I had the pleasure of going to Moonchine Bistro and Asian Lounge on Friday to watch my friends at Urban Rebel rock the place out. I was actually really excited to go to this show because I had heard it was an intimate venue. While most of the venues they perform at are considered small venues, this particular location was very small. (more…)
You could say I’ve been burning the candle at both ends this week. While work has been insane with preparing to move offices, upgrading computers and still keeping up with the flood of work that is my day to day, I’ve also been burning the midnight oil working on my photos from this last weekend at Fishoutawata at Tobacco Road here in downtown Miami.

I know it has been a couple of weeks since my last post. I’ve been quite busy with work and revamping my website. Needless to say, both tasks have taken up quite a bit of time. I did however take a break on Friday night to watch my friends, Black Jacket, do their thing at Will Call. They had asked me to come and snap a few photos. Since I haven’t been out to see them in a few months, I was more than willing to oblige. Since then a new vocalist has come on board and I was excited to hear them at a venue like Will Call. It was a great set and the boys, excuse me, men, are sounding great. As for my pictures, here are my favorites. I’m still trying to get the hang of the whole shooting manual mode. I especially want to get comfortable with going between the settings as needed while shooting. (more…)
This weekend I had the pleasure of going to the premiere of Urban Rebel’s new video, Awake. Once again, Urban Rebel did not disappoint. In fact, they raised the bar all the more. As for this queen, she was smart enough to bring her camera along to capture some of that energy. You see, though I’m not a professional photographer, I fancy myself UR’s personal photographer in a way and I am thankful for their appreciation of my photos. I love capturing their passion and the love they have for their art. I believe that is what truly shines through. I am also glad I can share it with you, readers. On that note I bring to you my favorite shots of evening. I present to you, Urban Rebel at the video premiere event for Awake.
Why hello there. I realize its been a few days since I’ve stopped by to share anything new with you. I have however been biding my time until now. The reason? I had waited for the arrival of my new lens. I am now the owner of a 17-55mm 2.8 Canon. Granted, it’s not an L lens and I will not be able to use it when I upgrade my Rebel in the future. However, being that the upgrade is a ways away both financially and in experience, I wanted to step up my walk around lens while at the same time gaining a bit more performance when I take in our local music scene.

I love downtown Miami at times. Take today for example and you can see why. Not really wanting to just sit around doing nothing during my lunch hour, I decided to go for a walk around the immediate area. No sooner did I step outside of my office building when I heard the beat of the drums. Well, it wasn’t actually drums I was hearing, rather it was drumming. (more…)
Last night we made it out to watch our favorite local band perform a fantastic set at the Native Florida Taproom and Music hall. While my camera struggled with my beginner’s skill level and the rather dim conditions, the band did not disappoint. I took quite a few photos yet was unhappy with most save for the few found here. The below photos are my favorite, however. Most importantly, the band loved them, too. I hope you enjoy them. If you’re ever in the South Florida area, look up Urban Rebel and head out to one of their shows. You won’t be disappointed. (more…)
Last Sunday I attended a positively phenomenal performance by one of the most talented group of young individuals. It was a musical stage play of Disney’s Tarzan as performed by the troupe from a local theater here in Miami, The Miami Children’s Theater. I had been expecting for it to be a great show, however, I came away completely amazed at just how wonderful this group of kids were. The level of passion and energy they placed in their performance was incredible and I was completely in awe. (more…)
This set is that of Urban Rebel also performing at STFUfest at Ft. Lauderdale’s Culture Room. This band was fantastic and I’m not just saying so because we are friends with the guitarist. These guys were great. Urban Rebel is a groove rock and heavy funk band from Miami, Florida formed in 2007. The band consists of vocalist Will Gonzalez, aka Trip “6”, bassist Laszlo Piringer, aka” LaC”, guitarist Alex Jose Gonzalez aka “Jim BOB”, DJ Barry GoldWater III and female drummer Elisa Seda, aka “E. Otherwise known as a great bunch of people. (more…)
Last weekend my wolf and I made it out to the Culture Room in Ft. Lauderdale to attend STFUfest. What started out as a night of support for two of our friends and their bands, turned in to a great night full of music and good times. We haven’t been to any shows in a little while and I figured what better way to get back in to the scene than to show some love for some very hard working and dedicated individuals. This particular set is that of Black Jacket. I will be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect when Captain Jack stepped out on stage, however it turned out to be a great set and these boys really know how to rock. (more…)
