lost in the trees @ gerrard hall, originally uploaded by minervacat. The shutter on Six seized up irreperably last night, mid-Lost in the Trees set, and so tomorrow she is off to Nikon to slip in under her warranty and, in all likelihood, have her CPU replaced. I had an evening’s worth of massive freaking…

langhorne slim — be set free
langhorne slim @ the cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. Langhorne Slim — Be Set Free. 9/29, Kemado Records. I can’t believe I haven’t written about this album before, but: man, what a fucking great album. It’s hard for me to put words down about Langhorne, because on the surface — guy with a guitar,…
wrightsville beach
wrightsville beach, originally uploaded by minervacat. This is for Heather. It’s a lesson in the power of a point and shoot; I took this shot lying upside down on a blanket at the beach, just leaned back, looked at what was behind me, framed it, and clicked. No metering, no thinking, just go. I probably…
american aquarium @ the pour house
american aquarium @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. I almost included this in last week’s inspiration post, but I realized I wanted to pull it out and talk about it on its own, because it really hit home with me. Day19 is the photoblog of pro photographers Jeremy and Claire Weiss, and I’m…
west point on the eno
west point on the eno, originally uploaded by minervacat. Second test run with the 100mm today, farting around with Ash and shep. at West Point Park on the Eno River in Durham, and I’m still loving it. It’s incredibly crisp, the depth of field I can get is unbelievable, and it just grabs color so…

weesefest 2009 @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir — … And The Horse You Rode In On. My friend Amy turned me on to these guys a few years back — at least before the Franklin Street Schoolkids closed, because The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir was the last CD…
an acoustic evening with trekky records
an acoustic evening with trekky records, originally uploaded by minervacat. I’m finding myself, this week, thinking about promotional photography pretty intensely — what makes a good promo photo, how to develop and pursue ideas and concepts in shooting promos, what I can do to make taking promos an experience that’s rewarding for me as a…
the spikedrivers @ the blind tiger
the spikedrivers @ the blind tiger, originally uploaded by minervacat. This one’s for Jess. I like to take pictures of the things that musicians carry onto stage with them; a cell phone set down next to a guitar pedal, a plastic cup of whiskey on the edge of a railing. It’s a tiny human part…
