I felt like I hadn’t shot too much this year– until I went through my photos to pick a few faves.
This seems sooo long ago – view from my old cube (shot in January 2010).
Shooting 50 First Jokes is always fun (can’t wait to do it again in a few weeks).
Liars at Bowery Ballroom.
Sereena Maneesh at Mercury Lounge (I printed this one for “More Guitar in the Monitor”)
Jon Lang – Recess at B Bar (Recess has moved to King’s Cross)
Madri Gras at Fort Useless — that reminds me, I have to make the King Cake this year…
Thieving Irons at Sycamore — this was at the end of the 4 week residency — so much fun.
Noveller at Glasslands — I printed this one for “More Guitar..” also.
Jenna and me in Portland, ME. I miss you Jenna–come back to Brooklyn!!
I was home sick in a snowstorm and so I went to my basement and dug up my old 45s from the ’80s. More here.
Drink Up Buttercup’s CD release party at Pianos — I was in a lot of pain that night — it was still fun though.
Riddum Saunter at Cake Shop — ever wander into a place and are lucky enough to get a wonderful treat? That was Riddum Saunter…
The National at The Bell House. This was an entertaining evening (and I put aside the pain in my shoulder to take some shots).
Hanging out with friends at Fort Useless after the Convertible Gallery show.

From the Alpha Project – T–Tiki
Dinosaur Feathers at the Cutting Room for KEXP.

Marta and Steven’s birthday party at Fort Useless — you had to be there….
Frightened Rabbit at Webster Hall — really enjoy his songs (printed this one for “More Guitar…”)
Marie Stella in my house. This was a collaboration between Mr. Bryan Bruchman an me.
BRAHMS at Pianos — I quite like them –but not those orange plastic barriers…
RUSSIAN LOMO 6×6 TLR CAMERA LUBITEL 166V — I want to spend my life looking though this.
School of Seven Bells at Mercury Lounge – such a good show (and it was Matt’s birthday too).
Oh ring light, how I love you.
You know who you are — at Public Assembly — Northside Festival.
Zola Jesus at River to River Festival at South Street Seaport
Thieving Irons at Bar Matchless – Northside Festival.
The Grates — Kidrockers (at The Living Room)
Drink Up Buttercup at Berry Park (Northside Festival). I couldn’t see anything while I was shooting…
Coyote Eyes at Knotting Factory — Marta’s signature move (and Jeremiah in the back beating the hell out of his drums).
Portland, OR — I love how flowers spill onto the sidewalks here.

Zamza at Bowery Poetry Club (CMJ) — This was ridiculous.
Holly Miranda at Bowery Electric (CMJ) So good to hear Holly – it had been awhile.
Zowie at Pianos (CMJ). This is the best photo that I shot at CMJ and it’s pretty much an accident.
Kidrockers – perhaps my favorite band mash up shot yet (but I really like them all) Big Trouble, Eternal Summers and members of Neon Indian.
Double Down opening at Fort Useless.
Twin Shadow (Kidrockers Winters Eve Festival). I was laid off from my job earlier the day of this show — it was good to be able to work on my favorite project that evening.
My mom and Bella on Thanksgiving – one of the few photos that I’ve taken of my mom that she likes.
