Fuck it, let’s keep this ball rolling. Here is easily the most famous artist I’ve shot, Ne-Yo, in the O2 in Dublin earlier this year. Usually I only shoot bands I’m a fan of, but I actually had loads of fun shooting this, so I’ll definitely be doing it again!

Unexpectedly breaking radio silence to post some photos of a band people have actually heard of, for once!

These are my favourite shots from Enter Shikari’s show in Dublin last week. Check out more here, and even more here!

Drum Kit For Sale in Dublin

€1,600 or nearest offer.

My dad is leaving the country and he gave me his drum kits. I don’t play half as much as I used to, so I’m keeping the less-good one and selling this beautiful Pearl Masters kit.

It’s a four-piece, maple shelled kit, with a lovely wine-y red finish that Pearl no longer make(!). It’s a small kit; 20” bass drum, 12” snare and 10” and 14” for toms. It’s mainly meant to be a jazz kit, I think, but my dad used to use it for funk stuff as well!

The front rim on the bass drum was cracked, but as you can see in the photo it’s been repaired really well, and it would be easy replace if it bothers you.

I’m including the cymbals with it; they are as follows:

14” Zildjian Top Quick Beat hi-hats

16” Zildjian Brilliant paper thin crash

18” Sabian Evolution HHX crash

18” Paiste 302 Crash/Ride

Also includes stands, seat, kick pedal and soft cases.

Email me at yanbourke(at)gmail(dot)com if you’d like to arrange to check the kit out!

Making more of an effort to sell this, mainly reblogging it here because tumblr’s latest update killed my missinge so I can’t directly reblog it to my main blog.

lensblr-network:

Among the millions of blogs on Tumblr, only a small number are contributors of original content: “the world’s creators”

And if you’ve ever looked at Tumblr’s Explore Page you might notice that Photography is oddly absent.

There’s #design, #art, #architecture and even #artists on tumblr — but no mention of anything related to the art of taking pictures with a camera. Even #film is a trap — it’s for movies, not analog photography!

We don’t think this situation is acceptable. So let’s Fight it.

We’d like to ask all original photographers on Tumblr to start putting the #photographers on tumblr tag on every single photo you post.

Photographers deserve more recognition among the Creators on Tumblr. Hopefully, by using this tag we’ll help the entire community of Tumblr photographers get noticed — and maybe one day we will see that tag on the Tumblr Explore page too.

Reblog this post and spread the word.

Sincerely,
Photographers on Tumblr

I need to post more things on tumblr!

Finally got around to uploading some video I shot of Heathers at First Fortnight!

It’s the first video I’ve shot that hasn’t had my camera’s mic be horribly overloaded… so of course, the stage lights were doing a weird flickery thing. Oh well!

Totally neglecting this blog now that I have a facebook page for my photography. I’m just too damn lazy for multiple social networking platforms! Here’s a video though.

It’s a four-piece, maple shelled kit, with a lovely wine-y red finish that Pearl no longer make(!). I don’t have a measuring tape ATM (I’ll edit this post when I’ve sorted that out) but it’s a small kit; around 20” for the bass drum, 12” for the snare and 10” and 14” for the toms. It’s mainly meant to be a jazz kit, I think, but my dad used to use it for funk stuff as well!

Finally got these shots developed, which were the whole point of this photoshoot - using my camera from the 1950s for something appropriately kitchy and 50s-themed.
