Steel City Skate City Exhibition

Free Exhibition of skating in the Illawarra this Friday night at the Wollongong Uni Sports Hub 6.30pm. Come along and walk though the years of skating in the Illawarra, have some nibbles and see Roller Derby girls in their training environment. If you love skating of any kind, you wont want to miss this. I'll be showing some of my work on the WIRD girls. So if you are around Wollongong Friday evening, pop in for a drink and say hi to one of our gorgeous derby queens.

See you there x

Photo Shoot!!

So I'm getting ready for a photo shoot with the girls. I'm slowly trying to wrap up this project but I'm finding it hard to know when to do it! So many events popping up and of course the Great Southern Slam is coming up. Here are the details;

"For two whole days, over June 12-13, 2010, roller derby teams will converge on Adelaide from every corner of Australia and New Zealand to do battle with skate and booty. Some will come intent on glory, others to test their mettle, but all will come to revel in the biggest celebration of hard hitting knocks and derby love this nation has ever seen"

So as you can see, it's going to be huge!!!

So I'm going to try and get to the slam, anyone want to go on a road trip??
Decide when I'm doing this exhibition and also decide if I should compile a book or not. To help try and get me there I have added advertising to my site. I have tried to make it as Roller Derby friendly as possible.
I need all the help I can get to make this project happen!!

If you are interested in meeting some of the girls and seeing what I do, you are welcome to come and hang out during the photo shoot.
Date:
Saturday, June 5, 2010
Time:
2:00pm - 4:00pm
Location:
Outside Project Gallery Space, Keira St, Wollongong

The Final Bout...

So I am still recovering from last nights bout. What a game!! Unfortunately the WIRD girls were beaten by the Dockyard Dames, but once again it was very close. Congratulations on being such good sports. There was also a moving tribute to Two Ton Teyla who passed away last week. It's beautiful to see how much love and respect the girls have for one another. She will be missed.
Once again I'll be posting a few shots. I am organising an exhibition and book launch. Just finalising dates at the moment. So stay tuned...

So next match is next Saturday night at the Horden Pavillion.
Doors open at 5pm for a full night of roller derby entertainment, including roller girls, a demo bout between two mystery leagues, music, performance artists and much, much more! Sydney City Assassins will play Northern Brisbane Brawl Stars at 7pm so get your tickets now to avoid disappointment!"

See you there folks x
Until next time my friends :)

Scrimmage!!!

Well it's coming up to the next bout and things are getting serious! Well not that serious:) I went to training last night for a warm up shoot before the weekend again. The girls looked in fine form with high spirits. I'd like to thank Kim Ocean for completely saving me last night from getting crunched. I was a little too close to the action.I'm really loving being part of this project and would like to thank all the girls for making me feel welcome. You guys rock!
So Iwish you all the best for this Saturdays game.
If you haven't got tickets yet you better get to it.
Last game sold out!
