Adioso @ the hive Melbourne | Melbourne Photographer

Once a month I photograph the Hive events at the order of Melbourne. Hive is a networking event for entrepreneurs.  Each month they get entrepreneaurs to speak about what they’ve done and how they got there.  It is really interesting to hear about sucessful entrepreneurs got to where they are today.  The speakers are usually brutally honest about how hard they’ve worked, how much they’ve struggled and luckily how rewarding it all ends up being.

The most recent Hive event’s guest speakers were Tom and Fenn from Adioso. Adioso is a fully flexible and natural language flight tool.  Basically, it is an awesome way to find and book flights online.  I’ve personally used it numerous times and can’t stop raving about it…It just makes so much sense.  You can type really vague searches such as Melbourne to Japan in October and it finds you all the discount flights for that route in October instead of having to search specifically for each airport in Japan or every date in October.

I actually first met Tom and Fenn about a year ago and they are just lovely down to earth guys who on a backpacking trip came up with an idea…  So support adioso.com and keep an eye on their story as I am sure it will be the next big thing…

The Hive Event | Event Photographer Melbourne

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Last night I took photographs for the Hive’s monthly networking event for entrepreneurs. The Hive is really cool as it is free to attend, very relaxed and held monthly in Melbourne and Brisbane.  Each month they also have a speaker making it worth going, if you want to get inspired!  Last night was the founder of Flexicar, Monique Conheady.  Flexicar is an awesome car sharing initiative.  Check it out if you are considering a new car, only need a second car occasionally or want a cost effective alternative to Taxis or rental cars.  It might save you money and the added bonus is it’s great for the environment!

Back to The Hive…

The guys had been taking photos of the event on their iphones, which “surprisingly” they weren’t getting images that illustrated the relaxed atmosphere of the event or the crowds they were pulling in.  So along came me… and even though I had an iphone in my pocket, I used my slr to capture a few images (some seen in this post) which I think might better illustrate the event…

Leave a comment if you’d like to defend the iphone’s camera quality!
