carrboro farmer’s market, originally uploaded by minervacat. A few weeks ago, shep. shared this New York Times article on people who photograph their food on Google Reader, and I just wanted to echo her sentiment from the original share: food photography on that level will make you a lunatic, and I still both miss it…

carrboro farmer’s market
carrboro farmer’s market, originally uploaded by minervacat. Of all the 12,000 photos I have on Flickr, dating back to 2003 when I got my first digital camera, I think that my Carrboro Farmer’s Market set best shows how I’ve grown up as a photographer; because it’s a set of a manageable size, but it’s also…

drive-by truckers @ the national, richmond, va, originally uploaded by minervacat. We always see with memory. — David Hockney Jim Marshall, one of the premier rock and roll photographers in the world, passed away today at the age of 74. Marshall shot everyone from Hendrix to the jazz greats to the ’70s San Francisco scene,…
the big picture promo photoshoot
My friend Jonny is a lunatic. A funny, brilliant, good-hearted lunatic with huge ideas, but a lunatic all the same. And he’d agree with me on that assessment, so I don’t feel bad saying it in public. I spent yesterday afternoon perched on a ladder taking promo shots for his new project, the Big Picture….
lucero @ aquarius music hall, high point
If this had just been a Lucero set in High Point, I’d probably have skipped it — rolled my eyes at their booker and stayed home to drink beer and watch the Olympics. But Lucero and Glossary? Oh, hell, no, I wasn’t missing that. Glossary put out one of the finest albums of 2008 for…
american aquarium @ local 506
How do you shoot a band you’ve shot a dozen times before, without feeling like everything’s flat and already been done? Look for new angles, I guess. And hope somebody needs a haircut.

yanks @ o’s, originally uploaded by minervacat. I resolve to get up to my hometown to take more photos this year; Baltimore is a weird, gorgeous, decaying city, and I never give it enough credit. (It’ll have to be after mid-June, though. February through mid-June are sort of consumed by baseball already. As it is…

holden beach, nc — christmas 2009, originally uploaded by minervacat. I love urban exploration photography; the decay and abandonment of places that used to house humanity is so striking and gorgeous, when handled by the right photographer. I do not do more of it myself for three reasons: a) I live in perma-surburbia, b) fifteen…
shooting film & toy cameras
ncaa baseball regional, originally uploaded by minervacat. I’ve said before that my first SLR, once I got serious about shooting in 2008, was a Nikon F65 film SLR that my friend Michelle sent me, and I’ve talked about my film learning curve before — learned very little about the technicalities of photography, learned a shitload…
