New York, New York
Ah, New York. What a wonderful city! I was there for a few days visiting the main man behind Lost At E Minor, my brother Zolton. In amongst all the walking and talking, I managed to whip out my camera every now and then. These shots capture the vertical scale of the city, the wonderful deco architecture, and the vast blocks of blue that engulf the city on a clear day.

I was working in New York in the early seventies, walked into a club, and heard this. It’s been in my head ever since. I knew the song because it had been launched in the UK by The Shadows some ten years earlier, but this blew it away. Africa Bambaataa and Kool Herc and others gave me a new direction.

The Park8 Hotel is one of Sydney’s lesser known boutique hotels, but it’s the place to stay if you fancy taking Sydney by foot. Around the corner is Sydney’s busiest shopping strip, the Pitt Street Mall. And across the road is the iconic Hyde Park. Surry Hills, Kings Cross and Darling Harbour are not far from the Park8. We stayed in a 1 bedroom loft apartment, which includes a wonderfully large spa bath and rainshower. Read more

I’m planning to go to New York soon as well. It’s my favourite destination/city of all time even though I haven’t been there.

Brilliant shots Zac!
New York has left me incredibly awe-inspired. The energy here is relentlessly inspiring and the personalities of the boroughs, none more captivating than the gritty charm of Brooklyn, are enormously motivating in themselves. Then there’s the rest of the culture…
My short stay in New York concluded this afternoon with a stroll around Brooklyn with Zolton. What a great way to wrap it up – it was so good to see him, and his little tour was easily the coolest I’ve ever experienced… no-one knows culture like Zolton!

Fantastic shots, Zac, just beautiful, perfectly capturing the crisp, sharp outlines of the art deco buildings up against the azure background, but Zolt, time for a shave.

I agree Rob – time for Zolt to shave the fluff on that chin alright. And perhaps up top too?

Concept albums have always been a hit or miss affair, all too often to be taken with a pinch of salt. Some work brilliantly; many fall flat on their esoteric face. Dr John’s response to Hurricane Katrina is an intriguing album. Some is rousing, some depressing: it’s littered with political statements, perhaps too much at times but given it’s purpose the over-saturation isn’t surprising. Read more
