    When I did the Lost and Found photo shoot, my good friend Alex Haycock came along to help me out and shoot some video as we did it. Since they dropped their debut mix tape last week I felt it was only appropriate to edit this video and put it up on my site for my friends. Check them out on myspace at myspace.com/yowerelost.

    Went to STL yesterday to shoot some promos of my friends in Lost and Found. Check out their myspace here, and keep your ear to the streets for their debut mixtape.

    Last Friday was the last show ever for Sapphire Lounge, and in honor of that, Jesse put something like 11 or 12 bands on the bill. I showed up to take pictures and shot photos of Nothing to Nothing, Old Men Dead Dogs, Fare Thee Well, and Steddy P. It was a good time and everyone had a blast. Sapphire will be missed but is relocating and reopening under a new name in June. I cannot wait for the new venue to open up so we (the hardcore/punk rock community) has a place to book shows that won’t screw us over at the drop of a hat.

    So on Saturday I had the great pleasure of shooting photos of my boy Steddy P at Mojos for the True/False Film Fest party. I strobed the show like I’ve done the last few, with an SB600, and SB800, and triggered with CLS from my D300. Check the slide show below and the link to the actual set underneath the slide show.

    Today I had the day off and decided to go on a “photo adventure.” I invited my friend Brooke along, and we headed off down 63. After a little brainstorming I realized today would be the perfect day to go down to the Lake of the Ozarks and check out the lake view patio where I’ll be shooting a wedding in July. I wanted to know exactly what the location was going to look like before I was surprised by anything on the big day. After that I went to check out a spot that overlooks part of the lake and I don’t think Brooke knew I intended to take photos of her, because quite honestly I find shooting photos of landscapes to be rather boring unless it’s a sunset or sunrise. She handled it like a trooper, and I was really happy with the final takes. She’s too cute, but like a typical girl, hates photos of herself. Oh well! Big shout to Brooke, the best road trip partner ever, can’t wait for next time. “Sorry I actually get jiggy with it” – Brooke. Slide show and link to the set are below as usual!

    Last night Saints Never Surrender, Hundredth, Sergio Slayer, and Fare Thee Well all performed at Sapphire Lounge here in Columbia, MO. This was Saints first time in Columbia, and the second time around in just a few weeks for Hundredth. Both bands played amazing sets and got kids moving around. Fare Thee Well opened up with a new jam which was so sick. I over heard some people saying that they hope it’s a sign of things to come out of the FTW camp. Furthermore last night was a breath of fresh air when the hardcore stopped for a moment and gave way to Sergio Slayer, a local hip hop artist. Although he was def a far cry from a hardcore band, he fit right in no problem with the other bands performing due to his enthusiasm and energy.

    Following the trend from Scouts show earlier in the week I strobbed this show as well with a Nikon SB800 and a Nikon SB600 both triggered with CLS. (For all my fellow camera nerds)

    I put together a little slide show from the show last night of a few of my favorite photos, BUT UNDER THE SLIDE SHOW ARE LINKS TO INDIVIDUAL SETS FOR EACH BAND. (I put this in caps and underlined it because all too often someone complains to me about not being able to save photos from the slide shows I’ve been doing recently even though I always put links to the sets below them. Go figure.) There are many more photos in the individual sets, I just picked a few for the slide show.

    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.
