Well, nearly another month over and my 10th post so far! Congratulations to me. It feels like this year is moving so fast. Its coming round to the time for people to be looking for new houses for september and it feels like we only just moved into this one. Maybe its just me getting older but im only 22. Maybe the other saying ‘time flies when your having fun’ applies better.

Anyway. Ive been back in Durham over the weekend gone, for my brothers birthday. It was cool. Very chilled. Good eats, good convo with family and stuff so a good one all round and joss my brother seemed to enjoy it to.

Over the weekend i also went to a Hardcore alldayer in the tiny ex-pitt village of Sherburn Hill. When i was younger, some guys from our town used to put shows like this on all the time in a place called the rowing club. Unfortunately it was knocked down so the options for venues has been limited, so shows like this only happen now and then round our way. Still though, every time theres one one, all the old faces come out the woodwork and its amazing. If you’ve never experienced a show like this then your missing out. Hardcore punk is literally the most expressive thing i can think of. The amount of passion that pours out of these bands and the kids who go to see them is ridiculous. Its just an awe inspiring thing to witness. And from a photo point of view it means you get awesome pictures. Expressions, movement, passion, sweat, spit, blood. Its all there.

I was really buzzed to take lots of photos through the day, but the idiot i am i left my camera charger at home and with only 5% battery left i was going to have to be quick with what i shot. However, like i said… with the amount of energy that was kicking around the place it was gonna be hard to get a bad photo. I decided to only take shots of headliners ‘Cursed’ who literally kicked the shit out of everyone. I managed to get 9 shots out of my camera before it died and these are the best of the 9.

    

Take it easy.
