Sneak preview of Vasen Photo Shoot

It was a very fun night, and what can I say about the clothes... is just amazing!

Keep an eye on Vasen because I know there are beautiful new styles coming soon!

Thanks to my good friend Zoli for help me, and of course Kayita, Amy and Pacth.

Time to put my stuff back on the walls!

Barra, crocs and camels steaks is over! What a great success it was having others showcasing their creative talent at 95 Sydney Road, and further defining the key objective that I have in mind from the beginning for this gallery: "a place to showcase my photography along with providing a creative space to share with other artist"

But, now its over it is my time to put my stuff back onto the walls. Before I sign off however, I would just like to thanks the people that came in the past two weeks, and for those of you who enjoyed yourself, keep tuned because in January there is much planned for other collaborations to exhibit.

Lastly, in case i don't have time to post anything new before December 31, Merry Christmas to everybody and a Happy New Year!

PS: To any artist out there interested in showing their work please contact me. There is still space for our January exhibition or if not that, than their is always time in the future!

Peace

Five States in Five weeks!!

This is the work of three photographers: Mark Taylor, Damien Mengersen and Sam Crocker who were in a five week road trip through across the centre of Australia. The exhibition opens this Saturday evening at 6pm and continues for two weeks. Don't miss it!! See you guys there!

New stuff from Plasidapparel

Here is a sneak preview of the Plasidapparel Winter 2011 lookbook! Its a shame that we couldn't do the shooting in Bellingen (and thank you rain for follow us to Sydney), we had to do it indoors... but putting the weather aside...

what better way to spend a Friday afternoon than chilling out with friends and taking some snaps! Drinks and pizza topping off the night....

The clothes looks sick - get excited for the drop next FEB! Thanks off course to Jack Farley and Claudia Morehead for modelling... and Jonson for the beers!

Back from Bellingen

Well, after a couple of days to recover after the weekend of pouring rain and torrential drinking at Bellingen's Global Carnival (or rather, the local Pub, The Federal) I can now post a couple of photos from the week away to Bellingen.

Awesome place, awesome people, awesome beaches... bummer it was such crapy weather over the last few days though. As a result of the weather I didn't have the chance to take the camera out to much, but on the Friday I was able to take some shots very early in the morning

We had to postpone the shooting for plasidapparel, weather resulting, and the Global festival was canceled on Sunday because of flash flooding... The question remaining then was a simple one, as the answer to it: what you can do when the rain doesn't want to stop? Yes... hit the local bar! All the week! I blame the rain of course....

Road Trip Tomorrow!

This week was a very good one in many ways... the fact that I sold my first prints was definitely the cherry(s) on the top!

As for next week, its looking to be similarly as awesome! I'm going to go for one week to Bellingen NSW to shoot the lookbook for the winter collection of plasidapparel, whilst also partying with the crew at Bellingen's Global Carnival, and also, of course, for Juzzy's birthday celebrations!!

So, I'm very pump for this week and will be shooting alot whilst I am up there so hope to come back on Monday with a lot of cool pics! :)

My last 90 days... in 90 secs!

My last 90 days... in 90 secs!... Damn... looks so easy in the video... why the hell it took me so long???

Mauricio De la Rocha's Fine Art Gallery Opening

Hi everyone,

As you may already know, I'm about to open an Fine Art Gallery in Manly on the 15th of August at 95 Sydney Rd with the intention to showcase my photography, along with providing a creative space to share with other photographers and other artists. The idea was born from my desire to express my creativity through my photographs to a larger scale of people, so this personal project is going to be dedicated to sharing and promoting different types of creativity from myself, and various other artists.

If you are interested in any form of art, you and your mates are more than welcome to drop by on Sunday August 15th for the opening day at 95 Sydney Rd. Everything will be kicking off around 5.00; drinks will also be provided for all.

Espero verlos ahi!

Summer look from Plasid Apparel

Was a fun Sunday shooting some of the summer collection...

and working with Sylve Colless. The most challenging part?...

for sure dealing with the temperature... damn was cold that day!

You can see more at: www.plasidapparel.com and thefivepointfive.tumblr.com

Australian Fashion Week!

Backstage of Plasid Apparel in the Australian Fashion Week...

It was crazy!!! A lot of pressure, people running all over the place...

but definitely worth it! So much fun that day!... and the after party was sick!... but that is another story ;)

Bye bye summer!

Monday morning... the water is still warm but the days are getting very cold and windy!... so officially I can say: the summer is over!.. at least for me brrrr

Cloudy morning at Manly

Not to busy at work so why not spend the day at the beach?... Better hurry before the rain starts again!

Surreal mornings in B&N

Queenscliff at 5:45 am, the sun is just rising at this time. Its an awesome morning, which I really enjoyed with, of course, a good cup of coffee!

And this one is at the Wharf, probably the same time but in a different day... 5 minutes before the first ferry arrives full of people.
