Look into my National Eye

posted on January 31st, 2009 ·

I’ve been on a doctor ordered sabbatical from any heavy lifting, thus no serious studio shots for a while. Until today.

Worked with a wonderful group from Philly called National Eye. They are on Park The Van Records (the same label as Dr Dog ) and have an album out called “The Farthest Shore”. You should check it out. Good people, and we enjoyed wonderful potatoe samosas afterwords.

Additionally, more rumours of my demise have been exaggerated even more so

posted on December 19th, 2008 ·

It’s been a hectic couple of months. I still break out the camera, just not as often. I’ve been involved in other ventures both personal, and musical. In the mean time, enjoy this capture from a couple weeks ago. It’s one of my most favorite artists, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson .

Rumors Of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

posted on November 1st, 2008 ·

Contrary to what the Google WebBot may think, I am indeed still alive. Had to take pretty much a whole month off due to some medical business. Good times. But I’m back, and shooting.

Enjoy some pics from last weeks /passenger show with the great opener Joshua Park ::

Travel the bodies of water to the port o’brien

posted on August 20th, 2008 ·

Ah Ha! Finally a title that combines two bands , who actually go well together. Or something. Anyway, last friday night 8.16.08, at Johnny Brendas, Bodies of Water, and the awesome opener, Port O’Brien. Said to be M. Ward’s favorite band, Port O’Brien kicked all forms of ass.

Have some stuff going on and haven’t been able to post or shoot much lately. So in the mean time, say hi to my old friend Macy. She was a good dog, but when I moved out of my house I had to let her go stay with a friend. Shes now with her best dogfriend, bailey. It’s for the better.

Can you believe this was shot on that stuff they call “film”? And digitized with this ancient contraption known as a “scanner”. I survived the stone ages.

Aderbat holds the keys to my heart

posted on July 27th, 2008 ·

I can’t speak highly of these guys enough. Everything they make is just golden to me. One of my most favorite bands, ever. And you’ve probably never heard of them. Until now. These photos from this show are probably some of the best I’ve ever done, in my opinion. That’s the power good music I absolutely love has over me and my creative vision.

I’m making a habit out of this…

posted on July 20th, 2008 ·

Didn’t I just shoot this same guitar last sunday? Oh well, regardless. There’s a heat wave on so nobody in their right mind wants to go shoot outside. Or leave their house for that matter. So hey, I was productive.

Go around your house looking for stuff to shoot, thats what.

This was done in my home, on my couch with a black sheet form Evil*Mart (purchased long ago, I don’t go there anymore ).
