Vadalna Tribal Dance Company Revival

The Vadalna Tribal Dance Company held a fundraiser last weekend at the Central Square YMCA theatre. It was my first time in the theatre so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the lighting was pretty decent!

Do I even need to mention there’s a gallery with the full set of shots? N.B. some of the shots in the gallery may be somewhat risque (depending on what you think of as risque).

TraniWreck at ClubOberon

The incomparable Johnny Blazes invited me to Truth Serum Productions‘s recent TraniWreck: GOLD show at Club Oberon. The show was a ton of fun! As always, there’s a gallery with ~50 photos. A few examples:

Want to see more flesh? You’ll see a little more in the gallery, but if you want to see it all you’ll have to come to the next show – August 13th at Club Oberon! For more information about TraniWreck, check out Truth Serum Productions.

Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys at ArtBeat

If you were at Somerville’s ArtBeat festival over the weekend, not only did you see the art of Walter Sickert adorn ArtBeat but you also had the chance to see him and his band play. This show was unlike any other I’ve seen them put on… mainly because of the extremely young mosh pit and that it was outdoors. In the light. Weird!

… I really have no clue what Walter was doing in this photo:

AFP Ninja Gig at the A.R.T.

1 Comment

I think this is the fastest photo edit & blog post I’ve ever done. Apropos, for Amanda Palmer announced a ninja gig on her blog on the 7th. Occuring today, the 8th, at the A.R.T’s Loeb Theatre.

A small peek at the crowd as we wait:



And then, Amanda Fucking Palmer:




These next two are my favorites:




Friends were seen as well!

Summer Saturnalia

The Boston Circus Guild recently turned Club Oberon into a wild bacchanalia for one night. The number of incredible performers there made my head spin.

It was one of the most challenging shows I’ve shot (right up there with weddings!) but after all was said and done I’m fairly pleased with the results. I made more good photographs than I could ever hope to cram into one blog post, so it would greatly behoove you to wander through the full gallery.

Allow me to share a few though to entice you:

Our MC, Johnny Blazes Mark Alexander of Mortal Beasts & Deities

Vadalna Dance Company:

A Different Spin (and with audience participation!):


(if you go into the gallery, you can even see these guys jumping on and smushing their faces into shards of broken glass.)

Providing music throughout the night, the incomparable Emperor Norton’s Stationary Marching Band:

Audience and general scenes of mayhem!
 

Also in the gallery are some of my very best candid portraits ever. I’ve only included one up there, see if you can find two or three more in the gallery.

I am incredibly grateful to Emperor Norton’s Stationary Marching Band and the Boston Circus Guild for inviting me. The energy that night could only be described as euphoric and everyone there were all amazing performers.
