I'll be updating this with time. Wait isn't that the definition of a blog? What I mean is that I know I have a lot of fun of Montreal pictures that I'll be posting so be sure to check back in the future if you're interested. Thank you.

Keep Going Keep Going Keep Going....

I've been very fortunate these past couple of weeks to have had some attention from some very crafty writers. A lot of this attention has been garnered from the Lake Worth Photo Project series.

Article by Colleen Dougher of "City Link Magazine"

Article by Monica Uszerowicz of Broward/Palm Beach's New Times "County Grind"

Here's a photo I took of New Times' Courtney Hambright's article about the Lake Worth-It Music Festival.

This article also appeared online. Isn't that a great photo of John Ralston? (That was a trick because if you said yes I can now say:) I took it! After John's photo was done for the Lake Worth Photo Project, John asked me to do an impromptu photo session in Honeycomb.com creator, Steev Rullman's backyard. I don't want to get anyone's (MY) hopes up, but John said a photo from that session may go in his new cd.....

ANOTHER great write up from Courtney detailing the Lake Worth-It Music Fest can be found on her website, moodvane.com
The day after te festival was the first time I "officially" met Courtney, as I knew her name from various New Times reviews. This was the night I sang with fire Zuave as we and Sweet Bronco opened for of Montreal frontman, Kevin Barnes. This is what Courtney had to say about her night (again found on her blog):

"I went up early for the sound check, which put me in the path of Monica McGivern, with whom I spoke for about an hour. She’s the photographer/artist who did the black and white photos of Palm Beach musicians. I was slow to admit that I missed her exhibit at the festival. I was very happy to learn that she put the photos up on her website foodshelterart.She got up on stage to sing with Fire Zuave, and harmonized with frontman Chuck Andrews beautifully. Wow, how can one person have so many different talents? Spending a bit of one on one with Monica was one of my favorite experiences of the weekend."

Soo nice! I especially love what she said next as she referred to myself and New Times photographer, Ian Witlen, as rockstars who don't need guitars.

I've met so many interesting people through a shared love of music.......

Polaroids

I've been making a few digital "polaroids." IMG_0188Pe
While preparing for a drive down to Miami to see bands "The Jameses" and "Guy Harvey", my friend Anita and I listen to "Rat People" by The Jameses. We really enjoy local bands. We also really enjoy local bands that are putting out LP's. Thanks guys. It was a very lively show! I personally find Miami a bit intimidating but am always intrigued each time I go...this show was worth the drive!

I found a free font online. I'm hoping it's not laced with viruses because I really enjoy being able to use my laptop. I have been known to spend hours at Barnes and Noble oogling fonts and graphic design color scheme books. I look forward to using this font to etch beautiful pixels across colorful images again and again....stay tuned!

Lake Worth Photo Project Part I

My latest project was exhibited last Saturday. I photographed 40 musicians from the Lake Worth area to begin a documentation project that I plan to continue. Next year around this time I'd like to put out a book. For now though, here are the 40 musicians together on a poster, plus the first ten individual images in the series:
