| General | Painting with light, the music of the spheres, messing with Texas, wanderlust, hot nerds, rational humanism, detournement, historiography, cultural theory, passive smoking, iceland, picnics, the ocean, the cult of domesticity, the age of enlightenment, cubic zirconia, left-handed bass players, strawberries, thrift stores, les philosophes, hearing your band's song streamed in 15 second chunks, existentialism, disappointment, indecision, complaining, running myself into the ground. | | Music | I love soulful pop, bittersweet harmonies, scornful blues, murder ballads, big dumb rock and epic noise.

About me:
PETRAJANE.COM IS THE PARTY PAPARAZZI.
It started as something for idle hands to do, and turned into an obsession: petrajane.com is a scrapbook of the best years of my life. I guess you could call me a freelance photographer; my guerilla paparazza gig photos have recently appeared in Pulp, Vice, Artrocker (UK), Satellite, Nexus, Waikato Times, Rip It Up, Real Groove, Sunday Star-Times, Groove Guide, A LOW HUM, and on the covers of Mole Music's 'Go With The Movers' compilation and This Night Creeps' 'Hear A Body Tone' EP.
I try to capture the chaotic, unpredictable, electrifying brilliance of The Moment - to steal some of the vital essense of each show. I love music and shows and the people that make them happen, the enthusiasts and evangelists and stage-invading zealots. I live to be inspired, enthralled and even righteously indignant. Invite me to your show, tell me to download your new demo, introduce me to your new favourite band.
I'm on Flickr now. Add me to your contacts!

Who I'd like to meet:
fellow rock photogs. I wanna see your pics.
Brutally honest music journalists.
Camwhores and Showponies.
The Next Big Things.
Closet intellectuals and latter-day philosophes.
More mouths to feed.
A photogenic boy with a left-handed Rickenbaker 4001, who i can marry and feed vege hotdogs and make rubbish stadium synth-rawk with.
