Rumors Of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

Ed Roper — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 18:52:20 +0000

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 ::

I’m not dead

At least not yet. Doctors, Surgeons, and consultations, oh my!

Anyway, here is some pics from new friends Hezekiah Jones and The Sisters 3 ( in celebration of their CD release party ). Friday night, at Johnny Brendas. Also got to run into Greg from Iron, who I posted about in the previous entry “Serious Bass Face”. Click any of the pictures to go to my Flickr page, and see some more.

Spent a wonderful afternoon with a great folk music singer, and my new friend Hezekiah Jones ( hezekiahjones.com ) aka Raphael Cutrufello. He is getting lots of very well deserved praised in and around the Philadelphia music scene as well as across the country. You will be hearing more from this great guy, keep a look out. These are just two out of a couple great shots ( still being processed ).

Been lacking in posts lately, but not for a lack of activity. Actually behind on posting a few shows.

Regardless, fresh from a promo shoot with the South Philly hip-hop collective, South Broad at their home base. Just a sample from the 4 hour long shoot. Keep an eye out for more to be posted as they are edited.

Travel the bodies of water to the port o’brien

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.

hop on the hot spot

Aderbat holds the keys to my heart

Ed Roper — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 01:28:04 +0000

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.
