This is a building I’ve photographed a lot over the years, but never like this. On Friday night, Tanlines and Yeasayer performed at the Guggenheim Museum for the It Came From Brooklyn Concert Series. Having press access to the space really helped out in terms of getting to where I needed to be. The stage was situated at the foot of the rotunda in the lobby, surrounded by the Kandinsky exhibition. Both performances were out of this world, and the ambient light only lent itself to my color treatment on these images. I’d like to thank Jesse from Tanlines for the press pass and invitation, and the Guggenheim staff for being so accomodating. I’m really proud of Eric and Jesse from Tanlines; they played great and on a very special stage. Also, big ups to Ira from Yeasayer, who also put on a great performance.

Restless People led off the night with their second show of the day for the True Panther showcase at Piano’s. Restless People killed it, followed by equally amazing sets by Janka Nabay, Glasser, Delorean, and Lemonade, respectively. I’m not really a fan of live performance photographs but if anything, it’s a good exercise. Josh Haner, a staff photographer for the New York Times, was also there at the show, and he does it much better. Check out his CMJ portfolios on the New York Times website. His photo of Delorean is below. Lastly, I’d like to thank Dean for curating one of the best shows of the week.

Telephoned is a collaboration between my friend Sammy Bananas (Fool’s Gold) and singer Maggie Horn. They played a CMJ show this week In Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and I was feeling the music and the lighting.

The CMJ Music Marathon descends upon New York once again. Last night, Glasser and Cold Cave played incredible sets at the Stereogum / Believer Party at the Webster Hall Studio. The evening started with Glasser, accompanied by Tanlines who will be performing throughout the week. If you missed it, check out the video of Glasser performing “Apply” which is posted below. I’d like to big-up Jesse for the great show and for listing me. Also, I’d like to quickly mention that Cold Cave is %$#*!@ amazing.
This year’s festivities had an epic start with the debut show by my good friends Restless People followed by a late night set by Washed Out at Santos. More photos and videos to come. Shouts to Tony Blankets for the auxiliary position which I shall try and make the most out of this week and Electric E for playing darts.

These are still-life images of a 1967 Gibson Les Paul guitar that a friend brought over for me to photograph. It has such a classic shape; it’s a beautiful instrument. It was kind of an exercise in still-life but the images turned out nice.
