She fell in love with the drummer

Okay, he’s not a drummer and she didn’t fall in love with him, but the girl in front of the stage is clearly enjoying Rhett Miller’s show with Starling Crush at le Poisson Rouge in New York a couple years ago as the light hits her face.

My year in photos: 2010

This was the first year of my life that I documented more with my photography than with my writing, especially if that whole picture = 1,000 words equation is true. Here are some of the things I saw in 2010, arranged, more or less, chronologically. For those of you who are curious about gear, I took most of the shots with a Leica M7, Leica M8, or Panasonic GF1. And I’m still waiting for my roll of Kodakchrome to be processed.

In the Sun

Joseph Arthur performed at Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco on January 20, 2010, and I took some photos with my Panasonic GF1 + 20mm pancake lens. I took all shots at f/1.7 and ISO 1600. Post processing in Viveza for the color image and Silver Efex Pro for the black and whites. In the first photo, I added some contrast and structure to Arthur’s face with Viveza. I also used Dfine for noise removal. I shot the final photo of the people standing next to me from the hip.
