Alternative Press magazine (AP) is doing an article about a 14 day trip I made the last week of March and the first week of April. It was 14 days of photoshoots every day thru 11 different cities in the South, Midwest, and East Coast. Some of the shoots are press shoots, some are just hanging out with band members where they live/work. There's going to be a ton of people/bands in the article including: Ted Leo, Steve Albini of Shellac, Tim Kinsella of Joan of Arc/Capn' Jazz, Cartel, Taking Back Sunday, Jake Bannon of Converge (at Deathwish), Make Believe, and more in cities like: Chicago, Birmingham, NYC, Philadelphia, Salem MA, and others.

Hey! It's been a really long time since I've updated my site. Pretty much because I was home about 15 days in April/May and didn't have time. I'm just going to put a bunch of photos from the past two months below, some with text some without. In the next update I'll post the photos from being on tour with Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie.

Hot Rod Circuit

the Arcade Fire was playing Atlanta the same night as Hot Rod Circuit. They wanted to challenge Team Chunklet in Whirlyball. So, after the HRC show I headed up to meet Henry and everyone and we nearly got our asses kicked by the Arcade Fire.

the Almost came through in April with Paramore at the Masquerade after the show the band and I went over to Chris Dudley of Underoath's for grilling and sleeping. The next morning:

----------------------

Originally, I was going to fly to Louisville two days after I got off tour with Ben Gibbard and go 5 days with Maylene and the Sons of the Disaster on their tour with Underoath, Norma Jean and the Glass Ocean. Instead I flew to Louisville, hung out with a friend from Indiana and went to the show. BUT then flew to Chicago the next day to hang out with a special lady friend for a couple days. So blame her. Here's some of the photos hanging out before the show and during:

Underoath

Norma Jean

Maylene and the Sons of Disaster

I was with the Fall of Troy for two days in Birmingham and Atlanta. I can only post two of the live images at this moment. The others are going to be used for something specific that I will tell you about later. We did some group shots a few places in Atlanta too.
