If you’ve ever wondered where I got the name “Bruce loves you”, it was from the days when I used to photograph bands. I used to have an inflatable kangaroo named Bruce that I carry around to get signed (as he was easily deflated and chucked into my bag ). I used the name for my portfolio and it stuck ever since. My love of The Libertines was what made me interested in band photography in the first place (also thanks to Andrew Kendall for being the photographer I strived to be). Bloc Party in 2005 was the first gig I shot. From there I have made so many friends through this bandom and we went through so many highs and lows together. Sure I stopped band photography all together in the end and turned towards more design/illustrator work, but even that seemed to stem from The Libertines (my first “fan art” was of Pete Doherty ). Bands came and went but The Libertines have always had a special place in my heart. Tonight a bunch of us livejournal kids met up for the first time in years (some I haven’t seen in about a decade!!!!) to relive this beautiful era of our lives. If you told me 13 years ago that I would some day be seeing The Libertines live, I would’ve laughed and thought it impossible. But here I was yesterday, finding myself in a Melbourne lane way with Carl Barât of The Libertines after the best gig I’ve ever been to. It was a night full of laughter and a little bit of tears. And we partied like it was 2005 ❤️ . . . #thelibertines #carlbarat #petedoherty @peterdohertyofficial @carlbarat78 #melbourne (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) -- source link
