trkfest 2010: hammer no more the fingers, originally uploaded by minervacat. The radio station that I often listen to whilst driving to and from work, when I am too lazy to plug my iPod in or change the CD so it’s not the same CD we’ve been listening to for three weeks straight, has spent…

bowerbirds @ duke gardens
bowerbirds @ duke gardens, originally uploaded by minervacat. Shooting outside drives me crazy; I’m never as happy with my shots after outdoor concerts as I’d like to be. The light’s wrong, the angle’s wrong, people get up and walk through the shots I feel like I frame decently. Or I don’t want to get up…

bowerbirds @ duke gardens, originally uploaded by minervacat. Second verse, same as the first — I took this two years ago with my Coolpix, the first time I ever saw Bowerbirds play. One of the few concert shots I took with that camera that I’m still proud of. It rained buckets that night, and they…
what is important what’s really important
langhorne slim @ cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. i haven’t finished a thing since i started my life/i don’t feel much like starting now Over this past weekend, and the week before that, I’ve had multiple conversations with multiple people about the things that are making me craziest right now — and one of…
totally work-safe smut for photographers!
holy ghost tent revival @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. Stopped at the public library to pick up a few holds on my way home today, and walked out with a copy of Todd Gustavson’s Camera, which I am planning to spend the evening rolling around in, in a totally undignified fashion. Man oh…
blair @ the cave
blair @ the cave, originally uploaded by minervacat. Blair was excellent. The light at the Cave was, well, cave-like. Crappy light + 1600ISO + 1/10 shutter speed + f1.8 + post-processing = grain in your images like you’re shooting film. Except it’s digital, so you don’t even get the satisfaction of knowing you wrung something…
on over-thinking, staying grounded, and robert mapplethorpe
holy ghost tent revival @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. I am one of those people whose mind generally moves faster than she can keep up with it. I am constantly thinking, constantly cooking up ideas and projects and making lists of things to do and see and eat and listen to and achieve…
brothers in arms: jonny and joah
Supporting the local music scene anywhere means a lot of things; sometimes you see the bands who are about to blow up in tiny venues before anyone knows who they are, sometimes you find a band to love that you would never have heard of if you lived anywhere other than where you do. You…
one last for national poetry month
frightened rabbit @ cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. Yours & Mine (Alice Fulton) Through your lens the sequoia swallowed me like a dryad. The camera flashed & forgot. I, on the other hand, must practice my absent- mindedness, memory being awkward as a touch that goes unloved. Lately your eyes have shut down to…
baseball: fsu @ unc, game two
baseball: fsu @ unc, game two, originally uploaded by minervacat. Baseball photography. Since I launched this blog a year ago today, with a photo of an occasionally idiotic third baseman and a brief discussion of baseball photography, what better way to celebrate a year than more baseball photography talk? Obviously I take a lot of…
