The Departed

The start of the last roadtrip for this trusty old steed.

Some days I miss it ... but not often.

The National

The Intermission

The Luluc

The Setup

The HongKong?

A few weeks ago I spent a few days in Auckland.

I took this photo then.

The Saved

A few weeks ago I spent a few days in Auckland.

I took this photo then.

The Backlog

A few weeks ago I spent a few days in Auckland.

I didn't take these photos then.

The Devonians

The Kelvinist

The Pedestrian

The Lion

The Disembodied

One head, one shoulder.

Two torsos.

Oh look, he does have a head too.

The Buildings

Some buildings for you all.

And a dumb blog - thanks Gabrielle.

The Hug

Random people.

On a random street.

In a random city.

By a random photographer.

With a random camera.

The Fainéant

The Backpackers

When we were in Auckland a while ago - December 2006 to be precise - we stayed at a backpackers.

The one indicated by this sign - to be precise.

We was made up of four of us, though, to be precise, one of us didn't survive the first night.

The backpackers had a pleasant backyard. This one - to be precise.

However, it should in no way be taken as indicative of the backpackers itself.

Which was, frankly, a bit of a hovel. To be precise.

The Out

Here's a bunch more pictures to conclude my Big Day Out 2008 coverage.

Op Shop.

Billy Bragg.

Billy Bragg.

Either Pluto or Arcade Fire.

Shihad.

LCD Soundsystem.

The Clean.

The Day

In today's instalment I give you a bunch of arty shots.

Starting in the Boiler Room with Dr Octagon.

Mmmm. Nice.

And here's Bjork. I think this is from her encore. With evening falling the fancy lighting started to look decent.

Then back into the tent for LCD Soundsystem. And I got excited using that unfocussable lens. Oh it was so pretty.

And we finish with The Clean under the moon.

Lovely.
