I shot the lovely and talented Samba Mapangala and Nathaniel Braddock of the fabulous Occidental Brothers Dance Band International for the cover of this week’s Chicago Reader. In addition I shot Mission of Burma and Orquestra Contemporanea de Olinda for the Photo Pit page in the same issue.
The Blacks are celebrating the release of their new album tonight Schubas. I shot this picture for Magnet in 2000.
Here’s a picture of the sensational masked rock ensemble The Goblins, not to be confused with Italian prog-rockers Goblin, the California metal band Goblin Cock, or the Serbian punk outfit Goblini. Somebody needs to start a Wikipedia page on these guys.
The Goblins photographed for their album, Missing Fits. Photo: Jim Newberry.
I’ve been going through my archives preparing to do some portfolio updating for the new year. I came across this 2006 picture of the fantastic harpist, songwriter, and singer Joanna Newsom, shot in an Erdovator for Drag City.
I photographed Jack and Gretta for today’s Sharp Darts column in the Chicago Reader about their band, My Gold Mask. Here are a couple outtakes.
Time is running out! Bombaby Video, on Devon Avenue in Chicago, is going out of business, and prices are slashed. The place is stuffed to the gills with unusual and fascinating CDs, audio cassettes, and videos from the Indian subcontinent and beyond. The exotic titles available here for another week or two are not likely to be found at iTunes or your local hipster record store (not to mention chain stores). Head over there with a wad of cash and do some holiday shopping. Say hello to Sujay, the friendly and charismatic proprietor, and then get some delicious Indian food at one of the many Indian and Pakistani restaurants in the vicinity. (Thanks to Liam for introducing me to Sujay.)

Califone is playing a free show at Millenium Park on Monday. You should go–you need to get out more. A few years back I photographed Califone with a Kodak Stereo camera. Here’s a scan of the proof sheet.

It’s springtime, and Of Montreal is looking more fabulous than you are. Watch out for the ninja! If you’re so inclined, you can catch them in action in Toronto on May 4th; Paris May 8th, and on May 11th they’ll be taking the stage at the All Tomorrow’s Parties Festival in East Sussex, England.

I recently completed a personal project; a series of 30 individual portraits of the raucous, enchanting, Chicago “circus punk marching band,” Mucca Pazza. I shot the portraits in my studio on 4×5 Tri-X, using an old Deardorff 8×10 view camera with a reducing back:
Here’s one of the portraits:
And here’s the finished piece; a 20×30″ print with all portraits:

I shot publicity photos for charismatic R&B artist Marcus East last week. There was some confusion with him finding my studio–who knew there were two “Western” stops on the CTA Blue Line? If you’re dropping by my studio, (and please do–just call first) and you’re taking the el, make sure to get off at the Western stop that’s between Damen and California. Unless you’re looking forward to a long, long walk.
Here’s one of the shots from the session.
