This is the building where I work in the Warehouse District. I never saw the bird until later. Lucky shot.

There has been a large number of requests for prints lately, so I've done some checking around and I can now fulfill orders. I am offering 8 X 10s for $20 each (shipping included). Email me to place an order.

Jamie is a glass-blower who stays almost permanently drunk in a little shack on Madeline Island. "All the girls I meet come here to party and only stay for a few days," he said. "I'm in heaven."

In a move which I can't help but see as tempting fate, my children's's stepfather bought my 16 year-old son Joey a shiny new red '97 convertible Camero. What? Me worry?

Possessing eerie powers, Trampled by Turtles can make you love bluegrass. This was shot last month at 5 Corners combining a long exposure with a flash. I'll be spending part of the day with these guys today, shooting them in rehearsal and then at a gig. Fun fun fun.
There is a gallery of photographs from this show.

Taken shortly after my encounter with The Ear, this was a chance shot on the way back to the car.

The Ear sat across from me at Peter's Grill in Minneapolis and ordered a liver sausage sandwich from behind his StarTribune, never revealing himself.

Raise the Red Lantern is a post-hardcore punk band out of Chicago that makes huge heavy sounds. Their live show is overwhelming and thunderous. I spent some time getting to know their drummer, Joe Suta, a stencil graffiti artist with a half-pipe in his living room. There's a really good sixosix article about him you can read.

Found this while going through some old shots. It's of my son taken sometime last year on the same night as this one.

Marc hasn't decided what to call his new band. So far I've heard The Cathode Rays, Swordfight, The Gay Blade, Gart Band, and Hollywood Guitar Band. Secretly, I think he should call it Voltron. Whatever it's called, the music they recorded at Sacred Heart Studio was superb.
Note: The band later went through 2 more name changes becoming The Language of our People before settling on no wait wait.

Another shot from Madeline Island, this one at Tom's Burnt Down. I have no idea who this woman is. In line for the restroom, she made a drunken pass at me completely unaware she was being photographed.

This was taken at Low's acoustic show at the 400 Bar celebrating the release of the box set A Lifetime of Temporary Relief, which I have been listening to all day. In addition to 3 discs of music, there's a DVD containing some excellent documentaries by Marc Gartman.
There is a gallery of photographs from this show.

Saturday night on Madeline Island. Pot smoke so thick even my camera was seeing trails. The dred-locked guy in the photo was one of the first islanders I met. As I was being introduced, a family walked by and the father remarked "Kids, that's Brian. Don't lick any stamps he gives you."

Amy and Hans are a deadhead couple I met on Madeline Island. This was taken during a Tarot reading at Tom's Burned Down Cafe.

Recently, I was curious about a button I saw on Erik Berry's mandolin that said "The Keep Aways." A couple days later I got to see this Duluth punk trio bash out a short set in their basement to a capacity crowd. Great show.

"San Francisco is awash in hearts," says Heather Powazek Champ of this photo, the fifth in a series about the Hearts in San Francisco street exhibit. "What hearts? All I see is holes," you say? Take a step back and look again.
Thanks Heather!

Sacred Heart is a gothic cathedral that has been repurposed as a recording studio. Outside during a break in Marc Gartman's session, I caught the sun playing in the stained glass. From the inside, that particular upstairs corner room is incredible and, some say, haunted.

Marc Gartman's new band, yet unnamed, recorded several songs for an upcoming album at Sacred Heart, a recording studio set up in an acousticly rich cathedral in Duluth, Minnesota.

Spiders don't give me the creeps. Hornets do. W Bush does. But spiders are cool with me, only this one was slightly huger than I'm used to seeing. A big plump strawberry with eight legs clinging to the side of a Deja Vu strip joint like a guard dog.
