From the Vault 02: An ode to memories...

I often wonder what happened to my memory. Have all those years of synthetic love and endless parties robbed me of any first hand recollection of my life? Are my only memories reflections of the dodgy black and white disposables or the pixelated juxtapositions poised on facebook pages; heightened moments often fabricated for the pleasure of the camera. Even besides those deborturous evenings my memories of growing up seemed like spinifex in the desert. But recently I rejoiced, for they are still there, buried discretely in the layers of distractive dialogue. Solitude has allowed them to rise again, vivid and wild, full of colour and injected with laughter. Random and without warning they grace my days in this foreign land, I'm so happy for what has been and for the mystery of what is to come.

And for all those times that seem forgotten, hail to the photograph.

Yacht Club smoked out the Northern on there Australian tour on Friday Night. They put on there usual fast paced set full of party anthems, breakbeat and top of the charts mash-ups. The place was full of a crazy partying peeps and i think everyone left with a smile from ear to ear. Not to mention a head ache from the monotonous strobe light which was seemingly any ones to operate?

Support acts were Howl and DZ. Such pleasent young men! -JH

Raekwon and his Back Catalogue

It's cool... One by one, Wu Tang Clan affiliates seem drift through Byron in Between Battling through the major cities of Australia. Although only a small amount of peeps turned up to the Beach Hotel, they danced the Tuesday night out and left the Raekwons Clan stoked with their surroundings - jh

Ian Bought a Yashica T4 !!

And then he took it to the beach and took it partying. We even took it body surfing..

Yashica started in Japan in the earlier part of the century with the initial investment of $566. They started making mechanical parts for watches. Within 4 years of precise mechanical engineering they introduced there first camera, the Yashimaflex. Sweet Lord, we would like one of those.

In 1992 the Yashica T4 multi-coated Carl Zeiss lens, fixed at 35mm hit the market at the budget price of 130 bucks. But it soon proved anything but 'Low End' ; "It was one of those rare moments in capitalist history when a business venture benefited the consumer almost as much as it benefited company." -http://collectivecamera.com/

WE GOT PROOF PEOPLE!! -JH
