i found a roll of film i shot over a year ago, on the last trip to Araluen. it had been floating around in one of my draws for too long. the images came back way too purple from the C-41 processing chermical they use for slide when i get them developed. they look expired as well. bonus.these are old town’s so these made them look authentic as possum stew in an iron pot.

i couldn’t eat Possum hey. na-ah. i ate boar last week. and crocodile. but Possum? na-ah… possums.

my dads dad was born here. Araluen in southern NSW. around the turn of century my great grandmother Kate owned all the pubs there. well, they were tents back then. i think thats where i get my boozing skills from. thanks Katie. theres nothing there now, not much, they’ve all gone including my dad, but this spot will always be a little bit like home. i went there with my dad a year or two ago, he spoke to some old people down there, and they remembered stories of our family. we owned the pubs remember, we went to war, pops brother is on the tiny war memorial there, we made lasting impressions it seems. my dad was pretty proud. walked around like a pigeon lookin for a root he did.

I bit this photo. i know there’s a million photos taken from under a bridge but i saw this moons ago when my boys Bliss ‘n Eso used it on the inside cover of their first EP. i was driving with my french squeeze-box to get some Sushi from Sushi on Stanley on Monday when my brain exploded and i ended up driving over the bridge. it was a dope winter sunset, just gold tones, so i took her down there and i shot these. i had the wrong lens with me for this shot, but really, you cant fuck up a photo in Sydney i think sometimes. best city ever.

Tarik came over last night, i showed him the photo, we talked about the original where Johnathon climbed up to get the shot for the album. he loved this, so im using it.

its your day today Trev, we’re better off for it too. love ya bro.
