Last night, Math the Band and Andrew W.K. played in the Grind at Clark University. I covered the event for ROCU's website and these are only a few of what I got. I still have tons more unedited and I wish I had thought ahead enough to put the Math the Band photos before the AWK photos but no one is perfect. I had a blast at this show. Both Math and AWK were great and the whole show had an incredible energy. I was sitting on the stage for most of these and at the end of the show I was trampled by the crowd trying to get past me. But my camera and I are fine and I have walked away with some cool images and only a few bruises to show for it. If for any reason, you want to use these (or any others on my blog), I must insist that you contact me for consent: jmckinley@clarku.edu. Thanks.

Math the Band opening for Andrew W.K.

I never thought it would happen, but finally spring has come to Worcester. It is a strange time of year; sun is out but the leaves haven't grown back yet so the trees are bare. The light reflects off of everything creating a an unusual brightness. It can be hard to photograph at times but it's really beautiful. These images are from my latest Worcester exploration. Hopefully I will be doing this alot this summer.

I have nothing to add this week other than old film scans. I happened upon this contact sheet last night and thought some of these might be worth scanning. I shot them last summer and, even though they are not great, it was something I had been thinking about for a long time. Each of these were 15-20 minute exposures, taken with my 35mm Canon F-1. Hopefully next week I will add some more recent work.
