I’m not dead, I’ve just been concentrating on film and my darkroom course at the SMFA lately. I’ll give you this though – a slice of springtime in Central Square

Boston Underground Film Festival Opening!
Last night there was a stellar line up at TT the Bear’s for the Boston Underground Film Festival Tokyo Steampunk opening party: Owl Watcher, Jaggery, Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys, and HUMANWINE.
There are a total of forty one pictures in the full gallery. You should look through it, you’ll feel good! I present you with a few highlights:
If you’re one one of the musicians that I photographed I will happily give you un-watermarked, full-resolution images and rights to use them. Please let me know if you’re interested!

Post-processing these was slightly challenging – it felt like there was twenty million different lights in each shot, each with a different and weird color temperatures.

Lately it feels like my photos have been a bit all over the place as far as subject matter is concerned. I haven’t decided yet if I should be bothered by this or not.
Sxip Shirey at Cafe 939
My muse was elusive at Friday night’s Jaggery & Sxip Shirey show at Cafe 939, but a couple came out well enough to share. I’m particularly happy with this first portrait of Sxip as he listened to Jaggery play:

Selections from walking to/from a friend’s gallery opening last night:
Kim, Kayla, and ENSMB!
Friday night I had the pleasure of attending a kick-ass show at Lily Pad in Inman Square – Kayla Oberlin opened for Kim Boekbinder, who was also joined by Emperor Norton’s Stationary Marching Band!
I’m not going to play music critic aside from saying it was awesome and you should listen to their music and buy their stuff; instead I’ll show you the pictures I took:
There’s even a couple more in the gallery.
Go to their shows! Buy their music!
