The responsibility of dreaming.

Shirk that responsibility at your own risk.

Hong Kong

I took a trip to Hong Kong last week to take part in a photojournalist seminar. Long story short, the seminar didn't happen, but I wasn't about to let a 15 hour flight to the most humid spot on earth go to waste, so I hit the streets, mountains, trains, and taxi's to try to photograph this city of soupy air and scenic vistas.

Bodyscape

Over a year ago I photographed a young woman in a impromptu, artistic nude style that produced some beautiful photographs. Working though my archives a few months ago, I realized that the initial processing, a grainy black and white over-processing did not do the photos justice. I returned to the originals, and started from square one, trying to create a set of photos that gave a sense of mystery and sensuality about the circumstances surrounding them, as well as a sense of confidence on the models part about a part of our lives we censor the most, our bodies.

IAMX

IAMX graced us with a raw, sweat inducing performance at Subterranean last night. While they could have easily sold out larger venues, the choice of SubT and it's notoriously small and bottle necked floor plan work out well for me. I gave the crowd 3 songs to get sufficiently distracted so my apologetic yet forceful swan dive into the sweating mass would go relatively un-noticed. The key is to keep moving, so by the time someone's about to knock you out, your out of reach. I had to make it to stage left front row through 30 feet of angry undulating bodies to take advantage of my remote flash setup, and I have the bruises to prove it.

Anyway, the show rocked sufficiently enough to warrant a 3 song encore. The crowd wanted more, and the only way the band escaped the stage was to sacrafice drumsticks, sweat-towels, and set lists to the teeming masses as a distraction.
