    Shot Lady Alma for the Washington Post at Blues Alley. Great, intimate little venue in Georgetown, if you have never been. Go check out the Exorcist Steps then see a show! Lady Alma was great, this was one of those shows I probably wouldn’t have gone to on my own, but had a good time. She was full of energy and spark, and was determined to get the crowd going strong too.

    Dan Deacon portraits for XLR8R Magazine.

    Monday, January 16th, 2012

    Dan Deacon.   Dan Deacon.   Dan Deacon.

    I shot these with Dan in his house in… 2009? Wow. Don’t know why I never posted these. These were for XLR8R Magazine, which no longer exists in printed form (RIP). The fabric in the background is the fabric that was used (he had it hand-made) for the tent that is on the cover of Bromst (which was photographed by the lovely & talented Baltimore photographer Frank Hamilton).

    See more photos from this session here.

    Here’s the XLR8R layout:

    I shot Baltimore-based designer Stevie Boi for the City Paper in his studio in downtown Baltimore. He is a rising star in the fashion word, his hand-made designer sunglasses sell for 100s of dollars and are worn by stars like Madonna and Lady Gaga. He is just about to launch a new line, as well as move to new york. Read more about it here, in the story written by Baynard Woods.

    (In) Parenthesis photo collective & Fields of Vision photo show.

    Saturday, December 24th, 2011

    (In) Parenthesis.

    In the past few months I have become involved with (In) Parenthesis, a Baltimore-based photography collective. Our goal is to broaden knowledge about current issues in the field of contemporary photography, and our first curated show, Fields of Vision, is on display now at CaseWerks Gallery (1501 Saint Paul Street, Baltimore).

    The Baltimore City Paper (who I work for often) wrote a story up about the show, which you can read here.

    CMA Songwriter’s Series with Patty Loveless, Clint Black.

    Patty Loveless @ CMA Songwriters Series

    CMA Songwriters Series

    I shot the CMA Songwriter’s Series at the Library of Congress. It was an intimate show where some top country songwriters – the guys who write the songs for the stars – got a chance to shine, tell stories about their songs, and have the chance to perform them along side stars like Clint Black and Patty Loveless.

    Shot Ms Lynn for the Washington Post at her show last week at The Birchmere. I was pleasantly surprised to find that she was touring with just her and a guitar, no glitz, no band.

    DC Fotoweek 2011 / BYT Young At Heart photo show.

    byt-yah-2

    Last week I was in a photo show that was a part of DC Fotoweek 2011, BYT’s Young at Heart 2. It was a great time, including slideshows and Q&A with 6 amazing professional photographers (Joshua Cogan, Victoria F. Gaitán, Douglas Sonders, Scott Suchman, Nicole Wolf, and Marcus Yam) – you can see some examples of their work here.

    The show also featured slideshows of various BYT photographers, including myself. CLICK HERE to see a slideshow of my work that was on display. And here is the original youtube of my slideshow I made to remember what was in the show, it’s of worse quality, but you get the music that was being DJed so you can “feel the vibe”!

    I shot country western artist Chris Young at the Fillmore. Nice room, this was my first time there. Young was certainly a pleasant, fan-oriented artist, even if his music isn’t really my thing.

    Ice Age in SPIN Magazine.

    Ice Age - Nov 2011 SPIN

    My photo of Ice Age at the Golden West in Baltimore, in the November issue of SPIN (the Das Racist cover). On newsstands now. Pretty stoked to have a photo from a punk show at my friend’s restaurant in there… and to be featured in such a great magazine for music photography!

    Audio/Visual photo show NYC @ powerHouse

    I am currently displaying 3 pieces in New York Photo Festival’s juried exhibition Audio/Visual, at PowerHouse Arena in Dumbo, Brooklyn. It’s a show about music & photography, which pretty much means photos of musicians, though there were some interesting shots that didn’t quite fit that mold. You can read more about it here. The show is up all month, so if you find yourself in Dumbo, stop in!

    Here are the photos that are in the show (Janelle Monae, Monotonix, The Spark):

    Way late on posting these pictures! In July, Animal Collective finally played Merriweather Post Pavilion, the venue for which they named their breakthrough album. I covered it for the Baltimore Sun and SPIN. It was a great show, with some amazing stage decoration and lighting. They played mostly new material, but the crowd seemed mostly into it.

    I hadn’t seen Darkest Hour in years… seeing them at the 9:30 Club on the Summer Slaughter tour was a far cry from seeing them play on a friend’s driveway in 99, which was the first time I saw them, but it was still alot of fun. Definitely one of the highlights of the Summer Slaughter 2011, the other of which was Dying Fetus, of which I will post photos in a few days…

    This was a really fun show. I wasn’t super familiar with this band before the show, but they are a total over the top rock band from Mexico, sort of a Latino U2 or something. More lights on stage than I have seen at almost any show ever!

    Sade & John Legend, A Night In Treme.

    Friday, July 15th, 2011

    Sade @ Verizon Center
    Sade @ Verizon Center   John Legend @ Verizon Center

    Two shows I shot recently for the Washington Post. Sade was interesting… totally packed, yet very chill, a very grown-up crowd (obviously). Beautiful voice and very professional, yet you got the impression that she didn’t really like being on stage, which makes sense considering her famous reticence at being in the spotlight.

    A Night In Treme, which closed out the DC Jazz Fest, on the other hand was an unabashed party. Total abandon and fun from all the musicians (and famous actors, and Louisiana Congressmen) on stage. They even did a second line, right through the crowd!

    July Tearsheets + Low Budget Photo Show.

    Friday, July 15th, 2011

    Tearsheets for the first half of July. You can see a selection of my favorites on my Tearsheets page, here. Click any of the above to see some of my Tearsheets from the last week or two. Animal Collective/Black Dice show coverage, the Big Music Issue of the City Paper cover, a few shots of mine that were used on an IFC show, and more…

    Also, there was a City Paper Low Budget Photo Show downtown, where various City Paper photogs sold work. Here is a picture of my stuff on the wall:

    Breakdancing In Baltimore.

    Breakdancers at 4 Hours of Funk

    I worked with Sam Sessa at the Baltimore Sun on a piece about the breakdancing scene in Baltimore. The monthly party 4 Hours of Funk (at Wind Up Space) and the weekly Dig (at Joe Squared) are both hotbeds of breaking, as well as popping and locking. Both parties are fun, even for the uninitiated like myself. It’s pretty impressive just to hang back and watch their moves.
