Rhyming words

It's been damn near forever since I've posted anything, mainly because I've suddenly become a homeowner. One of these days, I'll actually get around to blogging about the progress of the renovations, but every time I have a moment to write I become acutely aware that I could be using that time to patch/sand/prime/paint/tear out/put in/restore/remove something in the house. Is there a variant of that old chestnut "If there's time to lean, there's time to clean" -- so often heard at shitty jobs coming from the mouths of shitty bosses -- that could apply to my situation? "If there's time to blog, there's time to..." The rhyming words that immediately come to mind don't seem to fit.

Oh well.

Above is a photo from (surprise) the 4th of July (hence the fireworks) -- one of the first days I allowed myself a break from working on the house.

Photography: Telepathe / Ladytron / The Faint

On April 2nd, I attended the Telepathe / Ladytron / The Faint show at First Avenue. My friend Ben Zvan had invited me to shoot photos at the show with him. Unsurprisingly, it was a great show all around. It was my first time shooting with my new camera -- and for the most part I'm pleased with the results. I wish I had some faster lenses, but all things in time. It'll also be nice as I get a bit more familar with the new gear.

Below are a few of my favorite images. You can browse the larger gallery here. I'll link to the stuff [the other] Ben shot as soon as he gets it posted.
