The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far from the Tree

From Easter Weekend.

Langhorne Slim and my happy accident

Saw Langhorne Slim for the second time at Bottletree last monday. The first time I had never heard of him, but he blew me away. Such a great show. You can really tell how much he cares about his music.

Red All Over…

I’m not sure if the title is more of a reference of the campaign by Nike promoting the new USA Third Jersey or a reference to how I felt trying to shoot the match from the pitch next to photographers with lenses as long as my arm. Either way, after a little getting used to, this was quite the experience. Our company happens to have a news site that enabled me to get a media pass to the USA v Paraguay match in Nashville on Tuesday. I felt a little out of place, but I just tried to fit in and make the best out of my lack of equipment. It was a ton of fun and quite a learning experience.

Lissie – Catching a Tiger

Great show at Bottletree. Took me a while to post these. Sorry.

C’est la Mort

Charming, really. I think that may be the best was to describe The Civil Wars. You can’t help but fall for them. Beautiful music from old friends (or at least that’s how it seems).

Bone Hard Zaggin’

Girl Talk at WorkPlay. Incredible show. Intensity. I don’t think anyone stopped moving the entire show.

Cold War Kids and The Cave Singers

All the Lights

Old photos, new post:

Just some fun with oncoming traffic on the way to Tunica about a year-ish ago. Slow shutter speeds, moving lights, you get the idea.

MLS Cup 2010

One of the many great things about my job is that business trips usually involve something really cool. This time I had the privilege of traveling to the very cool Toronto for MLS Cup 2010. First trip to Toronto, and it hopefully won’t be the last. I did have to work (read: go to exclusive parties and sit in on meetings), so I didn’t really get to explore the city as much as I would like to. But I did notice that it was extremely clean and cold.

The Great Outdoors

Some friends and I took a trip to the highest point in Alabama (not saying a ton) for a camping trip this weekend and I decided it would be a good time to bust out the old Canon AE-1 for some fun. I really love film. It feels so intentional. There is actually thought that goes into every shot. No test shot and readjust, no live-view, no tips from the gadgets. Just a lens and a box with film.

Local Natives

Pictures from a fantastic Local Natives show at Workplay last Wednesday night.

Birmingham’s Newest Addition

So, I’ve been spending quite a few of my lunch breaks at the new Railroad Park downtown. One of the coolest and hardest to miss features of the park is the mini skatepark toward the west end of the park.
