Freelance photographer, holder of season tickets to the University of North Carolina baseball and women's basketball teams, Master of Library Science, civil servant. I like rock music, sweet tea, pedal steel played well, Fuji 1600 ISO film, the Band & the Rolling Stones, old cemeteries, vintage dresses, my 17 year old Doc Martens and my Chippewa motorcycle boots, houseplants, rangefinder 35mm film cameras and Holgas, North Carolina beaches, pitching and defense, Matt Wieters, and chili cheese hotdogs.
If you're interested in having me shoot your band (or a band you represent), write about an album you released, or are an out-of-towner looking for someone to play with in Chapel Hill, you can email me at asdonkar AT gmail .
I write and shoot for
Speakers In Code . I curate
a Twitter list of NC musicians, venues, labels and other assorted local scene ephemerals.
Look, I'm kinda spoiled since I moved to the south, and I really can't cope with any weather that requires me to wear shoes any more, ok? ... If the people can't come to North Carolina, then we must bring North Carolina to the people! -- John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats, 01.03.08
Novel Sounds is one of my top albums of the year.
