that little girl, so hot she’s scalding
Don’t worry, I’m just having my semi-regular Ha Ha Tonka related head injury. This time prompted by their upcoming new record, which is still two months away from being in my hands, a fact that is currently driving me up a wall.

Back in 2008, I met a bunch of kids from Greensboro who called themselves Holy Ghost Tent Revival, and with whose music shep. and I immediately fell in love with. Over the next two and a half years, we saw HGTR play probably upwards of 50 times, all over the Southeast. We drove to Norfolk…
family: redheads downstairs
Putting together some test shots for branching into family photography — unlike musicians, who are lovely humans but also almost always broke, families have money for photos. Just a supplement, not a replacement. This adorable 18 month old lives downstairs. She and her parents let me do a test shoot with them, where we all…
