It does take a toll… Three days of fun, meeting friends and good music. Time to catch up on sleep, but before that, here are some pictures from the first act of day 3 – Charles “City” Gatt Quartet. The rest tomorrow… assuming I wake up, that is!

It is four o’clock in the morning. I’ve dozed off a couple of times, I’m sure of that – but it was worth it. Enjoy the images from the Malta Jazz Festival 2010, Day 2, featuring Esperanza Spalding and Joshua Redman Double Trio. The latter will be published as soon as I get the go ahead.

Jazz Festival 2010 – Day 1

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 01:12:03 +0000

This year I have once again been honoured with a photography pass to the Malta International Jazz Festival. It is now 20 years since the inception of this event, and it has become an institution both locally and overseas. Last night’s performance was fantastic – three very different styles, each impeccable and thoroughly enjoyable. The performers from last evening were Francesca Galea and Leonardo Montana, The Bad Plus, and Mike Stern. I must say that I personally enjoyed Mike Stern most, with his fusion of Jazz and Rock. Brilliant!

So, without further ado, here are some photos from last night’s performance.

Tektika Tango Art Exhibition

It has been over a year in the making. Finally, the tango exhibition is here, and I am very excited to be participating in a collective exhibition after quite a while. There is a reason why I have stopped participating in collective exhibitions, and this is because I feel that the general public, unfortunately, still struggles to view photography as an artform. By being selective about the work I exhibit, I can concentrate on creating the work which gives me most pleasure, and I do not regret this decision.

This exhibition, however, is different. It is the result of a long and leisurely project which I have thoroughly enjoyed working on. No work is staged, and all is the result of images captured live during a number of milonga sessions. It gave me the opportunity to learn and appreciate the culture of Tango, and the time to digest it and develop the images over several months.

The exhibition will feature 7 artists using different media, and although I have as yet seen very few of the works, I am confident that some very interesting concepts have evolved during this period.

Below is the banner for the event. If you would like to attend the opening, feel free to contact me to request an invite.

The Malta Jazz Festival 2009

admin — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 15:33:44 +0000

Seems like lately I’ve been doing quite a few events. It is summer after all, and it is a great way to spend an evening. This time I’ve managed to squeeze myself into the Malta Jazz Festival, which after a few years went back to its original location and more importantly, its original format. Unfortunately I was only able to attend one of the evenings, however here are some photos from the great Cuban band Maracas, who managed to get everyone dancing in the end!

Masters of Dirt (2009)

admin — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:03:45 +0000

This series of photographs was taken during the local production of the Masters of Dirt event, which features mainly freestyle motorcross. It is however set up as a very elaborate and entertaining show, featuring, amongst others, pyrotechnics and the ever-popular “fire girls”.

The event was highly interesting, and also a challenge to photograph, due to the sheer speed of the show’s pace.
