Got to meet up with L.A. Parker today to discuss what we are doing and we are going to do a radio interview tomorrow. WIMG AM1300 ‘Straight Talk with L.A. Parker (12:05-1:00pm et) out here in NJ! Tune in online at: www.wimg1300.com and click the “Listen Online” tab on the top right of the screen. Tonight we had wonderful dinner at Jens brothers and got to shoot an interview with him. Then we busted out a Kickstarter campaign that we will launch tomorrow on the radio interview. So tune in for that, as I am working hard as we speak. I’ve got some photos of todays process and some kickstarter outtakes.
After a 21 hour trip to New Jersey we finally got to work on some video shots in Trenton, New Jersey. It was interesting to see where a lot of the White Cactus story is portrayed. After months of the post production process, Jens family memories had become more of a reality.
I’ve been hyped to see some footage that fellow colleagues Jeff Johns and Ryan Loughridge. They had shot a documentary on leprosy in the Far east awhile back. It is stunning what they have had to go through to get things up and running on project. Here is the trailer and I hope you share it with those around you. These guys are going to be big someday and I applaud their efforts in telling these stories. Love you Ryan and Jeff
I got published in a couple music websites for some photos I did with the band Magic Castles. Anton Newcombe recently
signed these guys to his label – A Records.
Here are some links to check out.
I am writing to you as a voter in your district. I urge you to vote “no” on cloture for S. 968, the PROTECT IP Act, on Jan. 24th. The PROTECT IP Act is dangerous, ineffective, and short-sighted. It does not deserve floor consideration. I urge my representative to vote “no” on SOPA, the corresponding House bill.
Over coming days you’ll be hearing from the many businesses, advocacy organizations, and ordinary Americans who oppose this legislation because of the myriad ways in which it will stifle free speech and innovation. We hope you’ll take our concerns to heart and oppose this legislation by voting “no” on cloture.
The preconceptions of my invite had been far from the actual results. Seeing as the venue is setup for more intimate environments and look to hold 20+ crowds on Wednesday night shows. I was pleased to see Channy Leaneaghs following centered at a place packed with friends, fellow photographers, journalist and local musicians. Toby Thomas Churchill was welcomed by playing with Leaneaghs backing band and welcomed this Duluth musician perfectly. I believe the new Polica album is a highly anticipated release this year and any chance to see Channy live is well worth it. I hope to do some photo work with these guys in the studio process for her solo album, but until then enjoy these couple photos I had snapped.
after not playing for over 6 years, the original members of Late Duster assemble for one night at the Cedar Cultural center. The band had asked me to shoot some photos for this special event. Brian Olson had been flown out from his current city in San Francisco and has been excited to play this show for quite sometime. As I arrived, Brian and Mike had been unloading their equipment. I patiently awaited as the chairs had been slowly filling up. It had been a couple months since the last Dosh show and with my first experience with Mike Lewis joining, it was worth the wait. Since my time in the twin cities this past year, the music scene seems to keep me on my toes with all the collaborations with all these great artists. I feel apart of the community the more I reside in the cities. The respect for these musicians is more then what I could write, so here are some shots from the night.
I love seeing videos like this. Makes me miss living in Waialua. The north shore community survives on individuals like this. Eric puts his heart and soul into all these boards and helps out future board shapers. I love this addition to the PROFESSIONal series. Enjoy all you surf bums.
My uncle has been a huge inspiration in my life. Through art he
has managed to communicate with both natives and the perspective
of our people. Here is a link to some stuff he is working on.
