I’ve had the privilege of being able to photograph emerging metal band In Deeper Oceans.  They are a great group of guys who always put on a good show.  They joined other local metal bands for a Zumiez benefit show at The Knitting Factory last Thursday.  It was, in my opinion, their best show yet.
I love to [...]

Well, it seems perhaps a bit redundant to post this if you got here from my homepage because you probably saw the Gallery link already.  But, for those of you who wait with bated breath to see a Facebook fan page update (you know who you are…mom) here are my new galleries.
There are two sets. [...]

The light it creates is…amazing. I [...]

This is a rack card I designed. I’m not sure when I’ll get them printed, but I guess that’s what the internet is good for.

I’ve tried several times to fake a seamless. I would put a piece of foamcore upright behind another piece of foamcore laying on a table. There was obviously a seam, and trying to edit it out was a pain.
Then a Batman poster (one of three I have) fell off my wall. So [...]
