baseball: norfolk tides @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. Tonight, sitting on my porch in the damp twilight listening to the Dexateens and smushing mosquitos, every minute I spend without a camera in my hands feels wasted. It’s only almost August, not almost January, but I’m making a lot of resolutions in my head…

american aquarium @ tir na nog
american aquarium @ tir na nog, originally uploaded by minervacat. There were things I was going to post about — how Whit (hands seen here) hates my camera and always peers at it suspiciously like it’s about to steal his soul but how it often makes for the best photos I take of American Aquarium,…
lost in the trees @ cat’s cradle
lost in the trees @ cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. I absolutely killed it shooting Lost in the Trees last night at the Cradle, in part because the light was great, in part because they’re all crazy-comfortable with my camera and I’m crazy-comfortable with them, in part because any 13-person indie pop chamber orchestra…
patterns #8
patterns #8, originally uploaded by minervacat. The carpet in a Courtyard Marriott in Savannah, Georgia. I took this as part of my patterns series — and I’m really enjoying that; it is, so far, one of the most fun series I’ve done this year — because I draw this pattern. It’s my standard meeting-notes-margin doodle….
jonny’s birthday party
jonny’s birthday party, originally uploaded by minervacat. An unexpectedly nice thing about Jonny’s birthday party last weekend was being in a casual social setting with people who are comfortable enough with my camera — from having it pointed at them on stage regularly, or seeing me point it at a stage — that they mostly…

the ginger envelope @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. Sometimes the trouble is that none of the photos I took last night look remotely the way that Matt Stoessel’s soaring pedal steel sounds in a mostly-empty 506, or feels in that soft spot under my rib cage. A lot of bands use the pedal…
pattern #1
pattern #1, originally uploaded by minervacat. My July photo project is patterns. The best thing about being re-employment is that I’m looking forward to having a routine. There is actually such a thing as too much free time — or at least there is when you don’t have independent wealth to supplement your free time.
drive-by truckers @ the cat’s cradle
drive-by truckers @ the cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. Another from the archives; Patterson Hood of the Drive-By Truckers at the Cat’s Cradle, May 2008. Patterson’s long-delayed second solo album, Murdering Oscar (And Other Love Songs), came out last week; I’m finally listening to it and it’s fabulous. Also, this is a film shot…

holy ghost tent revival @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. “A photograph is a secret within a secret. The more is shows, the less you know.” — from The Brothers Bloom

holy ghost tent revival @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. One of the things I’m always trying to capture when I shoot shows is pure, unadulterated joy.
