Alt Ninja

He will bisect you in a ruthless instant but, by god, he'll do it with class.

Beach Weather

I don't like to say anything bad about anyone.
I have this incredible guilt that wells up inside me when I do. It's painful and definitely the remnant of one childhood disease or another. So, if i'm going to call someone out as being a loser you can just go ahead and assume that they are.

To whoever hacked my flickr account and caused me to lose 4 years of work: you are a pretty weak example of a human. All the best in life. You are going to need it.

Rich Aucoin @ Steam Whistle

I was finally able to see Rich Aucoin in a bigger venue and, as expected, it blew my fucking face off.

Zoobombs

So it's been my loss for never having seen or heard the Zoobombs before. The way he carved long undulating arcs through the air with his guitar was weirdly arousing. That and the soulful and drawn out electronic wailing their style created... energizing. Unlike any band I've ever seen.

The Ghost is Dancing

Went to the Velvet Underground to shoot the Zoobombs and saw the Ghost is Dancing unexpectedly. I was blown away by their energy! ... and their showmanship!.... and the sweatiness... definitely the sweatiness.

See the rest and the video at The Untold City.

Saw this family in Kensington Market. That little guy is all business.

Stream of Lights - NY a Tourist's View

Recently went to New York for the first time. I'm still waiting for my film to get developed but I took 13 digital shots and I feel they do a good job of relaying the gritty and electric night-time energy of the city.

Film shots soon.

NXNE

After the first day I was done in but I had no idea how much things had yet to ramp up... not the slightest.

The shows got louder, the people got drunker and the city, wet with sticky heat, burned in electric fire. After 72 hours of drugs, beer, screaming, and music the people were tweaking with manic energy and still begging for more. Grimey, beer-soaked sexuality steamed within the crowds and, inside it, I undertook one of the most intense photographic episodes, craziest weekends, and overly excessive binges of my life.

Photographing for NXNE. 38 bands, 3 days, and 1 paper-towel diffuser.

Polaroid Thursday: NXNE COMING!

Darkroom Fumblings

I spent my first afternoon in the darkroom. Unloading the film in the perfect darkness was terrifying. My roll survived though and after 40 minutes of pouring, agitating, and dumping I felt like a craftsman for the first time. I feel more connected somehow. I guess a strengthening of the bond between me and the process. Thanks Stina.
