grey market @ mansion 462, originally uploaded by minervacat. Apparently what I needed to break myself out of what felt like a massive shooting slump was a show shooting a band who I’m hoping to do some promo work for, and a band who used nothing but spinning, color-shifting lights in an otherwise dark room,…

i do not know what kind of bird this is.
i do not know what kind of bird this is., originally uploaded by minervacat. Still restless and frustrated by my recent shooting, or rather, lack thereof and lack of inspiration thereof. The last ten days of May and all of June should be great, but it’s the getting there that’s killing me. Trying to find…
baseball: unc @ nc state
baseball: unc @ nc state, originally uploaded by minervacat. Having a down on myself, frustrated-and-frustrating sort of day, and I keep looking at this picture, if only to remind myself that at least thousands of people aren’t watching when I fail all over the place. On the other hand, I am never going to be…
bynum, north carolina
bynum, north carolina, originally uploaded by minervacat. We’ve spent a lot of time puttering around in Chatham County recently — Chatham being the county that abuts Orange County, home to the CH and Carrboro, on the … southeast edge? I have to go look at a map to figure that out — and it’s really…

wes phillips @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. Photos of drummers never look the way drums sound, to me. I suppose that’s a given because, well, two different senses, but I love shooting drummers — so much movement! so much interesting gear! — and sometimes I’m frustrated by my inability to capture the way…
the gaslight anthem @ cat’s cradle
the gaslight anthem @ cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. An utterly kickass show. The ’59 Sound is great; Gaslight Anthem’s live set is even better.
lookout mountain, chattanooga, tennessee
lookout mountain, chattanooga, tennessee, originally uploaded by minervacat. Gloomy and drizzly today, so no real chance to get out and shoot — another one from the archives, this time a little more recent. Taken on a there-and-back 48 hour road trip to Chattanooga back in March, the weather that weekend was almost as miserable as…
isle of palms, south carolina
isle of palms, south carolina, originally uploaded by minervacat. One from the archives; Isle of Palms, April ’08. Nikon F65, Kodak 800ISO. This is where I’d rather be today, but instead of running off to the beach, I’m drinking coffee and applying for day jobs at the local coffee shop. You do what you gotta…
chatham county: haw river state park
chatham county: haw river state park, originally uploaded by minervacat. Wonderfully secret — although, I suspect, not secret to Chatham County teenagers looking to drink illegally — clearing by the Haw River, at the end of a 3/4 mile hike. Although if it were me, I would not swim in the Haw, but apparently some…
the love language @ local 506
the love language @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. The Love Language is going to be huge, so I’m glad I’ve had the chance to shoot them in small venues — the 506, supporting the Rosebuds at the Cradle back in January — while I could. The album doesn’t do them justice; go download…
