Noel Graydon

Noel Graydon, the Australian fetish photographer, died aged 36 last Saturday (7 July 2007) from heart failure. Discovering the perv scene in his 20s Noel became a fixture on the Sydney social scene, photographing the world of the alternative, the queer, the fetish folk and sometimes just the odd folk he found on the street. After some time spent as Master Venom, a professional dominant, Noel returned to his first love - showing in several local galleries with the exhibition “Liberty in Restraint”.

The title of the exhibition was to become the name of Micheal Ney’s documentary “Liberty In Restraint”, a journey through the Sydney perv scene through Noel’s eyes and his personal journey into addiction and back (reviewed Skin Two issue 52).

More recently Noel’s photography had been featured in Skin Two (Cream, issue 55) and he had produced a series of fetish podcasts including an interview with Tim Woodward in Sydney, Australia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bCErajBZvs)

At the time of his death Noel was about to launch an exhibition at Abode, Melbourne featuring both classic images and new work from the past year.

He is survived by his wife Annette and his 2 children, Neisha and Zoe.

His talent, spirit, optimism and glib sense of humour will be missed by all those who knew him.

hah. we're on a roll this year. so far we've performed and seen each other a bunch of new places.
Denver - that was fun! thanks to corachaos for letting us do it, and for a very relaxing bday week.
London - May for the TG bday. wow. fabulous! But will October be as good? I wonder...
Athens - OK. no performance, even though i got lots of emails asking if we were doing one from locals.
Tampa - in a month at fetishcon. yikes. performing in front of peers! we'll have to come up with something different!
Christchurch - my first trip to New Zealand. I'm afraid of what the jetlag will be like! Let's see if we can follow up with Australia the next weekend!

i've been wondering. each time i end up attending an event or something similar, the promoters often add the country as well. Should I really be using "USA" since i'm not actually there all that much?!?
