all these flashes and cables – Page 8 – brand new kind of photography

the deep dark woods @ local 506

I haven’t written about Levon Helm’s death, in part because every time I tried, I got all weepy, but mostly because I knew I had this show on the books, and I can’t think of a more appropriate band than the Deep Dark Woods to tie back to Levon. Because the Deep Dark Woods sound…

‘give ’em the pickle’

This boy is pitching for the Yankees on ESPN right now. I watched him pitch for four years in a grungy, awful stadium; Team USA’s training park; a beautiful gem of a park. I am so proud that I am about to burst. So fucking proud I can’t even.

make

This is a blurry photo of a CD, poorly white-balanced and not quite in focus, but it’s important because under those words and that disc, it’s my photo on the inside of Wylie Hunter & the Cazadores’ upcoming full-length. One of the shots that we took at CD Alley back in January. It’s on my…

a family of tiny rawrs

I bought 12 tiny plastic dinosaurs on Amazon. I’m going to use them to practice my macro photography.

hacking a brownie

A few years ago, Ash gave me a vintage Kodak Brownie, in working condition but minus its 620mm spools, for my birthday — I’ve been trying to find spools for it since, albeit half-heartedly, but when a pair turned up on my Etsy favorites list for cheap last week, I had to jump on them….

For those of you who know me, you know that I have a long and complicated history with Comedy; comedy with a big C, a stand-in for amateur and professional improv, sketch, stand-up. For those of you who don’t know me that well, well: I have a long and complicated history with Comedy. I have,…

beirut @ cat’s cradle

I have wanted to have the chance to shoot Beirut since 2008; I just, at the time and since, never thought I’d have a chance to do so in a venue the (mid-)size of the Cradle, and if I did, it wouldn’t be with lights as spectacularly perfect as Zach Condon and band brought with…

the camera’s eye

I am about to finish watching The Hour, which if you haven’t watched it is simply staggeringly brilliant — Romola Garai is absolutely astonishing, and Dominic West and Ben Whishaw aren’t too shabby either, and I loved playing spot-the-British-TV-regular (“HI MORIARTY.” “HI OWEN HARPER.”). But what really grabbed me about it was the cinematography, the…
