Heidi 3-ways....then

Yesterday I met with Heidi to do some basic shots for a modeling site for her.....those pics posted soon. Was digging back in the vaults and found some studio work we did last year for a fun project. 3 different studio setups and lots of experimentation led to a great friendship and a continuing ongoing dialogue about some interesting projects.

Kylesa | Torche | Haarp @ Big Top

Checked out some Metal Wednesday night at the Big Top. Great space, great show. Never heard Savannah, GA based band Kylesa before but glad I checked em....Neck still hurts but worth it.

Thanks Lawrence for comin out. Hope you rocked your test today with all that sludge metal in your head!

Quintron & Holy Fuck

Its been a crazy few weeks with a quick unexpected trip back to NY after a sick show at Howlin Wolf. Lots of excited things happening but no time to write. Here are some funny pics that I never posted from the Quintron & Holy Fuck show.

More updates soon.

BIG print being shown @ Homespace Gallery

New 24x36 print being show @ Homespace tomorrow

Saturday I will be showing off one of my new BIG prints that I just got delivered yesterday @ the Push-Pin show at Homespace Gallery. For more info about the event go to the New Orleans Photo Alliance site here.

Im very excited to hang the print and see how they look. Now I need to think about how ill frame these 24 x36 prints before I print about 20 more of 'em. This weekend Ill try and hit some of the local frame shops to see about custom framing but might cheap out and go to Target to get an inexpensive ready-made poster frame to hang at push pin.

Either way...come check out the show which should have a good variety of cool stuff.

Tonight Quintron & Holy Fuck at Howlin Wolf....stay posted for pics.

Why dont YOU hit the road?

This past weekend I hit the road to check out Philly-based band "Bloodfeathers" at Whitewater in Little Rock, Arkansas. Had a great time riding around the state, dippin in the pool, meeting some Little Rock locals, jumpin in lakes, eating BBQ and drinking Whiskey. Needless to day, it was a great trip.

I met tons of great new people and danced my ass off at the show. Of course I managed to get some good shots, check out the GALLERY OF IMAGES on my website and CHECK OUT Bloodfeathers!

Im trying to get them to come to NOLA next....anyone looking for a great band to get the crowd going give me a shout.

Here is a TEST..check out photo collection on my site

OK....either my blog/Facebook/website/marketing attempts are paying off or people are finally figuring out that I'm an amazing photographer. Now for the technical part of the presentation....Please refer the graph above (aka screenshot from my Google Analytics page) you'll notice that my blog readership has increased dramatically over the last few days. (very scientific, I know ;) Now yes, Mod Dance Party draws a lot of attention, but how do I capitalize on this?....need to think more on that.

In the meantime I have been editing down a collection of work to FINALLY exhibit. Those who check my blog regularly know that Ive been working on capturing the energy of crowds at live shows. Although I want to continue work on this project, I do think that I have enough to work with in terms of putting together a show.

Editing down is tough and shopping around for a venue to show at is equally as tough. Ive been getting some great advice from some photographer friends and might have some leads. Ordered some sample 24x36 inch prints to see how they look and then will have to think about $$ and printing, framing,etc (I will gladly take contributions from people who hell bent on helping me getting my work out there)

For now....lets see

HOW MANY PEOPLE will look at the GALLERY OF IMAGES that I'm hoping to EXHIBIT and......how many people will post comments on the blog and link to my website gallery on their FB instead of just checkin it out?......I WANT BUZZ, so look, talk, tweet, bark, howl about this photo series !

Now to make it interesting...if you respond to this post and guess the right number of people who read it, Ill send you a free print.

This weekend...headin up Route 61 to Little Rock. ROAD TRIP!

Everyones talking - Most views on blog in one day EVER!

Everyone's talking about the Mod Dance Party photos! I checked my Google Analytics today and saw that I had the highest number of people ever in one day, check out my blog after linking from Facebook. Wish I would have linked back to my website in that post, would have driven lots of traffic.

The original intention of this blog was to document my attempt to market myself and develop some tools to draw more people to see my work.

The simple rule that's been discovered.....

Great parties = lots of people checking out your photos!

Tonight off to NOMA for Culture Collisions 2, Ill be manning the Photo Alliance booth, hanging with other local arts orgs and listening Matty spins some tunes.
