Mouthful of Diamonds

I haven't been writing in my posts lately even though there is a ton of stuff going on. I leave for Seattle in a week (for a Labor Day holiday). In October, I am going to Chicago to see the Gorillaz in concert. I cannot wait to see them perform. There are also a ton of other great concerts coming up in the next couple of months. We started discussing ideas for the Halloween party this week. It will be here in no time at all.







If you're reading my blog through Facebook, you'll have to click the links to see the videos. For some reason, Facebook will not display the embedded videos through their RSS feed. Or you can just go and watch them directly on the blog.

This is a really great live performance from Phantogram (my latest obsession) on KEXP. I am super excited about seeing them in concert too!

Burlesque Photos (Part Trois)

The last of the burlesque photos from February. I went to Dr. Sketchy tonight at Tatame Lounge. There's nothing like drawing in a small sketchbook with a dull pencil in a dark corner 30 feet away from the model while drinking sake. If I look at my sketchbook tomorrow and decide there is anything worth posting, I'll put it up here. I also took some photos with good old Holga. I'll post them sometime as well.

Dirty Diana

I went to a burlesque show at the Peacock Room this past Thursday. I was anxious to use my Diana with the ring flash again. I took some photos (which I have yet to upload) at the BoldHype gallery last weekend. I was disappointed that the photos came out kind of dark. As always, I was anxious to experiment and figure out how to fix the dark photos. I picked up some higher speed film and shot a couple of rolls at the burlesque show (which was so much fun). I played around with multiple exposures, holding the shutter open, and whatever else I could think of. I enjoy the mixture of motion and color. Here are the first of the photos.
