Monday, I took photos of an amazing show… Bonde Do Role, Old Haunts, the Death Set, DJ Sega… with special appearances by Blaqstarr and Rye Rye (two of Baltimore’s best hip-hop/club music artists). It was amazing, sweat-and-nudity drenched fun. Monday nights in Baltimore are rarely this much of a blast. View the whole set here (but I will be posting some more photos later probably).

from a recent shoot in my studio.

Friday morning, at around 3am we were leaving Ben and Kim’s… Brian called me to tell me there was a raging fire on North and Charles. Brad and I drove up and saw a bunch of trannies and what might have been their pimps running from huge clouds of smoke. We parked, walked over to North to get closer… it seemed like it was raining, but it was just sprinkles from the firehoses… the pressure in those things must be intense. Once we got on north we could see at least 10 firetrucks… a huge building next to a church was on fire, and many, many firefighters were working to contain the blaze… pretty crazy stuff.

I photographed the MICA fashion show this year - it was a great time, the designers had some really creative and quality stuff, I was impressed. Check the set out here.

View the set. This show was amazing! DC fans really came out, and Misery Index in particular KILLED IT.

Update: Covered by BYT

Interesting new product seeking to dethrone pocket wizard. Looks like it has promise, it can apparently wirelessly send TTL info to the remote flashes!

alticon is the IT consulting firm I co-own. we provide web development, systems administration, DBA, and security evaluation services. our own website is (finally) about to launch, so we took some staff photos… the above are my favorite two.

Scottie B (Unruly Records), Blaqstarr (Mad Decent), Dave Nada (Taxlo, T & A Records), Ronnie Darko (Spank Rock, BBC) all on the decks! Check out the full set here. Check out the BYT write-up here.

Special bonus: Svetlana from BYT asked me to pick my favorite photos that have run on BYT. Here they are! Let me know if you think there are any I should take out/add.

MORE photos from SXSW… Spank Rock, Santogold, David Banner, Dark Meat, BLK JKS, Drop The Lime, Mad Decent Blowout, Vice Afterparty… blah blah blah… SEE THE SET

I’ve been down here for a few days and it’s incredible!!! I get back to Baltimore monday. Many pics will ensue… today I saw David Banner and Manny Fresh and it was goddamn amazing! Best performance I have seen in a looooooooong time.

I am also published this month in the German electronic lifestyle magazine, Debug.

Last friday I saw Double Dagger play at the Lofi in Baltimore. Amazing show… they played all new material (except one song for Ellie’s birthday), and were hampered slightly by a broken bass drum pedal… BUT someone in the crowd managed to somehow fix a broken spring. How you fix a spring that has snapped in half, I don’t know, but it was accomplished and the dude saved the show!

The one with Britney on the cover. They named taxlo as best national dance party of the month!

I contributed several photos to an article on Baltimore Club music in the next issue of Serie B, a spanish language magazine from Europe. If you know spanish well and want to translate, let me know! And click below to see the rest of the article, the cover, and my contributer page.
