Just Dance

Just for fun.

Give Me a Hand

This project just seems like a joke. I'm sorry. The title is just cheesy and annoying. I went through a tremendous brainstorm braintornado (which involved everything from rock cliffs to zombies) and finally happened upon a more classic and simple approach.

Help/Me/Please

Ring Around the Rosie

In the spirit of sharing, I figured I would post the pictures I've been working on since this Saturday. My model was tremendously helpful and didn't even wince at - what I can only assume - was increasing pain in her arms.

Here are my attempts at a conceptual portrait:
note: the first two images would be shown next to each other.

and just for fun:

Gig Time: Rye Rye/Diplo

I had another concert shoot this weekend, courtesy - as always - of The Newshouse [who, incidentally, haven't put any pictures up yet. Slackers.]. All kidding aside, it was a capital-C CRAZY show in SU's Goldstein Auditorium: complete with glow sticks, a baseline low enough to induce heart failure, and some quality music.

Check out stills from the show:

Gig Time: Pete Yorn/Ben Kweller

The Westcott Theatre has some pretty impressive lineups once in a while. The odds are stacked against it, if you think about it: a) it's not very big, b) it's not very central to anything, and c) it's in Syracuse.
So color me thoroughly impressed when they hosted Pete Yorn and Ben Kweller last night.

I was sent to the show by The Newshouse (Newhouse school's multimedia web news source), but they haven't put up the pictures yet so, alas, I cannot post a click-through link. (I will, though. As soon as I have a link.)

[Update: Newshouse posted their link. Check it out here. They also linked back to the blog. Thanks!]

Experience the magic.

Stop! Studio Time.

Meet Annie. She and I completed our homework assignment in the studio on Saturday, and she got conned into posing for all of the awesome shots. Way to be, Annie.
