Just a couple pictures from my friend Brandon’s band. You can check them out here. They’re pretty sick. Couldn’t move a whole lot; it was a show in a basement that realistically could hold about 20 people with probably 60 people down there. Whole show was lit by a single lightbulb. I wouldn’t have come [...]
I figured out pretty quickly to not sign up to shoot shows featuring bands I actually wanted to see, because I just can’t pay any attention to, much less enjoy, the music while I’m shooting. There’s just too much to be thinking about, too many variables to keep track of. But I didn’t intend for [...]

I mean, I generally only shoot bands I have at least a passing interest in, so it’s not the music, it’s just that you can only take so many pictures of a dude sitting there with an acoustic guitar.

Wesley Willis’ birthday was May 31st. I meant to post this then, but spaced it. This video is amazing.
Adam and I have been recording some crap lately in his living room on this sweet 15-year-old 4 track that has a built-in room mic. We haven’t really been doing any overdubbing with it, just writing songs and running through them a couple times live. It’s pretty fun, especially since I haven’t messed with (let [...]
