Why haven’t I told THIS story yet? Probably because it’s been nearly six months. Probably because it’s so surreal that some part of me denies that it ever happened.
My experience at the Monolith Music Festival last September topped out with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on Saturday night. Not that everything surrounding it wasn’t perfection - [...]

The Night We Sang with Karen O
First Friday Self-Portrait
THE GOOD: I learned how to curl soft waves in my hair.
THE BAD: I nearly burnt my fingers off in the process.
THE REALLY GOOD? Since January, I thought I had broken one of my Nikon cameras. It’s been sitting in the corner, sad and listless, because I was in denial that eventually I’d have to [...]
Three Things.
ONE.
I can’t believe I’ve waited a month of unemployment before using my blog as a plea for writing gigs, but here goes: DO YOU WANT ME TO WRITE SOMETHING FOR YOU, NOT FOR FREE? I’LL DO IT.
TWO.
I ALSO TAKE PICTURES.
Look! I made these!

Oh I’m sorry, have you seen my socks? THEY SEEM TO HAVE BEEN ROCKED OFF.
This would be Phoenix at Monolith last September. (I KNOW IT’S NOT TIMELY, BUT THAT’S ALL I GOT RIGHT NOW PEOPLE.) Absolutely delightful and rockin’ and brimming with promise, these guys. There’s not much more for me to say without getting regretfully sappy. Love. Also, I just took a trazodone so that’s going to [...]
In Which I Expose Myself to Ridicule..Not Unlike Every Entry on This Blog.
HEY. Guess who has two thumbs and has more time to edit photos she took, oh…FOUR MONTHS AGO? THIS KID.
Here’s the thing. I am not a professional photographer. I was not paid to take pictures of the Monolith Music Festival. I simply had the badge that said I could.
Said badge also got me into the [...]
And everything is going to the beat. . .
Passion Pit - Sleepyhead
Continuing on the theme of, “My Photography Hard-On, Let Me Show You It” — Here are some photographs of one of my new favorite bands, Passion Pit, at Monolith Festival.
I was supposed to see these guys opening for Ra Ra Riot in Bloomington before they canceled. All the indie kids are going, [...]
Take Your Broke @$$ Home…
A long time ago, I came across a tagged photo of one of my best friends at a local show in New York or Chicago, I think. He was sweaty and smelly and shirtless, standing next to a guy pouring over a laptop, also sweaty and smelly and shirtless. Basically it was a bunch of [...]
She got jumper cable lips. . .
I have this blog entry that I wrote five years ago, recapping my experience at WZPL’s “Jingle Jam,” — a holiday concert featuring Howie Day, Maroon 5, and Jason Mraz. Go ahead. Read that roster again; I’ll wait.. . . . As if that lineup alone was not embarassing enough, the blog entry reads no [...]
You need to pick yo afro, Daddy, cuz it’s flat on one side…
I was watching the Project Runway premiere with Katie when we saw one of the models trotting down the catwalk with a big red curly ‘fro. “I wish I could have my hair like that for the fashion show.”
From my lips to God’s ears. To Beau’s ears. Because that’s what he had in mind.
We started [...]
Buddies.
I made a boat load of photographs Saturday, during which I drank amazing locally brewed beers and listened to great bands and made new friends. I’ll be sure to tell you all about it in the next couple posts, but here is just a taste:
Uriaha and myself, drinking what looks to be Blueberry Ale. Note [...]
Found.
The perfect red.

Not included: The lady-balls required to actually wear Ruby Woo.
Record Store Day!
Stayin’ busy.
A little while ago, Katie and I went to the National Record Store Day activities at Luna in Broad Ripple. Photo share!
Luna.
Katie. She’s kind of the most adorable ever, right? See the dandelion in her hand? A stranger just handed that to her. Yeah, it’s a weed, but strangers just hand her flowers. It’s [...]
Like No Business I Know
The last batch.
Um, can we talk about AMOEBA for a moment?
It’s like when you’re four and your parents take you to Disneyworld and as you step foot into the park your excitement gets too much and you run ahead of your parents in your pink Stride-rites and you whip around all wide-eyed as if to [...]
That Screwy, Ballyhooey Hollywood
Now that I’ve thoroughly depressed you, how about I distract you with the last of my shiny pictures from the City of Angels?
I’m not going to lie - Grauman’s Chinese Theatre kind of stressed me out. A bustling herd of tourists not watching where they are going is kind of a personal nightmare. However, it [...]
Santa Monica. II.
The Santa Monica Pier is pretty much a photographer’s dream. It’s bursting with vibrant color and brimming with expressive people.
