chatham county: haw river state park, originally uploaded by minervacat. Wonderfully secret — although, I suspect, not secret to Chatham County teenagers looking to drink illegally — clearing by the Haw River, at the end of a 3/4 mile hike. Although if it were me, I would not swim in the Haw, but apparently some…
the love language @ local 506
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…
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,…
print sale!
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…
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…
baseball: maryland @ unc, game 2
baseball: maryland @ unc, game 2, originally uploaded by minervacat. This blog post is not about taking photos. This blog post is about baseball, and boys I love. Friday was likely Alex White’s final regular season home start as a Tar Heel — he’ll be drafted (very) high in the first round in June; some…
it’s the morning of the hangover!
it’s the morning of the hangover!, originally uploaded by minervacat. This is an old photo — circa summer 2003 — taken with my first digital camera, a CanonPowershot A200, just as I was starting to be “the one with the camera” in my college circle of friends. It was taken at Lake Geneva in Wisconsin,…
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…
