Hello and welcome people. The Queen is here and bringing to you a quick and special set taken last weekend at Flower Blade Studios. The band I got to shoot, Vladez, a Jam, Blues, Progressive band from my neck of the woods.
You’ve heard it before and I am most certain you will hear it a few times more to say the least, however I have been a very busy queen. I realize it’s not about having the time, it’s about making it and so I’ve been putting in hours both in my day job and in to my photography. After all, it is my passion, my life. The bills do still need to be paid though, so until I’ve learned to split myself in two, I do what I can do. I digress. About two months ago I had the opportunity, as well as the pleasure, of making it out to Cheers in Ft. Lauderdale to check out some local bands doing what they do. It had been a while since I had shot live and so I was a bit rusty, however it did not make it any less exciting for me. After all, shooting live music is my passion.
Hello, hello, world. It’s the Queen checking in on a quick little post before work. Time has been in short supply for me and there’s been quite the load for me and so forgive me for being brief. Despite the lack of time, one thing I have not allowed myself is to be without taking some shots here and there. That being said, I’m bringing to you a very special set of images today. You see, last month’s full moon was very special. Not only was it a red moon, it was also the night of a full lunar eclipse and apparently the only one we will be able to see for the next twenty years. If it’s even possible, I’m still on a high from this night. (more…)
What can I say… another favorite band of mine closed down the house and I was loving it… It’s kind of hard not to with a group of talented individuals.. It was almost bittersweet to have their set end, however all things com to an end as they say. (more…)
It’s with great excitement that I’m writing this post. For several reasons, actually. First and foremost, on a personal level I was able to make it out to Cheers in Ft. Lauderdale this last Friday night to support some friends of mine and my favorite bands. I love going out to see live music, meeting new people and in general, having a great time. Secondly, and equally as important, I got to shoot live. Now, mind you, it’s been quite some time since I’ve shot live music. It hasn’t been easy for me to find the time lately although it is my favorite type of photography. This particular event though, I could not miss. (more…)
Yes, it’s a mic stand. But look at it, just look at it. It’s raw, it’s cold and oh so sexy. This is freaking art and Sean at Sawbladehead Designs is genius. I initially wasn’t going to write a post just on a stand, however, looking at the pictures, how could I not? (more…)
With coffee in hand and a great movie on TV, I’m taking this quick little moment to bring to you a little set I worked on recently. As I may or may not have said previously, I take my camera everywhere. If it’s not in my hands, it’s right inside my bag. It’s an extension of me and I feel as if I’m missing a part of myself when I don’t have it near. Well, enough about me, on to the post. (more…)
I love architecture, old and new alike. There is just something about the materials used, the lines created, and sometimes, even the colors employed within the design. That being said, I decided to take a trip to the Miami International Airport. (more…)
I decided to call it an early night tonight. I just had to get home and edit. It was like a call I could not ignore. Granted, this set I’m bringing to you is from a quick little drive-by I did earlier on this week. What I’m editing is a back of a Throwback, Flash-forward little set I’ll be working on. But for that you can stay tuned and see for yourself. On to this set. (more…)
“You must burn. Burn higher.
Burn for everything you have ever wanted. For everything you have ever lost, for every crack in your heart and every fraction of every irreplaceable moment.
Burn high for love.
For fear. For life.
Burn as fast and as long as you can.
You must burn, burn higher.
Because nothing in this world will kill you faster than a dying fire.”
― Mia Hollow (more…)
