As I spent most of the day dodging millions of people, through the subway, on the train, down the street, through the park and in the bathrooms. I tried to find subjects that displayed some sort of solitude through out the many faces of New York. My first experience in the big city has definitely intrigued my eye for street photography. I was thinking about my experience shooting street photography in the Twin Cities and how I would contribute to defining the look of Minnesotans. After my return I spent a day helping my buddy Rich clean up his place and he showed me this Taxi driver/photographer David Bradford and gave me some more well needed inspiration after the fact.
While making my way back from Brooklyn I decided to get lost in Manhattan. These monstrous buildings go for miles and miles. It is so amazing and I did not spend enough time in new york. Here is the second series of Monochrome photos.
I walked around Brooklyn, New york and ended up on the Williamsburg Bridge and Snapped a few photos. I love all the lines that bridges have and it makes for any great composition. I hope you enjoy and feel free to show people. I miss new york a lot right now.
I also have a couple other sets of photos from new york, so keep an EYE out. Cheers

to there music:
This is probably going to be the closest thing to me ever seeing Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Efrim Menuck Had a Q&A between songs which talked of politics, bad jokes from the audience and random wonderings of the band. The SMZ’s dynamic arrangements seemed to quiet the crowd and Menucks amazing vocals could be the only thing heard at times during the performance. I would love to see these guys again soon.
I was fortunate enough to shoot three nights at Cedar Cultural Center this weekend and what a great way to end, then with friends Cloak Ox. These guys have been in the recording studio working on some new material and I heard that there are some horns on the new album. They had time to set up a show with Thee Silver Mt. Zion Orchestra and played some new material.
So I’ve been experimenting with black and whites the past few days and what a great opportunity then to shoot some photos of my Colorado friends Head for the Hills. When I arrived they had already been playing so I stepped right up to shoot some photos and there had been a seven foot gap from the stage to the crowd, so it made shooting photos very easy. Soon after the audience decided to join in and started doing the bluegrass dance I have never been able to describe, but I love it. Anyways after there set I got a chance to catch up with the guys backstage, Joe seemed to entertain the group quite well. I did a little Snoop Dogg photo-esque shoot with joe which had me cracking up. Whiskey Blanket is also hosting a host in Winona, Mn tonight and I recommend not to miss. It was great having some good Colorado Bluegrass for the night. Check out the photos for the night and let me know what you think. Check out some links to their website and be sure to add the on Facebook.
