2.20.12 - Ides Of Gemini at Vacation Vinyl

Ides Of Gemini, featuring J. Bennett (Decibel mag), Sera Timms (Black Math Horseman) and Kelly Johnston recently released a split LP with Vermapyre on Magic Bullet Records. Here are a few pictures from the release party at Vacation Vinyl. It wouldn't be a Vacation party without Pete Majors, so the first shot is of him. 

Note to photo nerds:  since my usual ancient Nikkor 50mm is sick with a cracked UV filter that won't unscrew (it can be fun [see here and here] but not always necessary), I employed a just-as-ancient Canon 50mm protected by an equally ancient magenta filter.  I believe the double ancientness gave me the softness that you see in most of these pics (except the one wide shot). As usual, I employed very minimal photoshopping, so all effects are natural.

11.7.11 - Harassor, Hull, Bell Witch, AD at Mountain Bar

I am not much of a shutter dragger. I like the way the east coasters do it (<3Fred, Marble<3). On this night, however, it was mandatory as I had experienced flash transmitter failure early on (during AD) and Mountain Bar is always really dark, like one shitty amber bulb in the corner of the room. Anyway, there was another photographer there (in one of the pictures) with a good-size flash during Hull and Harassor, so I got in there and stole some of it! Most of those are 3 to 4 second exposures. Kinda weird to think that me and the other photographer have the exact same shots from different angles! I should've said hi. Thanks, other photographer :D

10.2.11 - Weedeater, Saviours at the Key Club

Fun show on this night. First picture is of what a bystander told me was a fatal motorcycle accident outside the Viper Room. Metal Wee Gee strikes again.
