I take pictures and I like to make people laugh.

Just developed my first roll of my film. Thanks @exaframe for the ace workshop!

Congratulations to my good friends GraceJean who were amazing at their debut album launch on Saturday. Every song on the album is beautiful, and especially so live. If you want a musical treat, look for Long Black Road. It's so fucking good.

This is a photo of our souls, no picture could sum us up better.

Yesterday at Sanatorium Lake. A beautiful spot for a picnic and swim if you ever get the chance.

Spending the last of the roll outside Hillvale. Not a bad spot to be wasting film, not a bad boy to be wasting film on.

The drive from my hometown back to Melbourne is really beautiful at this time of year and every time of year.

Afternoon delight.

This was taken on my Sony A7 iii with an adapter and a vintage Minolta lens. I was actually taking example photos so that I can sell this lens, and then convinced myself to keep it. By adapting vintage glass to newer cameras you can get beautiful, unique,…

GraceJean on an early morning roadtrip, on a cold midwinter day. It sounds dreamy but really we ate too many snacks and made a lot of bad jokes.

When it comes to cameras you just have to choose the right tool for the job. This was taken on my Google Pixel 3, my least favourite camera but the one that I have on me all the time. I had to snap this pic of the road because it kind of reminds me of the iconic Jaws poster.…

Had fun trying a very old piece of red glass on my work horse for shits and gigs but actually love the results, Miller's hair is red as fire so it feels right.

Shot on my Yashica Samurai x3 by @sven_not_stout when we were outside Hillvale using up the last of this roll so I could get it developed.

I got my hands on a Polaroid SX-70 and took this photo that was the most tactile and audibly satisfying picture I've ever taken, and at $5 a frame this camera is going to ruin me.

This is my stupidly handsome housemate in a diptych shot on my beloved Yashica Samurai, which has got to be one of my favourite film cameras purely for the fun-factor.

Fondly remembering the weather when it was important to wear a hat :( #film #yashicasamurai

The girl on the left there is @fionasteelemusic and she is in allll my band pics because she's in SO MANY BANDS and is a gem and lets me photograph them. This particular one is GraceJean and they're a really bloody amazing folk duo who I can't get enough of. Oh and I'm also …

Date night with @sven_not_stout

[Mardy Bridges @mardybridges]

Very lucky to have great friends who are also great musicians and asked me to take pictures of them. @dealingwithdinosaurs

I deleted the almost identical photo post because I like this one slightly better.
