Dr. Dog absolutely destroyed it last night at Haw River; they’re such a tight band, the harmonies that make their music stand out are even better live, and they just flat out rock. There was a full house, and the crowd was absolutely rocking with them. A ton of fun, and such a pleasure to…

5 non-camera things i can’t live without as a working photographer
There are plenty of things that no one will think to tell you about being a photographer; things like wear comfortable shoes or if you can shoot a punk show in a mini-skirt you can shoot anything. Photographers get plenty of advice about what gear they need, but very few people will tell you about…
because fuck you, that’s why
“[Y]ou should lie to people to get what you want; you can make things happen for yourself just by acting confident.” — Kathleen Hanna in Girls To The Front, on the start of her writing career “There was a point when I realized that you could get away with just about anything so long as…
the perfectly perfect camera bag
I have achieved camera bag nirvana. Not just camera bag nirvana, even: carry-on travel luggage daily purse everything bag nirvana.

promo photos: grant hart
Having access to a gorgeous converted mill studio to shoot Grant, for future Every Everything promo, was a joy. I want a studio. And also some studio lighting. And Gorman’s 85mm f2.8 lens. And a million dollars, and a pony. And for the Orioles to win the World Series, if I’m asking for things. But…
every everything: a wrap-up
First, I am still so tired, you guys. I am so, so tired. I have a huge bruise-slash-scrapes-slash-lump-of-pain on my right shin from where the sound case fell out of the SUV trunk on Tuesday, I have a new scrape on my right knee from where I fell off the curb into 4th Street, I have an…
every everything: day 3
We spent yesterday, my last day with the Every Everything crew, shooting at the 7th St Entry. It was amazing.
every everything: day 2
Day 2 of my shooting with the Every Everything crew. Lots of time in an SUV, but worth it for the stories. And the scars, as Craig Finn would probably say.
