    I’ve just been having too much fun shooting photos learning as much as I can about this D300 the last few days. I put a few of my favorite shots from yesterday and the day before in an album. Check it out below.

    I shot these photos a month ago today, and have seriously been slacking at getting them up. I just keep getting distracted with other stuff and totally forget over and over. I bumped into J-Bomb last night and he reminded me, so without anymore rambling, here are a few of my favorite shots with links to the albums at the bottom.

    New D300

    Posted in: Photography

    So my friend Alex and I have officially started a photography business. The website will be up and running in a few days. We ordered a bunch of new gear and it all came in yesterday, so all day yesterday I was playing with my new Nikon D300. Wow it’s sick. I shot a few hundred photos yesterday using a few different lenses and an SB-900. Last night my friends in Scouts opened up for Taking Back Sunday at the Blue Note, and after the show we all partied at Sapphire Lounge. Scouts, Taking Back Sunday, and the other band (whose name slips my memory right now) were all there dancing and partying too. Check out some of my favorite shots from yesterday below, or just go to the album and look through them all.

    For anyone not in the know, my main man, Vega-Man, hits the big 21 on Monday. The time of reckoning is finally upon us, so raise your glasses high, because no one will party like this again… Watch out Columbia, it’s about to get real.

    So the other day I’m looking for a memory card to throw in my computer. Alex and I had just got our wireless triggers in the mail and we were jumping for joy, ready to give them a shot. Now normally there are memory cards laying all over my desk, my dresser, my ironing board, my tv stand, my bureau, hell even in my bed… I leave a path of memory cards where ever I am it seems. It’s handy because finding one when I need one is never an issue. So now I’m looking for a memory card and all of a sudden, NOTHING… Literally I cannot find even 1 SD Card laying around. So now my temper starts to flare up, I credit this keen ability to go from 0 to 60 in a drop of a hat to my Dad. My Dad is the coolest, calmest, nicest guy in history, always on the level, but if you move his tools, get a tape stuck in his tape player in his truck, or any other slightly annoying thing he is liable to “flip his shit.” I think I inherited this trait from him, because within 2 minutes of not finding a single SD card anywhere in my room I might as well have been a suicide bomber. Then alas! I find one… Put it in the camera, go to take a picture, and I get an error I’ve never seen on the screen. Corrupted Card… So now I’ve gone 0-60-0 and now quickly back on my way to 60 again. I reformat the card in camera, still corrupted… Luckily I found an SD card on the floor near me asap and forgot about the damn corrupted card till today. So I plug the card into my computer, not sure what I’m going to find, only to discover it’s filled with photos… All photos I’ve already uploaded, so it’s worth deleting, but then I found a couple cool shots from a trip out to Lawrence this summer with Fare Thee Well and my band Get Serious. So without further adieu here are 6 random shots I was stoked to find on a memory card that almost gave me a brain aneurysm.

    Well after some input from Justin Scott I decided the other week to try and get a lightbox mod up and running… Failed. I tried a few days later… Failed… Today at about 11:45 I took the site down to really give this a shot… After getting super pissed, breaking part of my desk, and developing a massive head ache I now have it up and running, and all posts loaded with images from here on out will be sporting the lightbox mod. I also went back and updated the most recent photo shoot with Roxie from Q106 to be up to par with the lightbox ish.

    So to show you what it basically runs like, heres the Hollywood Rebel Photo shoot from the other night. You can click each individual image and see it load, close it, and open another, or you can navigate through them with your arrow keys. All my sets/photos on the site in the future will be running like this with a link below to the album. Thank god

    Note: Make sure my site is fully loaded before you click on pictures, otherwise they will load in a new window and not in the lightbox mod. By the time you finish reading a post the site should be fully loaded. Thank you.

    So today I wake up and check the usuals (gmail, myspace, facebook, flickr, etc.) and in my inbox on myspace is a letter from my good friend Randie, aka Roxie from Q106.

    so i bought a GLITTER GUN!
    it shoots puffs of confetti everywhere and
    its the raddest thing ive ever seen....
    AAAAND I wanna do a photo sesh with it. in ACTION!
    Ill give you --- to shoot me. and then another ---
    on the 15th if you want. 
    (tony: none of your business what I made)
    i was thinking a rather simple background.
    indoor preferabbly cause its fucking cold.
    any ideas?!?!?!?!

    Well immediately I responded that I’d love to do it. As the day wore on we found out the local big concert venue here in town was not being used tonight. Randie sometimes bar tends there, so she was able to talk to her manager who let us in to shoot some photos on the stage of her and her glitter gun. It was a blast, and after she was out of rounds for her gun we took a few fun shots by the bar. Check out the shots/album below. We also took two shots I photoshop’d into one. I hope you enjoy.
