twenty years of sadness

Meaning I was 5 when SP first came together and made a band. Insane to think about.

These are my favorite b&w shots from the show.

Its super late. Sweet dreams.

Do what you got to do, say what you got to say.

I was in Boston last night for hours, due to the wonderfully talented Smashing Pumpkins playing at the Wang Theater. I stood out side for about 3 hrs. to see them come out and blew a shot of a life time. Terrible. Anyhow, while waiting, I took a ton of photos of the streets and all. Meanwhile it was raining on and off all night. Which meant awesome shots and getting soaked.

These are a handful of my favorites. I will be posting some shots of the band soon, so check them out too!

Hope your weekend rocked n'stuff.

scanning and retouching

Just learned last week how to scan film images and today we learned how to retouch. I pretty stoked about the out come. Can't wait to fix some more scans.

Inspiration. Self Projects.

I've had blast editing and going through this shoot. Its all experimental and for me only.. [well hoping others will also enjoy them too of course.] For me; as in non-assignment, to stay creative and in love with photography. These five are definitely my favorites.

wicked creepy. right? 


We also found another amazing place.. that was even more sketch so, we opted on coming back on a non-rainy/cloudy day.. preferably when the sun is up and super bright. 

In all seriousness I can't wait to get back there.
