sometimes you make an image, sometimes the image just happens to you.

I love basement shows, they are in my blood. They remind me that I am not as old as I sometimes think I am. This particular basement show had a band from canada called Germ Attack. These guys where some of the nicest guys you’d care to meet and I hope the rest of their tour goes well.

Actually these guys rocked the place.

These pictures are from the Saturday protests in Madison, WI. On Saturday crowds swelled to more than 70,000 including an estimated 2,000 counter protesters from the TeaParty movement. The protests were marked by a remarkable lack of violence with no arrests of any kind being made at the protest. In fact protesters from both sides actively engaged in discusion and dialog and while few minds where changed the mostly civil discourse was a breath of fresh air.

This is a portrait I took of me friend Armando Sanchez. This is about a year old and I just found it. I think it may be one of my new favorites.. Taken on a Leica with a 50mm cron.

Took a stab at editorial style music photography. was going for an old school rolling stone look, now if only they would hire me.

This is some really old chrome that I thought I had lost years back. Turns out that it was in the back of my fridge. These where taken in Asheville NC about four years ago at the LEAF festival.
