The Blacks are celebrating the release of their new album tonight Schubas. I shot this picture for Magnet in 2000.

Gothicfest 2005, shot for Spin. I posted a few other pictures from that shoot a while back.

Their credo is violence…their god is hate. They call themselves Magic Milk. I shot the duo live a few weeks ago, and again in studio last weekend.

Kennedy Greenrod performed with The Thin Man at the Burning Whale benefit last Friday night, held at Bridgeport Chicago’s Co-Prosperity Sphere.

One more picture from the To The Moons! art party last weekend.

Here’s what I was thinking at the art-opening/loft party I attended Saturday night, as the duo Magic Milk prepared to begin their first ever live performance: our economy is tanking with 10% unemployment. The Supreme Court just ruled against campaign finance limits. Ted Kennedy’s seat was lost to a GOP’er and there’s little hope for any serious health care reform bill. Tens of thousands of people just died in Haiti. For the love of god, why bring more misery into the world by forming another crap rock band?

Who knew they’d be fantastic? So much for knee-jerk cynicism.

Violet Eyes, a brand spanking new video by the fabulous duo My Gold Mask, has just been posted. I shot and directed the video, which was shot both in HD (with the trusty Canon 5DMII) as well as with a low-res toy video camera (circuit-bent Fisher Price PXL-2000, aka “Pixelvision.”) Working with Jack and Greta and their Pug Roadie was a treat.
