just landed.

Extract from ‘Signals’ a 2003 production by WILLIAMSFILM.

Heading west to start a new project in a new world… When I have more than words, I will post some pictures… Some still, some moving… Some with music.

Still Filthy is done… A few people have mentioned that the film didnt come across like my previous work or the style of video I do here with Runamuk Visuals… Still Filthy wasn’t my film, I worked along and towards the direction I was given from the film’s producer/director, Jarrod Tallman… Jarrod set his goals and concepts for the film and achieved them…

Posts will keep flowing while away… Not just soft smut

We posted a few shots from Thai awhile back… Here’s a few more from New York.

keep lookin’ here

Im not sure what value any of the following shit has, but considering our sites stagnant few weeks its a matter of ‘anything’s better than nothing’…

I can’t tell a good story around a campfire 10 beers down let alone stuck here straight as a judge… So im just gonna run some photo’s and video and write some shit about it…

”You get what your given”…

We got straight off 14 hours transit into a Yellow, 2 door, Toyota Yaris… The lady at the Car rental place was a Jolly big black lady, reminded me of  Big Momma… She had a field day with us… Rollin’ out back to back Aussie jokes, combined with a combo of small car remarks… I think we made her day… She was out to ruin ours.

‘I know y’all be back, I can feel it in my bones… hahahah… Toyota Yaris… hahahah… Y’all be back’

Wade took this shot of Loz… Its a lot of desert from San Clemente to Vegas

2 days in and it was Vegas… We were strapped for cash, but after watching ‘the Hangover’ on the plane we had to go see it for ourselves… No fat Jesus though… We headed out to the desert, Wade, Laurie, Dane and Harry were all aboard…

The result… Broken banks, broken souls…

We drove 4 hours to the Grand Canyon, Took a few photos, turned around and drove 4 hours back… Dumb.

We drove almost 5000 km’s in 2 weeks… Passenger seat photos were rife

Im so interested in people…

No more so than the homeless… The further reality can be from my own, the more it interests me… I have never really witnessed homelessness like I did while in the States. A taxi driver told us that San Fransisco has the highest number of homeless people of any city in the country. Due to the city having the highest welfare payments, other cities like New York basically put the homeless on a bus direct to San Fransisco… How fucked up is that? But I wish we could of done that with emo’s a few trends ago.

Many of the homeless crew appeared to be content with their situation, many didn’t… I’ve felt some pretty low low’s in my life so far, but never to a point where I thought about walking out the door and choosing the street… Fuck, that’s a pretty arrogant remark and im sure the reasons go a lot deeper than ‘a few bad days and im on the streets’ but people are a strange breed, some just do things different than others… I guess the less you have the less you have to lose… Fucks me, Life’s a puzzle.

We stayed in lots of different hotels, they were somewhere between the bottom of the good and the top of bad… This joint was the bottom of the pile… Pretty sure the guy next door had problems with a prostitute he wouldn’t pay, one night all I heard was high heals and high pitched whinning… I would of given her a few bucks to shut up.

pigeon ponders…

No idea why I posted this really… The one thing I bought while in the states was a new pair of shoes… Nike does it best

Ive seen the hills of San Fran in so many films from skate flicks to Cop flicks…

Dont believe what you see in the movies… The yaris dont launch…

Chinatown… The better of a bad bunch of shots.

Could of been the edge of the world… But it wasn’t

Venice Beach is messed up… Everything about it… All in a good way

Double denim… Legendary

Art and all forms off it…

I tried to shoot this old bloke doing a full ‘disney on ice’ solo on his rollerblades… It was one of the most amusing things I have ever seen… But the look he sent me as I went to aim him up was pure evil… He went from this amusing fruitbooting ballerina to a stone hard bruiser… It was alltime

I tried to get a few shots of the local crew that loitered the place, but shooting people doing their daily thing is pretty wack and far from easy… I was pissed when I looked through the shots and had nothing of Venice Beach, but if some blow-in just rocked up and started taking photos of me rollerblading with my guitar down Poinciana Ave i’d be off it too…

The crew who manage to nail the lifestyle & personality photos of everyday people are either decked out with charisma or have a pocket full of cash. I have niether. The Venice beach locals we ran into weren’t into the idea of some Aussie deadshit snappin their photos.

One of our best mates, Dwayne Paenga, has 2 calls ‘Ya Pencil’ and ‘Pink’… This is for you Dwayno

Biggie & Obama… Roof top royalty

The most talked about burger joint in the universe… And it’s damn good.

I didn’t manage too shoot much video of the trip… Ive spent too much time shooting shit instead of just enjoying it…

The video doesn’t have much purpose… Not much really happens, but it’ll have to do. Enjoy

Wade just dumped a pile of shots from his last few months on the road… No order, no descriptions, no purpose, just photos… Enjoy

In the process of trying to make something half entertaining out of the scattered vision we shot in the States… Here’s some photos to keep this place alive for now…

A few shots from Wade’s first roll of film.

This place has been looking like a B-grade smut site for the last few weeks… Sorry?

After too long in computer mode it was time to unplug… The plan was to kick back in the States, cruise about and let the brain soothe… It all fell to hell and our plan followed the lines of a grubby, hell ridden Hertz roadmap… Back to back meltdowns, disney, canyon, vegas, scottish ale, fries, ranch, wings and swann are the few words I can churn ou to fill up some space on this neglected site of ours… Hellbound in a 2-door Toyota Yaris… Fuck it was good, it was one of those trips that will get better the more distant the memories become… Memories like these need time to find their lighter sides.

The ‘Holiday’ is over and i’m wrecked but for those who care this place will be flowing again with the usual…

If none of that made sense this photo may help…

Or this one…
