lost in the trees @ cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. I absolutely killed it shooting Lost in the Trees last night at the Cradle, in part because the light was great, in part because they’re all crazy-comfortable with my camera and I’m crazy-comfortable with them, in part because any 13-person indie pop chamber orchestra…

samantha crain & the midnight shivers @ the local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. Joe Kwan (of the Avett Brothers) and Dolph Ramseur (of, well, Ramseur Records) were at the show I went to at the 506 last night. It was vaguely weird in a way I couldn’t put my finger on; it’s not like…
patterns #8
patterns #8, originally uploaded by minervacat. The carpet in a Courtyard Marriott in Savannah, Georgia. I took this as part of my patterns series — and I’m really enjoying that; it is, so far, one of the most fun series I’ve done this year — because I draw this pattern. It’s my standard meeting-notes-margin doodle….

american aquarium @ the cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. I’m always glad when these boys come home for a while, because I miss them when they’re on the road. I miss them as people, I miss their live shows, I miss their comfort with my camera. They’re good dudes, and we had a blast…

jonny’s birthday party, originally uploaded by minervacat. An unexpectedly nice thing about Jonny’s birthday party last weekend was being in a casual social setting with people who are comfortable enough with my camera — from having it pointed at them on stage regularly, or seeing me point it at a stage — that they mostly…

jonny’s birthday party, originally uploaded by minervacat. “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman…
weesefest 2009: american aquarium @ the pour house
weesefest 2009: american aquarium @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. Happy 4th of July, y’all. I recommend celebrating the independence of this country with country music, bourbon, and pies with bourbon in them, but you do what you gotta do; my word’s sure not law, or even strong suggestion.
the ginger envelope @ local 506
the ginger envelope @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. Sometimes the trouble is that none of the photos I took last night look remotely the way that Matt Stoessel’s soaring pedal steel sounds in a mostly-empty 506, or feels in that soft spot under my rib cage. A lot of bands use the pedal…
pattern #1
pattern #1, originally uploaded by minervacat. My July photo project is patterns. The best thing about being re-employment is that I’m looking forward to having a routine. There is actually such a thing as too much free time — or at least there is when you don’t have independent wealth to supplement your free time.
