My name is Mike, and I'm a photography graduate from Perth's Curtin University. But that's so formal and stale. I don't really dig commercial things, really. They wanted us to embrace the slick, perfectionist stylings that the industry wants, and I gave them that, but it's pretty lame. I like things that are spontaneous, full of life and flaws and stories.

I am also beginning my training as a tattoo artist, so this account is going to be a bit of a jumble of different content. And I'm still shooting for bands, live and promotional, so that will start appearing here as well.

hello world.

Journal Entry: Fri Sep 11, 2009, 2:17 AM
In a week, I have gone from staying up till 5am and sleeping till 3pm, playing video games, refreshing facebook and feeling like shit to trying to coordinate a tattoo apprenticeship, 3 6 hour shifts a week at my old job, 2 bands, and a variety of upcoming photoshoots. And most of that in the last few days. It's a massive head fuck, because I'm not used to having to be working on something 100% of the time because my free time has been decimated.

So much for not knowing what I want to do with my life. Now I'm planting foot after foot on a very clear path, instead of doing zero-gravity somersaults in a void.

Crazy how much things can change so quickly. And all of this at a time when others lives are changing equally as quickly, however not so much for the good. I'm deeply sad for many of my friends who have lost a parent, a child, or dealing with terrible illness in a loved one. I hope everything improves for everyone. It seems like this time of year heralds significant change for me and others each time it comes around. Maybe it's the onset of spring in a week or two?

You're a team player, a save-the-day-superhero. I hate people like you.
