A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of shooting my first show since November -- which, rather pathetically, was my lost post on here -- for a band called lowercaseletters. I'd shot them at the Black Cat Backstage last July, and while this venue should've offered much better lighting and more opportunities for better pictures, the results were rather mixed. Not sure if it was my lack of shooting recently or what, but it ain't my best work.
Fistful of Mercy -- Ben Harper's new side project with Dhani Harrison (son of the late Beatle George) and Joseph Arthur -- visited the 6th & I Historic Synagogue in DC on Tuesday night to support their first album entitled As I Call You Down.
It was only my second time shooting in the unique venue, which makes for some great photos. Below are some my favorites, with a few more on Flickr.
A few months ago, I met up with two former college roommates of mine, one of whom was telling us about her upcoming wedding on the island of St. John (part of the US Virgin Islands). After discussing the photography that was part of their planned package and all that was involved (cost and otherwise), I brought up the idea of having me be their photographer instead.
Long story short, that's what happened. My wife and I flew down on a Wednesday in late October, spent a few days in paradise and watched a good friend tie the knot, all with camera in tow. The experience was a great one and taught me a lot about shooting everything from the preparation through the reception. I'd only shot one wedding before (and it was a few years ago, before I knew a lot of what I know now) and this was definitely a step up from what I'd done in the past.
Below are some of my favorites, while more can be found on Pictage (sorry... if you want to view them, you have to register).
Congrats, Tash & Pete!
The drought is over: after a few months with little activity on the shooting front, I had the opportunity last night to check out 3 very cool bands at The Black Cat here in DC. The show was shot for Pinna Storm, a local music review site started by a former music editor for DCist (I'll edit this post and add a link to the review when it's available).
Below are a few pictures, with more found on Flickr here, here and here.
Working backwards, the headliner of the night was The Love Language, a band from Raleigh, North Carolina:
Playing in the middle slot was Lost In The Trees, another NC-based band (this one from Chapel Hill):
And finally -- not really finally, as they opened -- was Cincinnati, Ohio's Pomegranates:
The following pictures were taken on my recent trip to New Mexico with a Holga 120CFN (using 120mm film). To view some more, click here.
