One of the reasons why I slightly prefer New York to Seattle is that, even though it gets cold here, it's generally sunny. Sure it rains, snows, hails, ice storms and anything else one could bitch about, but when it does the previously mentioned things... there's some effort put into it. I'm seriously considering walking to work tomorrow.
I've got a ton of sun peeking out into my pictures behind this and that. Obviously it creates some lens flare, but I'm more than happy to have it. I can't w
ait for the summer. The music gets a little livelier, beer tastes better, it's finally warm and girls shed a few layers of clothing which never hurts anything.Unfortunately I won't be heading to Wisconsin for my grandfather's funeral this weekend as the weather has gotten too bad to drive and my dad just needs to fly there. I was looking forward to going there, seeing what everyone had to say about the man, and taking some photos along the way.
My work is going along well. My pop wants me to shoot the promo for his agency in the next few weeks. This excites and scares me. It's a great opportunity, but I don't know what the fuck I should do. I'm not so great at chasing muses and so, in that spirit, I'm sure something will come. Also, I'm shooting Cursive in a club about the size of my living room in a few weeks. It should be good. I'll post some of that shit when I get it done.
nice bro' what club are they playing?
ReplyDeletei was going to comment on your previous post, about how i never met my dad's dad. it's a trip to try and sum up who they were just from stories you've heard. supposedly any of the musical aspects of my gene pool were thrown in from the grandfather i never knew.
good to hear you're making progress with the photography, and enjoying the weather.
They are playing 2, one here in Brooklyn called Union Hall. I like the place for tunes because it's the basement of a larger meathead bar (think Dante's) but they book decent bands and it's about as far away from my house as Dick's is from yours.
ReplyDeleteAbout the grandfather thing, I feel ya. I'm not sure what to think about him and, although I'm not having an existential crisis over it, I'm disappointed. I'm sure it's frustrating for you knowing you won't be able to pick your grandfather's brain about Charles Mingus and things of that nature. What did he play?
Oh and the other venue is the Mercury Lounge over in Manhattan.
