Dear World,

here is something different for your viewing pleasure.

Meet: Steel Train

throughout college I loved shooting live theatre, but rock and roll will always be the best.

Live shows have always been one of my favoritte things to shoot. When i first started learning photography, my friend Drew always shot live rock shows and bands with a canon rebel, and i learned from him.

This is Jack, Jack is also a member of Fun, with the lovely and talented Emily Moore ( featured in track 6 on my album: Stay)

they rock so hard.

this show was at Jammin Java in Vienna, Va. one of my favorite " DC " music spots.

that stud in the stripes is Justin Huey. Justin recently introduced me as his friend of a decade, wow... it's really been that long. crazy. Justin produced my album sang on the songs and played just about all of the intruments, he is insanely talented....

This next stud said to me after the show " people can't really dance to our music, I mean how do you dance to it?" I replied with " air guitar, air drums, jump around and sing!" so if thats what your into, i recommend catching them on tour.

I could watch this band play for days.

they aren't too bad looking either, ladies.

one day i want to be able to bounce around the stage like Jack. right now if im playing--- standing still is best, but one day - jumping jacks.

drums.

Do you watch letterman? You may recognize them from Monday's show where they were the featured band. Or last year on Conan... no big deal right?

their new album just came out, and versions with covers from bands like Tegan and Sarah and Scarlett Johansson ( sp?) yes ... awesome.

and the audience lived happily . ever . after .

C H I L D P O R T R A I T : annie

dear world,

you may not know this. but i have the greatest job in the world. i make music. and i take pictures. and i get to hang out with this little girl every day.

meet annie, she wears zany bands everyday, everywhere.

she may try to make you think she is shy but do not be fooled, she is a total goofball.

she also does gymnastics! she can do over 200 cartwheels in under minutes... its pretty insane.

she is also one of the most beautiful girls I have ever met.

this is a blue penny that was in the fountain. we threw some new ones in and made wishes.

i'm defintly going to miss days like this once i am in california.

one of the points of today was for annie to get to practice using an SLR camera and seeing what it is like to do a photoshoot. she has been playing with cameras lately and is really quite good. she was altering the Zoom and focus features 100% manually and on her own, and this is one of the pictures that she took of me....
