March 30, 2009


Sorry for the lack of updates lately. Even though only like 3 people probably see this. This past week was my spring break and I shot pictures for one show and went to others. most of the above took place in the entry way of the mckinley foundation. Theres not much room in there, so it gets things moving pretty well. Also for my photo class we're working on porteaits so i just posted one of Damon from when i did old Rhynoceraptor pictures a little while ago. More photos soon hopefully. That's all.

The Boy Illinois - One Love from G o D Jewels on Vimeo.

So I haven't had a lot of work lately, but coming up I have quite a few promo shoots. Three of them happen to be for rappers or rap groups. I've never photographed people from the hip hop world before, but i'm excited to get my start. The video above is the boy illinois. He is one of the people I have a shoot lined up with. Also another U of I student by the name of the Advakit. I'll be sure to post those pictures up as soon as I take them. However, it will be about another two weeks because of spring break. I'm excited though.

So i talked a bit about the last shed show in a previous post, but that was right after it. Now I've had some time to actually grasp the it's closed, and i've come to realize that the champaign area has suffered a great loss. Not only in the venue, which i already knew, but in the fact that theres not going to be nearly the same amount of shows going on. at least indie shows. I was updating my facebook group for shows in champaign and i realized that they are almost all hardcore shows. Which made me happy and sad. Happy that the hardcore scene is coming back, but sad that the indie scene is going away now. The shed will always be missed by many, but hopefully it won't mean the end for some music around here. I should have more photos up soon. A couple of shoots in the works. maybe pictures from shows coming up too.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately guys. I have been pretty busy with all this work coming in around midterms, but anyways this weekend I took photos for Scavenger and Rhynoceraptor. Them along with many other band played at the McKinley foundation on Saturday. It was sweet, but the highlight for me was Black Teeth playing in the entry way to the McKinley. The room was maybe 9 feet by 20 feet at the most. and it was packed with kids. It was the first time i had seen stage dives in champaign. (or in this case it was dives off of an old church pew.) I would have taken photos of it, but my camera would have been smashed. It was sweet though. I'll have more photos up soon. I need to save up some more money from photos so i can buy some triggers for my drum set!

So, last night was the last shed show ever. I will miss it beyond belief. The willards are some of the greatest people I know, but the show was amazing, and i photographed a lot of it. For memory, and for my schools photo class. I had to take action shot. I think this one pretty much sums it up. I love this picture. I have quite a bit more photo shoots coming up. Hopefully more sweet shots will come soon.
