I love a good Star Wars game, it surprises me that there are so few considering how rich the universe is. Hopefully, this will end up being a good one, just like Knights of The Old Republic.

Pearl Jam, Newcastle, November 2006
I was fortunate enough to get to photograph one of my all time favourite bands, Pearl Jam, when they were in Newcastle, in November 2006. I never got around to posting most of the images due to signing a waiver, however, that’s well expired by now so I can finally post these photos to my blog.

🔗 Sydney school bans kids from handing out birthday invitations
I really wonder about the kid’s parents who originally complained to the school about their kid not getting invited to a party. We’re just making our kids softer and softer. How on earth will they deal with the real world when they don’t get the job they wanted, are they going to dob the company in to their parents for some stern words… What a load of BS.
I still haven’t settled on an NBA team to support, but I’ve got to say, I love watching James Harden play.
