Chris Duncan does great shapes.
I really like this piece, it is simply excellent.



I watched this documentary "B.I.K.E" a few weeks ago.
It is excellent and filled with interesting characters who all share a love for Bikes.
You should check it out if you have an interest in sociology and contemporary bike culture. 


This film gives you a gritty and visually arresting insight into the inner workings of the brooklyn chapter of the black label bike club. 

this is the heaviest docoumentary i have seen to date
I am really intrigued by drug films but this one is just maybe a little too revealing
dope sick love
no narration, just a camera, 2 couples filmed over the course of 18 months.
watch the preview of the characters if you are curious like me and feel slightly daring. 




it is a life changing documentary.

You have to have quite a lot of friends and even more acquaintances before it becomes acceptable to say you are lonely. - alain de botton.

jeremy geddes is an incredible painter, I came across his works a few years back
you might like his works too, he does beautiful shading and the subject matter is always a little unusual at first glance but always stunning in composition.

Finally I have updated to a new website format. http://jefske.com is live and updated from recent works and older series revisited and presented in a cleaner layout.

The site relaunch was not without technical struggles....
Luckily Zac was able to debug my files so I could install the new app to make this site live.
Hope you will all enjoy the new photos.

The documentary was produced by my close friend

The Kills, @the Forum 2009.

My external hard drive is filling up so I decided to go through my archives to do some cleaning up and in the process I had rediscover some of my older shots that I have not seen in a while. I will try to post some more older photos frequently on the blog.


Alison Mosshart is one of the best live performers I had ever got the pleasure to photograph.
It was an amazing night and the show was very memorable.
I am glad I got a set of photos to remember the night by.

Parade - Hoboken, New Jersey, 1955
by Robert Frank.


Last night, I couldn't sleep so I flicked on the ABC and came across this great documentary called Genius of Photography produced by the BBC.

I didn't know what I was watching at the time, as I missed the first 10 minutes but I started the bit when they introduced Robert Frank's work and first book produced in France and I was hooked.

If you like Photography, you should definitely check it out.

I found the link to the
Genius of Photography doco on Youtube!! Enjoy.


"The funny thing is there’s still so much product in the ads, although it is natural not forced. Of course you can have these sort of faceless, retouched 20-year-old models - and there’s nothing at all wrong with them - but I find it refreshing there can also be a 65-year-old woman carrying things, feeling proud of her body and what she is doing. I’m very keen to support that in any way or form." - Juergen Teller talks about photography, film and the art of ping pong on Ponystep.

I stumble across Enter the Void a few days ago, it sounds pretty special.
The Dazed interview gives you a bit of an insight to the workings of the production, it definitely looks like more than method acting.

For those who haven't been to Tokyo, Drug culture is extremely covert, since the law enforcement do not really give you a slap on the wrist but you get dealt with pretty seriously (not as bad as Thailand but still pretty intense). So if you like me have a bit of an obsession with drug culture but do not like the idea of prisons, this film might be fulfilling.

This story should give
you just the right kick into the underground drug and sex scene of Tokyo, presumably with a psychological twist that will probably make you feel slightly uneasy.
Go Check out the interview on Dazed Digital with the 2 actors who are featured in the film, if you are intrigued.
If you know anything about where I can watch the film, give us a holler!
Thanks.

I can't wait till Winter comes.
Summer Clothes are truly really boring.
The new Claude Maus range looks quite good, thanks to the F-T update!

Wild Beast @Oxford Art Factory, Sydney 2010.

Last night made me realised, how infrequently I actually do take photos at a gig these days. Before the curtain opens.... I always feel like I am about to start a race and hope the lights will be well adjusted enough for me to get a few presentable photos for whom I am taking the photos for.

Anyway
I got to see Wild Beast again at the Oxford Factory right after seeing them at the Sydney Laneway festival.

It was very enjoyable performance but the lighting was a bit tricky... luckily the photos turned out pretty well.
The whole set should be available on the
Kluster Gallery in a few days.
