Also, something new on my blog, if you look right below this you’ll see a few icons that look familiar. You can now send my blog posts to twitter, facebook, digg, and a few other sites.
Free Week at Red 7
Here is the first installment of my 3 part post updates for the day. After Fun Fun Fun Fest I took a little preemptive break from shows in order to keep myself from becoming jaded of concerts. That month passed and the first day of the new year came, so did free week. The only show I was able to make it to was the first night at Red 7: Naw Dude, Power Trip, Mammoth Grinder, Iron Age, and Pack of Wolves. I just missed Naw Dude, sorry Doug.
Here are some of my favorites from the show, and go here to purchase a print.
Busy, busy, busy….
Lots going on, and I’ve been either to busy or tired to get on here and give you some previews lately, so here is a big random update. I’ll start with the most recent, bicycles… I’ve been riding my little kids bicycle around quite a bit and have been having a blast. This past weekend there was a small jam/demo at a skatepark up north called Ramp Ranch, I snapped this quick shot of Hanson Little jumping out of the bowl quarter on the far right and wall riding into the small quarter. It was up on Mutiny Bikes website after the jam which was pretty rad! Go ride a bike now!
Next up is some film, I recently purchased myself a new film camera and have been shooting more film than usual. When I say new, I do mean new to me as the camera is 10 years old (Nikon F100 if your curious)! Here is a couple from the last roll I got developed from the old F100.
and here from the cult classic… Holga
Last month I did a press kit shoot with the local band We Paint The Town
Finally, a quick editorial shoot for a new small indie music magazine out of San Antonio called Backbeat Magazine for a gear talk section with a local musician. Robert Cherry brought out a couple speakers and a lot of cables, to bad we didn’t make and loud noises.
One final thing, I recently setup a facebook page, so please add it and spread the word.
High Watt Crucifixers
Here is a quick look into what comes out of a press kit photo shoot between myself and a local Rock n’ Roll band High Watt Crucifixers. I spent a little over a hour with them this past weekend in and around The Highball here in Austin, that is itself a work of art! The Highball is a rad new bowling alley, skee-ball, karaoke, and restaurant/bar all in one location, that is straight out of the 60’s! Anyways, here are my favorite photographs from the evening. Please contact me for any questions/inquiries for setting up a shoot similar to this for your band.

Fu Manchu, and Eyehategod
Last night had some good shows going on for the kickoff of Fun Fun Fun Fest, I went to a few of them and came back with some shots of two bands. Both super loud and heavy bands, I loved it… Fu Manchu at Red 7, and Eyehategod at Emo’s. Here are two of my favorites from last night, to see the rest check out my Flickr account, and/or purchase a print here!

Now that was a lot of FUN!
Die Youngs Last show
Texas Hardcore legends Die Young played their last show this past saturday after 7 years. It was great photographing this band over the past couple of years, and I’m sure there will be other projects in the near future from the guys in the band. They ended it with a 8 band show in the bands home town of Houston, TX at Walters on Washington. I took close to 2000 photos that evening, and edited them down heavily, due to the amount I’m going to show some favorites from the last two bands, and the rest can be viewed on my Photoshelter account here.
The lineup was:
The Separation
Legion
Mammoth Grinder
The Golden Age
Dead City
Folsom
Seven Generations
Diy Young
Die Young
Seven Generations
Who is also about to play their last show, I was glad to see this band once before they ended it. Their set reminded me why I got into and love Hardcore Punk music. I could feel the raw energy this band put off with such emotion during the whole set, and tried to capture it as best as I could.
Info on the lighting used:
The venue was super dark, a bit to dark fro the D700 even, and to capture enough detail from the show I had to light it. Instead of using the small pop-up flash attached to my camera, or a larger strobe attached to the hotshoe I instead put up two Nikon SB-25’s triggered wirelessly with cybersyncs. First one was stage left and all the way to the back behind the gear, it was gelled with a 1/2 CTO. Second was stage right and just off the stage at the front corner up against a pillar out of the way from the crowd and safe, it was gelled with a full CTO.
Tigercity
Shot something a little different from the usual punk rock shows I end up at last night, turns out I came home with some great photographs, and some catchy tunes stuck in my head on my nice ride home at about 12:30 last night. It was a pleasure listening to and shooting something different/new for a change, I hope to be around for some more tunes like this in the future. A local band called Speak started the show, then Royal Bangs from Tennessee, and ending the night with Tigercity from NY.
Enjoy a few of my favorite pictures from the night right below, it was shot for Austinist, and everything from the night is available right here on my photoshelter account.
Dubb Sicks
Last weekend I shot some portraits of a local Hip Hop artist, Dubb Sicks for his next album release. Walked around downtown Austin and found a few spots.
