way too long...

Been way too long since my last post. I've got to make an effort this month. Here are a couple of flix from the last few weeks.

First off some iphone flix. It's sad that i'm posting them for photos on here, but I'm really blown away at how decent that little camera is.

Shot Aloke again, just an impromptu night thing. Really just wanted to play with what I could get with no flash.

I'm finally think I'm about 75% settled and can start shooting the project. I spent an afternoon up there and the light was beautiful. I've shot a couple of rolls with the hassey to get used to that camera again. I'm hoping to get them processed this week.

Afternoon with Aloke

Yesterday I spent the afternoon taking pictures for my friend's band Aloke. Good time, got to know the other band members a bit more, all really nice guys. Basically we cruised around their hometown area, reminded me a lot of my hometown. I really like a couple of the shots, especially the portraits and tighter stuff. They're getting their new album mastered right now, so hopefully they'll be pitching it to labels early next month with a couple of my pictures in their promo. I think I'm going to head up to Boston with them a the end of Jan. which should be fun. They're also planning a road trip to CA for west coast tour, I mentioned maybe meeting up with them out there and hitting a few cities and they seemed down. I'd like to work it into a trip to LA to shoot Saber some more and a trip to SF to see Goggs. Its not till March so we'll see what works out.

Here's a couple of quick JPGS. Love any feedback.

Aloke

I shot a friend's band named Aloke (http://myspace.com/aloke) this past friday night at a small venue called Matchless in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. I met Christian a few months ago when he was working as a PA on some shoot I was assisting. I think they got a great thing going and its been cool to see them grow even in the small time I've known them. We've been talking about trying to do some pictures for thier promo package. Also they're down with me tagging along on thier next tour so I can do some road/tour pictures, which is something I've always wanted to do since I was a kid. When I shoot bands live it is real hard to get something different, I really just got to shoot and shoot and hope that something gets caught just right, I'm sure the more you do it the more you can anticipate those images, but still 99% of what you see out there looks very similar. My favorite time is what happens before and after the preformance. I guess thats why this picture is up, it was shot within 5 minutes of the show ending.
