So I’ve been pretty busy lately—too busy to update this site, apparently. Here’s what I’ve been up to. I reviewed Atlas Sound’s fantastic new record Logos for PopMatters. A few days before the album’s street date, I also photographed and reviewed Atlas Sound’s show with Broadcast at the Black Cat, which was one of the better shows I’ve seen this year. Later that week, I caught the Dirty Projectors at the Black Cat (review/photos here) and was thrilled to find that their live show has improved considerably since the last time I saw them. This week, I reviewed and photographed Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at the Verizon Center. The show was outstanding but my photos were not, likely because I showed up at the venue with a 50mm lens, only to find that the photogs were stationed behind the soundboard, 100 feet from the stage (basically, I pulled the photographic equivalent of bringing a knife to a gun fight). Finally, I was interviewed in Washingtonian Magazine, for an article on DCbeer, which is a site I take pictures for sometimes.
