Old Rockers...

.... never die, they just get glasses and drink more.

Remember the Expo 88 celebrations I wrote about last week? Well I went along to the concert that night and it was awesome. Got to try my hand at some decent band photography. Wish I had been able to get a bit closer but I'm still really pleased with what i came away with. So without further ado, here is a few quick edits from my photos of Joe Camilleri and The Black Sorrows and Mental As Anything.

I still have some 300 photos from the whole night to go through, so I may post some more on here in the near future.

Expo '88

For those who have been living under a rock all year, this year is the 20th anniversary of World Expo at South Bank (before it was the South Bank we know today) and the major public celebrations are being held this Saturday. Also pretty sure that we are the only former host of Expo to actually celebrate this far on after its long gone.

There is definitely an 80s theme for the event, lots of 80s movies, music and bright fluoro colours on all the advertising. Lots of free stuff too for the cheap photographer among us (hey, isn't that most of us?) as well as a gazillion photo ops, from free bands (Mental as Anything), roving street performers and of course, fireworks.

Just a bit of a heads up. For more info go to www.southbankcelebrates88.com.au

And yeah, still picking up that lens this afternoon, so expect another entry later tonight.
