lost in the trees @ open eye cafe, originally uploaded by minervacat. There’s things I struggle with in concert photography that aren’t related to photography specifically, per se, or venue lighting, or any of those things — and sometimes the non-photography-related struggles I have bug me more than the actual photography related ones. Like the…

acc baseball tournament: clemson vs. unc
acc baseball tournament: clemson vs. unc, originally uploaded by minervacat. After spending three of the last four days shooting the ACC tournament, a relevant link showed up in my RSS feeds … this morning: Digital Photography School on How To Shoot Baseball. No advice on the exact technical specs for metering under stadium lights, which…
grey market @ mansion 462
grey market @ mansion 462, originally uploaded by minervacat. Apparently what I needed to break myself out of what felt like a massive shooting slump was a show shooting a band who I’m hoping to do some promo work for, and a band who used nothing but spinning, color-shifting lights in an otherwise dark room,…
i do not know what kind of bird this is.
i do not know what kind of bird this is., originally uploaded by minervacat. Still restless and frustrated by my recent shooting, or rather, lack thereof and lack of inspiration thereof. The last ten days of May and all of June should be great, but it’s the getting there that’s killing me. Trying to find…

wes phillips @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. Photos of drummers never look the way drums sound, to me. I suppose that’s a given because, well, two different senses, but I love shooting drummers — so much movement! so much interesting gear! — and sometimes I’m frustrated by my inability to capture the way…
lookout mountain, chattanooga, tennessee
lookout mountain, chattanooga, tennessee, originally uploaded by minervacat. Gloomy and drizzly today, so no real chance to get out and shoot — another one from the archives, this time a little more recent. Taken on a there-and-back 48 hour road trip to Chattanooga back in March, the weather that weekend was almost as miserable as…
hammer no more the fingers @ tir na nog
hammer no more the fingers @ tir na nog, originally uploaded by minervacat. Some nights you suck because you suck. Some nights you suck because the 506’s lighting scheme sucks. Some night I suck because I drank too many Long Islands. And some nights you suck because the lead singer says, no, can we turn…
red collar @ the pour house
red collar @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. One of the subjects in my photography that I get the most questions about is the startling number of shots of shoes, and feet, in my Flickr stream — specifically, the large number of shots of rock star shoes on stage, and random teenager shoes…
green #26
green #26, originally uploaded by minervacat. A couple of uninspired, flat shooting days since Saturday night. Partially the weather — too hot Sunday to bother much with shooting the baseball game — and partially the drag of job hunting and trying to keep my mood up as I job hunt. But this cupcake was delicious,…

twilight, carrboro, originally uploaded by minervacat. I’m happy to say that I’m running a print sale with my friend Ash. You can purchase any of the photos Ash has posted or any I have, but we’d suggest starting with our favorite photos for easier browsing. Ash’s favorites are here & here. My favorites are here…
