Me interviewing rad people for SOGGYBONES

Peep the little chat I had with Perth based skateboard riding snapper Luke Thompson about his first solo show that opens tonight (yes TONIGHT, here in Perthetic).  Scan your eyes over it here 

*sigh* I do love dem skateboard riders aka 'Meals on Wheels', and there are plenty to perv over at SOGGYBONES

SHRED TAVERN DOES HALLOWEEN

Fuck I hate Halloween. Mainly 'cause I famously hate dress ups.  But I DO like Shred Tavern and the boys are throwing quite the epic party this Saturday.  I am actually going and everything...it must be good.

The Obnoxious Owl Experience: Where do the weeks go?

Last week my good friend and uber snapper Luke Thompson took some photographs of me and Lady SJ.  It was a pretty fun day and it's always nice to have your hair and make up done.  This is just one of the photos, I'm just being impulsive by posting it.  Look out for the rest coming soon (you know photographers .... edit edit edit, just make my thighs look smaller OK Luke?)

Luke Thompson - Photographer

If I'm being honest, I was a little nervous to do this interview...it's obviously a little intimidating to interview someone whom you admire and who's work you think is dope...yet you know nothing about it and don't want to come off as ignorant. Getting to know Luke, I was a little surprised by his modesty and humbleness, especially as he has achieved quite a bit for his mere 24 year old age - there is something to be said about having your name amongst the guys he admires as a senior photographer for SLAM magazine. A Western Australian fella, reared in Margaret River before moving to Perth with his mother as a kid, Thompson began rolling on a skateboard before he ever picked up a camera - and it's been a match made in heaven ever since. Behind this guys soft spoken voice and quirky style of dressing lies a burning desire to keep on achieving, meeting people and broadening his horizons. He thinks long and hard before every question, which tells me that being understood and taken in the right context means a lot to him. The founding member of shredtavern.com has his finger in so many proverbial pies and so many plans swimming in his visionary mind that he sighs and yawns often and seems a little frustrated that there is quite frankly, not enough time in the fucking day. So let's explore the mind of the multi talented, crazy creative man that is...Luke Thompson.
