Just throwing together all my favorite black and w Just throwing together all my favorite black and white scans from this summer with one of my favorite Breeders songs. These are photos around New York, New England, the sonoma coast, San Francisco, and maybe some made up locations in my head I’ll just run off to so I can focus on creating and playing and escaping sometime akin…
I don’t even know what to say… like oh my god. You I don’t even know what to say… like oh my god. You two are gorgeous inside and out. What a wedding!! Is it still going on?? Can I come back and party?! Love you @saragrayspace and @shontourage !!! More to come
So many of my photography cohort started out shoot So many of my photography cohort started out shooting bands (mostly that our friends were in, sometimes not amazing but sometimes transportive), and selfies, and pictures of each other at parties, on film. Imagine my surprise and hearty laugh when Melissa aux der Maur basically said she created the selfie in the 90s cause no one was doing it like that 😂. Like wide angle lenses and tripods and timers didn’t exist? Like we didn’t want pictures with our friends, rock stars and otherwise, just as much as she did? Okayyyy girl. 
Anyway! Most venues won’t let you bring professional gear and I always try to tell myself that’s fine, just have fine and don’t worry about taking pictures. The music magazines I used to shoot for don’t exist anymore and I’m too old to get in the pit anyway. Grumble grumble grumble. 

But at the Sleater-Kinney/ liz phair show a few weeks ago (SK impeccable as always, LP unfortunately overshadowed by AI backgrounds and three guitars), I saw a 20 something photographer with press credentials who got to go into the photo pit for a few songs (that’s how they do it - fun but stressful) and shoot the band. She had adorable red pigtails and was DANCING her heart out and jumping with joy after she was told her photo pit time was up. She then just started photographing random attendees who looked so cute and fashionable. I couldn’t help it and I told her I loved her joy and enthusiasm. She took it with a smile but it was such a nostalgic moment for me. 

ANYWAY. That’s why I brought my camera to shoot the @the_okmoniks and @therealbratmobile and will be doing so for @heavenstobetsy1991 next month and why I want to find joy again in photographing my friends and loved ones and, somehow, someday, the gorgeous Carrie B jumping and windmilling her fucking heart out. Hooray for musicians!
I share a lot of (90s, lady) music taste with my t I share a lot of (90s, lady) music taste with my teenage daughter and we’ve been having a blast breaking the bank going to shows all year!! Last weekend it was @therealbratmobile at the beloved and soon to close @bottomofthehillsf (SOMEONE WITH TECH MONEY BUY IT CMON) and the fabulous @the_okmoniks opened for them. It was a great show, great opener, the singer’s birthday, and when I posted about it my lovely friend who just had her own birthday (happy happy birthday @saragrayspace !!) was like “um those are my good pals and they will be at our wedding!” Which I’m photographing this weekend!

Did you follow all of that?! I love punk rock, I love dancing, I love shooting shows, and I can’t wait to see my rad friends get married!!!
