I have chosen for the images for my Media Self Portrait pictures that have been taken of me this week by my friends. I tried not to orchestrate the images, or pose for them, I just wanted pictures of me through-out my week. So that’s why there are snapchats in there, pictures of me out and about, videos of me and my girlfriend riding our bikes, or on the train home at night. I wish however that the pictures weren’t of me specifically, my physical form, my earthly vessel etc.
PHOTOS

My friends who helped me shoot some of these pictures, shooting a picture of me! We are at the Brunswick Baths off Sydney Road.
My friend is a photographer and he had some film developed this week. This is a photo he took of me on the weekend. His is very talented. See his work in the clickthrough link on the photo.
My partner and I having a boogie to a song I can’t remember. I think it could be some Florence, or some Charli xcx, but deep down… I know its ABBA
I am really hungover here, and I have gone back to the town I was raised in (St Andrews). This is me on a very rare Saturday where I am not working.
VIDEOS

This is me riding my bike at night which is a favourite pastime of mine. A man comes by and asks me what I’m doing and I have to tell him it’s a media project. This has been a big part of my life for my last 2 years studying media; explaining what the hell i’m doing.

This is just an ambience video.My girlfriend and I are coming home from a talk by Carrie Brownstein at the town hall. Most days, between work and Uni, we might not see each other during the day, unless it’s on public transport. So I filmed our feet together on the train, which kinda mirrored a part in You, Me, and Everyone We Know by Miranda July.
AUDIO
Please forgive me for poor audio quality. My phone microphone is broken and I can only take calls on Loudspeaker which makes me look very rude on the train. The first Audio clip I have is in a video, because thats the only way I can record sound. It’s me and my friend singing to Violent Soho on Triple J while looking for some takeaway food.

- How have you been lately?

- And yet you starve me
