If you believe the scribes it gets so's all you remember's the music, head crazed out on hip dreams and borrowed nostalgia.

Beesley's lens cuts through the hyperbole of these wild lost weekends, through it's burnt skin and coke-addled innuendos; its rough edges shorn clean with the honesty of a fan, the intimacy of a friend, and the poetry of an artist.

It's this ethos that first caught the eye of Rolling Stone magazine. If rock n roll is the collected voices of the outsiders, then Dane’s camera; its Egglestonian frankness, immediacy, and oft-kilter worldview, is their microphone.

Panoramas. The Road. New York Buck. Dane's solo exhibitions are art imitating life imitating art. It's Kerouac's broke-down Chevy. It's Bukowski's underfed dog. It's food stamps and rot-gut. It's sleeping in friend's garden beds or kitted-out bathtubs. Its rock n roll as religion rather than mythology.

Originally from Brisbane home to the Saints, the Go-Betweens and more recently Powderfinger, Dane has worked with artists from all over the world. Before he was in London, New York and Japan his photos were gracing the covers of Brisbane street press magazines among others, leading to a residency at local arts hub Metro Arts, publication in Brisbane's premier weekend edition the Sunday Mail, and eventually Rolling Stone Magazine.

Beesley’s first book titled Splitting the Seconds: A Photographer’s Journal was released in July 2011.
