Black friday birthday

Yes, today is my 28th birthday and it's black friday. FUN FACT - I was actually born on Friday 13th of July 1984 (young goth me loved that fact) I have absolutely no plans for the day. Tomorrow i'm going for a nice lunch with my girlfriend, but today is looking to be pretty dang lazy.

No internet for a week... But i survived

And i'm back. My connection died due to a supposed degradation in the lines and it took a week to get back online. Which was quite frustrating, see below for picture of Emma demonstrating how i felt about the phone company.
Don't worry i haven't run out of pics, in fact I have plenty ready and waiting to be posted. I will probably get back to posting schedule in a couple days. In the meantime have a most excellent holiday and be good to yourself.

The House I Grew Up In

Decided to take a late night drive out to North Ryde/Marsfield with my mate Daniel. Partly because we were bored and wanted to do something more than sit around and partly because it is where we both grew up. While there we dropped by my old house to see what had changed... Surprisingly not too much.

Rozelle Markets Haul

My most recent score from a day at the Rozelle Markets. All up I only spent about $30.

A new day, A new blog

My previous blog has served me well for over 6 years, but it seems that my old photo host Zooomr has begun to give up. So instead of trying to re-host the 20k+ photos i have on there and updating the links in over 1600 posts i thought i may just start fresh with a new blog and a new photo host.So, here is the new blog and i've just upgraded my old flickr account to pro and will be using their services from here out. I'm sorry to see Zooomr dying as i've been with them since beta testing (could have even been as early as alpha testing) and they have provided me a great service for the most part.

Anyway, an introduction for new readers and a refresher for any old readers.
My name is Luke, i was born in 1984 & I like things... Things & stuff.
I'll assume you want me to elaborate on that so here's a list of things i enjoy:

Photography - Started getting into taking pictures in 2005, became a club and live music photographer for street press, then moved into fashion photography before finally getting over the idea of working as a photographer and now i just take photos because i love taking photos.
Movies - I'd be here all day trying to list all of my favourite movies (I have a lot) but the #1 would have to be Labyrinth.
Music - Also a lot but lately i've been listening to stuff like Lovers Electric, Kate Nash, Ladytron, Booka Shade, Bondage Fairies, Lilly Allen, Basia Bulat, and a bunch of assorted electro and dubstep.
Knitting - yes i am a straight male knitter and surprisingly good, trying to get a yarn bombing group started up in Sydney at the moment (will hopefully be made easier with a new friend).
Random other stuff - Toys, parties, eating out, lego, walking, busy places, random google searches, fun people, street art, etc.
Oh and my pets, can't forget them. Missy and Emma-Lee, My domestic shorthair cat and mini foxy X jack russell dog.

Anyway, to start things off here is a picture of my first completed I-Cord flower.
