holy ghost tent revival @ trekky records studio, originally uploaded by minervacat. One of my favorite shots of hands from this year. There were a lot of good things about shooting Holy Ghost in the studio earlier this year, but one of the best ones was that none of them asked me what I was…

wednesday morning three am, originally uploaded by minervacat. When I embarked on my year of month-long daily photo projects, I had no idea that I was going to get laid off at the end of April and spend May and June totally isolated in my apartment job-hunting. It was easy enough to take on projects…

ncaa baseball regional: coastal carolina v. unc, originally uploaded by minervacat. Carolina won their NCAA baseball regional over the weekend; the senior class is 12-0 in regionals over the last four years.

the never @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. Sometimes I think that I should give more credit to the bands that I shoot over and over again, for being patient with me and always infinitely intriguing photographically. Local bands in the Triangle have given me such great opportunities to hone my shooting through repeated…

the national @ the lincoln, originally uploaded by minervacat. I couldn’t stand to be on the floor with the pushy, sweaty crowd during most of the National’s set last night, so I shot the first song, determined that I’d gotten a few good shots of Matt Berninger, and retreated back to a safe peaceful spot…

I’m still struggling with motivation and inspiration in shooting lately. And with letting myself believe that sometimes it’s okay if I…

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…

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…

the never @ tir na nog, originally uploaded by minervacat. Late night yesterday, and an early morning today. Coffee’s necessary, I think.
acc baseball tournament: duke vs. unc
