adidas 15 Years of Gonz; Sydney

Following on from last week's In Their Shoes interview with famed skate photographer Benjamin Deberdt, it's time to turn attention to the subject of some of Benjamin's most acclaimed work; skate god Mark Gonzales.
Sydney was in the grasp of Gonz fever last week as adidas' touring '15 Years of Gonz and adidas' exhibition reached Australian shores.
The exhibition combines shots of the great man from a select core of legendary skate photographers, along with exhibits showcasing the evolution of the Gonzales shoe, which also includes the newest shoes in the range.
I was lucky enough to get a few shots at the exhibition's launch night which brought out an eclectic crowd of all ages, that showed after 15 years adidas and Gonz are continuining to go from strength to strength!

Red Bull Wreckers Yard - Art Exhibition

Our good friends at Red Bull extended an invite to last night's Wreckers Yard Art Exhibition.
The campaign was a search for the best street artists from across Australia, and last night the colour and style of the street art scene descended on the Red Bull Gallery for a night of celebration.
The centrepieces of the evening where the winning pieces, as well as an impromptu wall mural that was put together in front of the guests.

The walls were not the only thing thing that caught my attention as the crowd had enough style and colour to make it a great night.  The fun crowd were happy to pose for some party pics as they got into the swing of painting the town red (pun intended), of course all fuelled by Red Bull!
