bowerbirds @ duke gardens, originally uploaded by minervacat. Proof that you don’t need an SLR to take solid concert shots, just decent lighting. From the Duke Gardens concert series last summer, taken with my Coolpix L3. Off to Duke Gardens again tonight for a set by Megafaun, free tickets courtesy of Triangle Music; the Gardens…

it’s good to eat green things
it’s good to eat green things, originally uploaded by minervacat. My current favorite dinner recipe: Chicken Cashew Asparagus Stir-Fry. Faaaaaantastic. Although last night my preparation of it started out with a grease fire. No chickens or asparaguses or cashews were lost, but a really good pan might have been. This is why I’m not allowed…
megafaun @ TRKfest 2009
megafaun @ TRKfest 2009, originally uploaded by minervacat. God love my 50 mm f1.8 lens; it is really, really, really the best thing I’ve bought this year and that includes the new car. This shot was taken well after midnight on an outdoor stage that had about 25% of the lights you’d optimally like to…
embarrassing fruits @ TRKfest 2009
embarrassing fruits @ TRKfest 2009, originally uploaded by minervacat. I’m really not cut out to be a full-time pro concert photographer — for one thing, the festivals would kill me: I’m into indoor bathrooms, sleeping in real beds, and showering regularly, plus by about hour five on day one of Bonnaroo I’d want to murder…
on and on
on and on, originally uploaded by minervacat. Went home to Baltimore for a nice low-key vacation, and the Stump received a diagnosis of “rolling death trap, must be replaced immediately”. That’s the odometer reading from when I pulled into the CarMax lot: 40,000 of those miles came with the Stump when my dad bought him…

baseball: norfolk tides @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. I think that in many ways, playing minor league baseball must be tremendously lonely.

baseball: kinston indians @ winston-salem dash, originally uploaded by minervacat. Went to Winston-Salem last night to see one of our best beloved ex-Tar Heels play center field for Kinston. Timmy had a great game and the Wake Forest baseball stadium is tiny and aging in a lovely Southern way, and it was just a nice…
american aquarium @ the pour house
american aquarium @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. From last December, not the CD release party. One of the best shots I’ve ever snapped with my 70-210mm lens in any concert venue, ever, and especially in the dark, weird Pour House. That lens really only does well outside in sunshine — it’s my…
holy ghost tent revival @ trekky records studio
holy ghost tent revival @ trekky records studio, originally uploaded by minervacat. One of my favorite shots of hands from this year. There were a lot of good things about shooting Holy Ghost in the studio earlier this year, but one of the best ones was that none of them asked me what I was…
wednesday morning three am
wednesday morning three am, originally uploaded by minervacat. When I embarked on my year of month-long daily photo projects, I had no idea that I was going to get laid off at the end of April and spend May and June totally isolated in my apartment job-hunting. It was easy enough to take on projects…
