crush It."

So the guy's a nutter. But has gold personality and shoots enough film to keep Kodak in Business. Check more of his talent here. -jh

Beach Hotel Up The Ante with Lyrics Born!!

“If I don’t lose my voice and my hearing, I’m not doing my job,” LB tells us. Before the show he had sat quietly in the fenced off green room tweeting about DJ Goodie spinning Chali 2na. Onstage, LB barely pauses for breath. His backing vocalist, Joyo Velarde, belts out her tunes while busting non-stop funky-ass dance moves. Lyrics Born and his live band don’t just perform, they engage the crowd. Both the keys and bass player make eye contact with me and grin... (Read More)

A day with Ms Ireland

With one glance, you know for sure, this woman has lived. Her eyes tell stories; they welcome you in whilst at the same time saying ‘back the fuck down’. These people are my favourite, they come complete with intrigue and feed you just enough to make you want more. A feeling of warmth and effortless wisdom echoes in her twisted words, making you smile and question life as you know it. With a smile that reaches from one end of the room to the next you know the woman was meant to sing. And blessed we are for she has a voice that will infect your membranes and make you want to find your own.





It was a rainy day, back in early October when she invited me to her home to drink endless cups of chai and create some photographs to promote her upcoming gigs. If you cross this woman in your journeys you are bound to laugh or cry, go check her out at the Mullum Music Festival this weekend or take a peek on here.

Rock out.
