a night at the blue whale

i am really into this tri-x look. it reminds me of simpler days like hanging wet film in the dryer closet, the smell of acetic acid and having fun making a photograph. i hated tri-x back then, i thought it was crude. i wanted the perfection of reality, until i discovered kodak 2475 film.

sadie and the blue devils

sweet sadie (sara coultas) and her new band the blue-eyed devils take old-timey songs and start swinging at mr T’s bowl, may 21, 2011. really low light levels and a white dress make for big chunky grain.

taumbu international ensemble

this series of images were used on a cd release for taumbu the latin jazz & world music ensemble for the japanese market. we wanted to portray the love and joy that spills out of the tropical sounds of taumbu. normally i wouldn’t consider a tear sheet in this format, but this is one of my favourite latin jazz ensembles and i like the way the designer used the key photograph in its entirety, so check it out below. (if you go to japan, get me some copies!)
