Some Dog carting action live from the studio.

Last weekend I photographed a load of Jerry Dammer’s keyboards for my upcoming photo book called Instrument. It was Guy Fawkes fireworks/ halloween weekend. This keyboard summed that up. Special thanks to Ben Norton for assistance and taking some shots as well. And Jerry of course for letting us do this.!

Tonight I photographed Nels Cline and Jeff Tweedy guitars for Instrument.
Special thanks to Eric and Jason, for setting it up.

BBC Maida Vale studios is 75 today. Former home of the Peel sessions. I have been 3 times over the years. The first time was for Solex’s Peel session. The other two were Modest Mouse and the Cribs.

If you ever hear any of these sessions listen close for the click of my shutter.
Below is from the Modest Mouse session circa 2007.

Leamington Spa October 8th.

I had the privilege of photographing Alex Kapranos and Nick McCarthy’s guitars and such on Saturday at the Brixton Academy. The shots will be featured in my next book of photography.

I’m scanning film at the moment. Yes I still shoot film. It takes longer to get results back, but if your patient its worth it. Then you have the accidents such as this overlap of the Crufts Dog show and The Cribs headlining Reading NME stage.
Here we have the Poodle group vs Gary Jarman.
More Cribs at Reading pictures HERE

The Cribs last night of tour. Here’s a shot of Ross one of my favorite drummers to photograph.
After 5 nights I need more.

I will be posting more Cribs photos here as i edit and shoot.
