The Many Meanings of The Ides of March & His and Hers ... In the middle of March Media Dragon has acquired a cheeky piece of photography by Natasha Murray (Tash) who is an emerging documentary/art photographer who lives and works in Sydney. Falling on the 15th of March, May, July, and October, or the 13th day of any other month, the ides signified the middle of the month on the Roman calendar. But Media Dragon is guessing that’s not the only context that you’ve heard it in before.
His & Hers a Story of our Life in Congested Sydney
Tash has exhibited in group shows in Sydney and Melbourne, and her work is held in private collections in Australia and New Zealand.
Tash is a finalist in the 23rd Muswellbrook Photographic Award. Amazing ... The View from Mandalay Hill
Bohemian Coda: The most legendary Czech rock band is reviving one of their seminal pieces of music for a performance that promises to be one of the highlights of the year.

The concert is a fitting, if belated, cap to the "Week of Charter 77," which celebrated the 35th anniversary of the legendary political document, in which The Plastic People of the Universe played an important role.Legendary Czech rockers play with an orchestra: Charter 77
