More Holocene!

One of the Blue Cranes opening bands, who I also can't remember the name of. Anyone?

Update: Bright Red Paper!

Another example of blowing a potentially cool shot by not moving a couple of inches to the left to get the drummer's face in the shot. It's cool anyway, but it bugs me that I can't see the drummer's face.

A rather cool painterly version of the same shot. This is all done in-camera- it's just a slow shutter speed combined with cross-processing.

The bass player. I need to start writing down people's names.

Holocene has cool lighting!

Here are a few more shots from the Blue Cranes' CD release.

I got several cool shots of this saxophonist. What the hell is his name?

Update: Joe Cunningham is the hell is name. A great player!

Black & White Blue Cranes!

Blue Cranes' Reed Wallsmith. Black & whites from their CD release last weekend, Ilford HP5 pushed to 1600.

The unknown Decemberists saxophonist again.

Bill Athens

Rebecca Sanborn

Another shot of Reed.

Blue Cranes CD Release at Holocene!

Here's the Blue Cranes doing their CD release party at Holocene. The band was completely rocking! I revisted my blurry art-crap roots by shooting with 400asa Fuji Provia pushed to 1600 and cross-processed. I hadn't been wild about the way the Provia looked when cross-processing- I did it a bunch on the Rome trip, and they mostly came out looking dull- but pushing 2 stops seems to give it the kind of look I like. It helps to be shooting at Holocene, which has a a lot going on with the lighting. I got a lot of stuff from this show, which I'll be posting over the next couple of weeks.
