Tom Craig, if you are ever to my knowledge anywhere within a 50km radius of me I will be hunting your genius self down to force my love and affection upon you for making these images. I'd say that's being rather reasonable, modest even, especially after taking into consideration the not so small detail that your website is Flash based.
.......I think he just changed my life.

I barely know what to do with all my RAFW photos SO let's get interactive you take control - tell me what you want to see. Ask of a theme, model, show, moment, colour, subject etc etc and I'll pick & post my favourites. Plan?
Be as abstract, direct, broad, specific, obscure as you feel is necessary. Go!
I don't usually venture into street style photography but oh man I just couldn't resist, she's one of those "if I were a boy..." girls.
Even if dressed in rags I would have been likely to feign interest in her wears just to get a shot of that face, just sayin'.
Jasmine Tiffany works at one of Sydney's Belinda boutiques who, in the process of trying to stalk some more information about the babe, I discovered have a fabulous blog. Love her LD Tuttle boots. She was on her way to see the Christopher Esber show at RAFW.
An all star lineup at Fernando Frisoni's RAFW show provided angelic faces on a sunny Wednesday to tantalise my cameras sensor.
I mention the sensor > eyes because I swear it really is like that, my eyes don't get the pleasure of the days goings on until late at night when I sit down to my dearly beloved (iMac), transfer, view and edit files as I listen to it steadily whir away in the background keeping up with all my whims and whimsy.
I don't chose computer (/photos/cameras) over a relationship...it is my relationship and what a sad sad sentence this is.
Too bad.
Off to a big field, a few stages and some people making music for the weekend. Plenty to review upon my return
I need to write, to release, to clarify, to consolidate, to see my thoughts but it's not flowing so here's my reworked Holzer essay....
FREEDOM IS IT! YOU'RE SO SCARED. WHAT CAUSED THIS SITUATION? WHAT HAPPENS NOW? LET PEOPLE FULFILL THeIR NEEDS. FREE PEOPLE ARE GOOD, PRODUCTIVE PEOPLE. LET IT EXPLODE. RUN WITH IT. DON'T CONTROL OR MANIPULATE. CLARIFY THE MIND. DEFINE THE WILL. RESTRAIN THE SENSES. VOMIT THE HEART. REJECT ACQUAINTANCES. DISSECT MYTH. SLOW MODIFICATION CAN BE EFFECTIVE. MEN CHANGE BEFORE THEY NOTICE AND RESIST. DON'T TALK DOWN TO ME. DON'T TRY TO MAKE ME FEEL NICE. YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. YOU THINK NO ONE CAN REACH YOU. LET ME IN. LET ME IN.
I have one zzzzillion RAFW photos to post but y'all are being bombarded right now so I'll probably save it for next week when no one gives a shiz.
This photo needs a story but time is of the essence right now so I will keep my story to myself and let you make yours.
My hand looks like a dinosaur but we had a wonderful night none the less.
We like dancing, people watching, honesty, eyes, piercing eyes, characters, fur, gin & apple, heart explosions, taxi drivers & last but never least we love love.
We don't like (most) men in Sydney.
Not realising your getting on a roll with a colour pallete until reviewing your Tumblr at the end of a sesh = great feeling. Almost as great as Giseles bod (boobs), but not quite.
It's the angles of objects, the lines, the horizon, the focal points, the balance, the where he stands to shoot from in relation to the corner of a room.
I feel an almost numbing calm come over me looking at this Spanish dreamboats portfolio.
Can't understand a word of this. Don't even care. Want to go for a wander through the world with me and my camera.
You know that feeling: "...if I'm not going to be in love I may as well not be stuck here"?If not congratulations you don't love love therefore your life will be far more satisfyingly smooth sailing than those of us who do. But anyway, it's not exactly where I'm at for now but do remember that all too clearly from not all that long ago - if I was looking at this then I would be outtie before I'd even had the chance to post this.
P.S. If you're new here, welcome. I get some pretty awesoment sentence structures going on and way too much sarcasm for most average humans but you soon warm to it...or so they say.
A midweek mexican feast is promised.
It's not a party without some kitchen woes.
Whoever said a microwave can't cook 50+ tortillas at once was wrong.
Sangria! Putting the fie (Spanish for 'guarantee'..I looked it up) in fiesta since forever.
Aodhannn. Notice gun to head action in background.
People hurt my head...time to climb stairs.
My steadfast companion and his burritos.
Freedom! You taste so sweet and you are so free.
We talked of rhyme & reason whilst straddling a rooftop wall before progressing to a derelict couch. Great night had by us :)
Ballet seems kind of hip right now and I am led to believe Black Swan is the catalyst for this. No complaints from me but as one who tends to gravitate away from 'trends' I have a bad habit of defending my interest in the topic, and perhaps even get a touch self righteous knowing it's been a big part of my life since forever - pretty sure I was wearing leotards before I was out of nappies.
Moving forward...
This beautiful video styled by James Worthington DeMolet, directed by Bon Duke and choreographed by Justin Peck features NYC's principle dancer Janie Taylor road testing Chloé’s dance-inspired Spring/Summer 2011 collection.
I think more than almost anything else I am in awe of the way she navigates those long luscious locks as she dances....
