i had the opportunity to photograph kate voegele (above) and natasha bedingfield (below) while they were in town. i haven't taken live music photos since my days shooting hardcore shows in the late '90s.. its a lot different when you can't stagedive. the other photographers were looking at me like i was crazy because they were shooting with their digital slr's and i was using my 16lb mamiya rb67 aptly nicknamed "the tank" but all in all i really like what i got.
below are some new photos i took this month for my ongoing series of photos i take when i have go-see's. no makeup, no styling, just models as-is.




coincidentally unrelated to my post about my new shoes (see previous post "ah summer") my former agency-mate mike piscitelli tapped me to photograph john varvatos for an upcoming issue of malibu magazine. below is my favorite outtake and yes, i did buy another pair of beekman oxfords in a different color.






last wednesday my sister called me and asked me if i wanted to go see the Cure in philly while i was in town for our mother's birthday and mother's day weekend.. um hells yes! (apparently the Cure were supposed to play in sept but had to cancel that's why the ticket says sept)
