Back in November when testing out a new telephoto lens, I thought it best to stress test it with our rambunctious ambassador Marty and his best furry buddy Lucky. Somewhere between his balletic canine wresting and preening for the camera, I was able to grab some special moments of our little guy.
Crowded Rooms at Askew /
Eleven o’clock? Really? For the headliner? I’m feeling a bit old. On the other hand, it was well worth the wait to hear Crowded Rooms play to a very crowded room. Synth pop-rock in a charismatic live show, leaving the audience at Askew begging for an encore. I want to say the music is Suede via Purity Ring with maybe a bit of early Radiohead? Perhaps I’m listening to too much Britpop lately. Incredible show that Higgs and company were magnanimous in letting me photograph.

Down on the Farm /
Taking some time after the retail holidays to work on projects and recoup, I was invited down to the Lamendola’s farm to explore. Sprawling forested grounds sprinkled with amazing bits of history; it was a gorgeous day to recharge the creative batteries and brainstorm an artistic new year! Here are a few images that best capture the spirit of an A24 southern gothic film. No Francos were involved in the making of said movie.
