Posting some never-before-seen photos from SXSW 2008. Pictured above are: 2 Live Crew, Amanda Blank, Spank Rock, and Santigold. Click here to see the whole set, and expect more blasts from the past over the next week or so.
Click on either flyer for a larger version. The opening is on 9/12/2009 and runs until 10/04/2009. I will be showing live music photos, as well as portraits of musicians and fans, all from the last few years. Come out if you happen to be in NOLA then!
Speaking of Paris, I did some other sight-seeing and photographing while I was there. I really recommend Montarnasse Cemetary to anyone going to Paris…
Last month, I was in Paris for a shoot and I managed to go to the Catacombs and take a few pictures. It was a pretty difficult shooting situation, they don’t allow flash OR tripods, so it was all handheld, high ISO stuff. I had a great time, though, and recommend that anyone visiting Paris should go. Also, I have heard there are parts of the Catacombs that aren’t officially open to the public, but are accessible… if anyone knows how to get into them, let me know!
A text recap may or not be coming soon but here is the photo recap…

This weekend I went to the big ears music fest in knoxville. I saw so many artists, but the highlights were: philip glass, michael gira (swans, angels of light), christian fennesz (performing with a variety of collaborators), negativland (performing It’s All In Your Head FM), dan deacon and the baltimore round robin (ed schrader, cex, smart growth, adventure, dj dog dick, height)… It was a really great festival, small, low key, with the emphasis on the music and the artists and not a million sponsorships. Seriously, it was a great event and I really hope the organizers can keep it up with this level of quality in the future! Don’t miss out next year!
Oh yeah, and here is the full Big Ears set!
A few weekends ago (right around the same time my laptop died, thus the long delay), I made it up to NYC for CMJ, and to hang out with friends. Even though I had a badge (thanks, Citypaper), I didn’t make it to many sanctioned events… the highlights for me were the Unruly Records/Senari bash at Love, Ponytail’s performance at the Fader Fort, and of course just hanging out with friends. Click here for the fun NYC set.
We went camping this weekend in west virginia… it ruled hard. To see the full set (including some friends only jawns), click here.
Then I go back to Baltimore to shoot at Virgin Fest and then the Toyota afterparty at Sonar w/ the Taxlo guys…
Look for a shot of Blaqstarr I took in next month’s Baltimore magazine…
