Fade To Black | Photography

After many sleepless nights, weeks of preparation and anticipation have paid off. I’m still recuperating, but I couldn’t help but edit up a few shots!

In ramping up for their second album, I’ve been working close with Airiel Down on recrafting their image. At the same time, this gave me the perfect opportunity to unleash my new technique for shooting and editing. I am very pleased with the results.

In light of the September 6th show for Raleigh Wide Open 3, I’ve started crafting banners for Airiel Down, who is the lead opening spot for Saturday night, which will be followed by Soul Asylum and Lou Gramm (Foreigner)

First one up, currently on the Airiel Down MySpace

More about Raleigh Wide Open 3:

Raleigh Wide Open 3 (RWO3) will be the grand opening celebration for the Raleigh Convention Center. 

The 36-hour downtown blast will begin Sept. 5 with a noon ribbon cutting. Then the fun really begins at 5 p.m. with RWO3 flooding Fayetteville Street. The brand-new convention center will be the site of the International Flavor Festival and preview of future center shows. Saturday, Sept. 6 is a 12-hour blast running from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.    
The convention center will include more than 500,000 square feet configured into 19 individual meeting rooms, a 150,000-square-foot exhibit hall and a 32,000-square-foot ballroom. An attached four-start Marriott hotel will offer 15,000 square feet of additional meeting space. To take a virtual tour, visit www.raleighconvention.com/tour.

Welcome. I’m having the main FTB page re-route here because I want a complete overhaul of the website. I hate the way it is right now, but I’m too occupied to design one up. So, I’ve created a new journal and beefed it up. Not only will this be more interactive, but it also forces me to use it more!

When I go a few days without sleep, a spark in my mind fires up and feeds me crazy ideas.

I kinda like it.

Day 2.5 without rest, here’s some portraits, new and old, I edited up.

To properly initiate my new page, I bring you some concert video from local Raleigh band Pivot. The video is a cover of Muse’s original, killer song. Enjoy!
