the never @ tir na nog, originally uploaded by minervacat. Late night yesterday, and an early morning today. Coffee’s necessary, I think.

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,…
wes phillips @ local 506
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…
the gaslight anthem @ cat’s cradle
the gaslight anthem @ cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. An utterly kickass show. The ’59 Sound is great; Gaslight Anthem’s live set is even better.

the love language @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. The Love Language is going to be huge, so I’m glad I’ve had the chance to shoot them in small venues — the 506, supporting the Rosebuds at the Cradle back in January — while I could. The album doesn’t do them justice; go download…

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, 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…
american aquarium @ the pour house
american aquarium @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. Saturday night I shot American Aquarium’s CD release show at the Pour House in Raleigh; a year and a half ago, when I was just starting to edge into the scene in the Triangle as a photographer, American Aquarium were the first local band I…
vibrant green @ the reservoir
vibrant green @ the reservoir, originally uploaded by minervacat. One of my biggest flaws as a photographer is that, while I’m great at checking my levels and setting my f-stop and my shutter speed correctly (my E-series 50mm is a full manual, which is sometimes a major pain in the ass, but also makes me…
