J.Tionowidjaja: Lydia (USA) and Line Up @ Amplifier, 18th January 2012

I can never believe each opportunity until I have photo proof of it. On the 18th of January 2012, I was approved through FASTERLOUDER to take photos for USA band, Lydia, to shoot for their "Paint It Golden" Australian Tour @ Amplifier. First time shooting there, the lights were unbelievable, people were friendly and bands were awesome. Sophie Joy, TV Snow and Place of Indigo lined up to support the band.

I was so nervous before the show, I'm glad you couldn't see it on the other side of the camera, but I hope the shots were good enough. I was extremely stoked when Lydia uploaded two of my photos onto their page. I was able to take the photos 3 songs into their show, and I couldn't believe how much I didn't need to edit because the stage lights were amazing!

I have been getting unlimited support from friends and family, and it means a tonne when anyone likes a photo or even takes more than a second to look at it. My dream is not only have the opportunities to take photos of bands that I love, and create everlasting memories of them, but to be able to share an inspiration, an idea or a belief that dreaming is possible when you work hard.

Thank you so much for dropping by, whether I know you or not, I'm so grateful for it.
