Random Shoot December, 2008 + David Bazan!

Last friday was a ton of fun! A few months ago I heard that David Bazan was playing a free show in St. Louis, Missouri. David Bazan being one of my favorite artists made the 4 hour journey seem like a walk in the park, so of course I was going. Let me just say now, if you haven't heard anything by Dave Bazan, I strongly suggest you do. And while you're at it, you might want to head over to your nearest record store or itunes and purchase everything he's been a part of!

So I asked four of my good friends to come along. One of those friends being Josh Solar..

Since Josh was coming, we thought, why not make this road trip our monthly random shoot.

So here we go ... THE JOURNEY BEGINS!

PS... Let me just warn you this is a BIG post. Lots to look at. Enjoy.

The guys

We started our pics in a town I have been wanting to visit for a long time, just because it has an intriguing name.

Emma Missouri...

Just basically one main road with some churches, houses and this amazing building with all this weird air force equipment in the parking lot

Yup. Those are missiles

So, Emma was rad, but we were running about 30 minutes behind and running out of daylight so we continue on our journey...

Suddenly, on the side of the highway, I see a magnificent sight ... It's a plot of land with old broken down cars as far as the eye can see!! Many of which, I hadn't even heard of.

I could have spent all night there, but now we were really running out of time and daylight since we were running like 30 minutes late!

So Brandon hopped in our newly acquired ride and we drove the rest of the way to St. Louis ...

Phew ... after a long drive and a couple of miss-maps with the GPS, we finally made it to the show!

Now the first band was called Via Audio. They weren't bad, but the real star was the bass player. He brought a whole new energy to the show. Very fun to watch.

I was also recording the show with my little sony high def, so most of my attention was on that. I didn't get all the pictures I wanted but Josh has a lot more HERE

At the end of the night we got to hang out a little bit with Dave, which was really cool. I've met him a few times and he's always rad to talk to.

Like I said, I filmed the show, so hopefully I will have a little album teaser up soon for Dave's new record, so check back soon.

ps... Sorry about all the 30 minutes stuff Sassy. We love youz! and thanks for paying for parking!

Random Shoot, November 2008

So every month for a little over a year, my good friend Josh and I have gone out on a random adventure to take pictures of things we find in small towns, big cities, or just anywhere we don't normally go. These trips are always fun and teach me a lot.

Our first adventure was last October. We went to a small town called Levasy Missouri. It was a lot of fun and we got a lot of strange looks from passers by like we always do on these shoots.

Since it has been a year, we decided to take it back to where it all began.

My friends, I give you Levasy Missouri. Population 108 (according to the sign).

And here is a taste of the last 13 months. One from every shoot starting with the first, ending with last month.

Look closely ... there is something to be learned in every single one of these images.
