embarrassing fruits @ TRKfest 2009, originally uploaded by minervacat. TRKFest was a highlight of 2009 for me; tomorrow, after the US soccer game, we’ll do it all over again in 2010. Read about the festival here and then get your butt out to Pittsboro tomorrow to catch the whole thing. I recommend bringing sunscreen, water,…

bowerbirds @ duke gardens
bowerbirds @ duke gardens, originally uploaded by minervacat. Shooting outside drives me crazy; I’m never as happy with my shots after outdoor concerts as I’d like to be. The light’s wrong, the angle’s wrong, people get up and walk through the shots I feel like I frame decently. Or I don’t want to get up…
bowerbirds @ duke gardens
bowerbirds @ duke gardens, originally uploaded by minervacat. Second verse, same as the first — I took this two years ago with my Coolpix, the first time I ever saw Bowerbirds play. One of the few concert shots I took with that camera that I’m still proud of. It rained buckets that night, and they…
tell her i’ve been wasted since last week
carrboro farmer’s market, originally uploaded by minervacat. “But, – and there it is, – we want to live and move, though we have no reason to, because it happens that it is the nature of life to live and move, to want to live and move. If it were not for this, life would be…

yanks @ o’s, originally uploaded by minervacat. When I was small — single-digited, in fact — my father taught me how to keep a baseball scorecard. I like to tell people that it was so I would sit still at games, and pay attention, but I think it was really because he knew how, and…
hillsborough hog days
hillsborough hog days, originally uploaded by minervacat. This goat was comfortable: he was pretty sure that he wasn’t going to be eaten at an event called Hog Days. They went through 3000 pounds of barbecue by 2pm on Saturday. We stopped at Allen & Son on the way home from Hillsborough to get our fix…
55 on 86
55 on 86, originally uploaded by minervacat. Summer makes me lazy about posting. And shooting. And basically doing anything but lying on the couch like a lazy slob. Our air conditioning, or rather lack thereof, which up until this evening was not so much “air conditioning” as “trying futilely and failing miserably to air condition”,…
the gaslight anthem — american slang
the Gaslight Anthem, American Slang. Out 6/15, SideOneDummy Records. Let’s get this out of the way first, because it’s the only thing reviews will be able to talk about until it’s said: American Slang is not as good an album as The ’59 Sound. And now, lest you think everything else I say is a…
baseball: gwinnett braves @ durham bulls
baseball: gwinnett braves @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. Thirty. Rain delay and all — I was given a damn good ticket and I used it to take a lot of clooooose up photos.
