I Ask for so Little. Just Let Me Rule You.

So Tod Seelie (All-Universe show photographer, citizen-of-the-world, man-about-town) and I happened to be at the same show, which I'm pretty sure is a first. It's always fun for me to see how other people judge/synthesize a shared experience. His results start here. Mine are here. Leia Jospe was also there, if we want to turn this into a discussion of how to fit three photographers into a three foot space, but as of today all her pictures are buried on Facebook.

This Bores Me.

February has been a slow month for me work-wise. I've taken to shooting shows more often in order to keep my head out of my ass and get myself away from Photoshop -- the longer I fiddle around with selection tools the more likely I am to do something totally fucking [stupid] like selectively colorize everything.

In this spirit, please do let me know what's out there for the next few weeks. I am actively soliciting interesting bands to shoot. God bless my friends, but they only play so often. Bonus points if you play at a venue that is not totally fucking [stupid] when it comes to lighting.

Hi-V to The Choke, Knife Fight (bros) and WLWL for putting together a game group of bands to suffer through the conditions at Don Pedro's (the worst venue in Brooklyn).

Late Hi-V to Crystal Stilts, Silk Robes (bros), Vivian Girls and My Teenage Stride for making my Valentime's Day less [stupid].
