Last weekend I spent the day in Fremantle with my aunt and uncle. Fremantle is seriously the best place in Perth. I L.O.V.E. it :-D and oneday I will live there! It is so me; quirky, a bit out there, and different....ok ok I'm getting off subject, but seriously peoples if you are ever in Perth WA you must take a trip down to Fremantle!
Alright, so the reason I went to Freo was for The Norfolk Lanes Youth Festival which was on that weekend and my aunt and I, being the photographic fiends that we are, took the opportunity to get some good photos. Oh and The Joe Kings happened to be playing a short gig there too...what a wonderful start to the festival!.
When we arrived we got caught up in a throng of what seemed to be Sherlock Holmes fanatics. That's what it looked like to me: A few people with pipes hanging out of their mouths, lots of people had fake moustaches and they were all dressed like they'd stepped out of the 1950's. Weird. But it made for interesting viewing and photographing. I didn't end up getting many good photos though. I was too enthralled with some of the great outfits the ladies were wearing to remember to take photos.
Turned out that they were all lined up getting ready for the "slowest" bike race. whoever went the slowest won, or something like that. And I think the cause was for Movember, hence the reason why everyone had a moustache.
Love this lady's red hat and shoes. And all the old fashioned bicycles! I love them :-D
Next we found ourselves on a blocked off street that had been set up for some skate ramps....I thought this little guy was so adorable!
Pity the guy in the white shirt was in the way, the photo would have been a lot better.
I was sitting on the kerb here and I really did think that skate board was going to fly out from under his feet and hit me! It stopped before it got too close to me thankfully haha.
Once we'd had our fill of photographing the skater dudes we made our way over to the main stage on Norfolk Lane. The best place to be. I love music, it makes me feel so alive and happy. I could have stayed at the front of the stage all day haha. Anyways, the first band that played went by the name of Hurricane Fighter Plane. I really enjoyed their music and songs! We even scored their EP for free. woo! free stuff ahaha.
I definitely want to see this band perform again.
And then The Joe Kings came on! yay :)
Ryan!
Phill!
One of my favorites
Another favorite
Off came the shirts.
Ryan's hair is defying gravity!!!
It was really different seeing them play during the day. It's better for taking photos, as in I didn't get so many blurry photos. But I get more effective photos at night when there is stage lighting.
The end of yet another fantastic set. :-D
Ok last 2 pics. I was fascinated by this graffiti artist. He had his face covered and I was curious about what he looked like underneath.
He got the crowd involved in his piece by asking passer byes to have a game of noughts and crosses..cool :)
Ok lovelies that's it from me today. I hope you all enjoy these new photos. I had a ball taking them!
Much love, Chloe xx
