Jukebox The Ghost

I recently wrapped up a shoot with Jukebox The Ghost this week.

I first saw these guys with Ra Ra Riot late last year, and was quite impressed -- especially considering I am not so keen on piano rock.

Test shot with Jesse

Here's a sneak peak of what came of it:

I'll post the photos soon.

Their debut album, Let Live & Let Ghosts, is in stores Tuesday. In the meantime, download the Jukebox The Ghost "Good Day" (REMIX) from their MySpace page here.

Jedi Night

Kickstart 2008 - Jedi Knights' Scooter Club Party

Last night, I was asked to photograph the Jedi Knights Scooter Club's Kickstart 2008 party at Double Down Saloon. Growing up in the UK, I've always been a fan of scooters and mod culture. I even did some work with British Mod clothing giant, Ben Sherman, several years back.

The party was full of good people and good times. They even had some go-go dancers, though I missed the girl fire-blowing.

Click here or on any of the photos to visit the rest on my Flickr.

My first hate mail

Wow - I just received my first hate mail.

There are always a few people who thrive on attention, especially when they see someone with a camera.

Honestly, I'm a bit of an introvert, known to be shy with people I don't know, and sometimes I just don't want to be bothered.

I guess you can never please everyone.

Anyhow, I thought you all could use a good laugh.

Just wanted to tell you that your a real arrogant prick. Wow, your a photographer. Whoopty freakin' doo. You act like your some big shot. Your rude, disrespectly and arrogant for no reason. Wow, i take pictures of bands. Your just a loser, plain and simple. Take a look in the mirror, you might even see it yourself. And if everyone had a camara like yours than we could all take those pictures. Go screw yourself and I hope your arrogance screws you in the ass one day.

Have a good one!
