I was in Richmond last weekend to work on some stories for Meet Virginia (check it OUT if you haven't---it's my new baby). Anyway, here are the outtakes--too artsy for the articles and way more the kind of stuff I like to shoot to boot!

Winterized
Anna & Marek Strachan
There's lots to be said for February. It's cold but it's short and sweet. Above is what we're driving towards: green, climbing Spring. Below is where we've been. Grey and muted and monotoned winter--but beautiful nonetheless.

TOOL
I got to shoot Tool last Friday night. Super honor. Also was my first time shooting at Hampton Coliseum. This was a great opportunity and I loved it. The bummer of the thing was that I only got the first song to be up there. I unfortunately wasted a good 20-30 seconds switching out lenses, which flustered me. Also, they had heavy fog machine presence throughout the song so there was a haze over many of the pics.
I don't know if it was nerves, or lack of time, or the fog, but I'm not thrilled with the results. However, they are here nonetheless, as I was the only photographer there and I'd hate for there to be no record of it. I wish I'd been able to shoot more from further away, as the light show and art on the screens was definitely more visually rad than Maynard.
Stay tuned for a review on AltDaily in the coming days.
Update: Here's the AltDaily Review. Also, scroll to the bottom, as we added our only passable shot of drummer Danny Carey per a reader's request.

Love Local Music
Greetings and Salutations. I've been working with the good folk over at Veer Magazine over the last couple of months as a member of the judge's panel for their upcoming Local Music Awards on February 15. By "working" I mean listening to lots of music and telling the powers that be what I'm digging....and interviewing local trio DJP & Mr T for their cover story about local bands and the show. Read it here.
OK Back to the Awards Show:
The contest works like this:
There's some judges (like me and many other bloggers, promoters, musicians, writers, DJ's, etc. involved in the local scene).
Those judges name a bunch of stuff we like.
Those results are tallied and sent out to YOU: the eyes and ears of 757 Music.
You vote HERE.
The judges also vote on those finalists--but with some fairness and rules so we can't just promote our friends and interests.
The results come in and are announced February 15 at The Naro. The show is going to be awesome. You should go go go if you're in town.
The performing bands are following the show's mantra "Love Your Local Music" and its proximity to Valentine's Day. Their only song requirement is that the title must contain the word "love."
Come! Enjoy some Starr Hill Love, some "Love Me Do" and some Love from your fellow music nerds.

Suburban Vid
Here's an awesome video from local band Suburban Living shot around Norfolk. Enjoy the sound and then check out more of their sweet tunes here. It's so pretty.

Mimeographed
My friend Alicia hit me up today with a picture of her street performing on Colley Avenue yesterday. Some would call her a mime though, to me, if you're not in the white makeup with the striped shirt, there is room for interpretation.
Alicia in Colley Avenue
Anyway, I'm stoked and inspired at her balls and whimsy and put together this little post of pictures of street performance and art inspired by it.
