Bill

I didn’t ask Bill to pose or smile. I liked his second portrait, but that wasn’t as sharp. Boo me.

Reflections of myself and Bill’s dad (upper left) was deliberate.

Taken inside his dad’s garage, and hopefully soon to be his recording studio.

James

This is my favorite shot of James from Halloween night. He’s dressed as Alex from “A Clockwork Orange.”

He’s come a long way

Portrait of Bill Ritter

Bill Ritter, guitarist and mastermind of The Scarlet Paradigm, and his own side project, William Alden Music. My title for the photo describes Bill as a budding audio engineer.

Caption: Bill recorded some drum tracks from James in the garage. I took this while they were listening to it. (May 24, 2009)

Hudson

It was great seeing James Taylor last night. I haven’t seen him in over a year. He made the long drive just to see my band play at the Terrace Restaurant in Pasadena.

I’ve known him since he was in sixth grade.1 We’ve kept in touch ever since. I do need to make the trek out to his area (Orange County) more often, especially to get him taking more photos.

I asked him if I could take his photo before he headed home.

The photo is in B&W (grayscale) because the street lights gave off two drastically different color temperatures.

  1. I coached him for a year. Football, basketball, baseball, soccer. Don’t ask me when that took place. I haven’t a clue!

Dedicated fans from San Diego

While waiting two hours in line for The Mars Volta concert at the Ventura Theatre, I met Chaz and Danielle.

This cute couple drove from San Diego. That’s dedication!

Chaz and Danielle let me catch a few precious moments of them. Very cool.

I gave them my card in case they wanted me to send them prints.

You can see this and two more on Flickr.
