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…

hammer no more the fingers @ tir na nog

hammer no more the fingers @ tir na nog, originally uploaded by minervacat. Some nights you suck because you suck. Some nights you suck because the 506’s lighting scheme sucks. Some night I suck because I drank too many Long Islands. And some nights you suck because the lead singer says, no, can we turn…

red collar @ the pour house

red collar @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. One of the subjects in my photography that I get the most questions about is the startling number of shots of shoes, and feet, in my Flickr stream — specifically, the large number of shots of rock star shoes on stage, and random teenager shoes…

green #26

green #26, originally uploaded by minervacat. A couple of uninspired, flat shooting days since Saturday night. Partially the weather — too hot Sunday to bother much with shooting the baseball game — and partially the drag of job hunting and trying to keep my mood up as I job hunt. But this cupcake was delicious,…

print sale!

twilight, carrboro, originally uploaded by minervacat. I’m happy to say that I’m running a print sale with my friend Ash. You can purchase any of the photos Ash has posted or any I have, but we’d suggest starting with our favorite photos for easier browsing. Ash’s favorites are here & here. My favorites are here…

american aquarium @ the pour house

american aquarium @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. Saturday night I shot American Aquarium’s CD release show at the Pour House in Raleigh; a year and a half ago, when I was just starting to edge into the scene in the Triangle as a photographer, American Aquarium were the first local band I…

baseball: maryland @ unc, game 2

baseball: maryland @ unc, game 2, originally uploaded by minervacat. This blog post is not about taking photos. This blog post is about baseball, and boys I love. Friday was likely Alex White’s final regular season home start as a Tar Heel — he’ll be drafted (very) high in the first round in June; some…
