stripped // jon hope "hellogoodbye"

The latest video in my stripped series features Jon Hope. We met in college and I'm happy to say he is just as nice of a person as he was all those years ago. He wrote this piece just for my project, which made me very proud. Even though we were battling the loud sounds coming from a construction site a street over, I'm happy how this video came out.

Photo by David ApuzzoI had to use this photo because I was just chatting on twitter with the subject of this photo, musician Mike Falzone. He makes the funniest videos on YouTube and he's an amazing musician. Definitely check out his YouTube channel. David Apuzzo is also an amaing photographer so check him out as well.

These photographs of suitcases that were found in the attic of the Willard Asylum for the Insane in New York are intriguing and unsettling at the same time. It's so sad that these people had their belongings taken away from them to be locked away in the attic, never to be returned to their rightful owners.

Meta P in the Providence Phoenix

A photo I took of Rhode Island based emcee Meta P. I had the pleasure of shooting him a few weeks ago for an article he would be featured in for the Providence Phoenix. Well it's out and I was surprised to see it on the cover as well as accompanying the article. Needless to say I was pretty excited.

Meta P's new album Edison's Ink is now available for sale.

Dropkick Murphys @ Fenway Park

Yesterday I posted the photos from Mighty Mighty Bosstones portion of the show at Fenway Park. I mentioned that this was my third time shooting the Dropkick Murphys. The sun had set, the stage lights turned off, a spotlight turned on to the Green Monster which followed the Dropkicks as they came down, walked across the field, and came on stage. The crowd was going wild. Evey time I see them, be it in a large venue with thousands of people or a bar with a three hundred people, the show is just as energetic and fun. Tonight I'll be shooting Dropkicks again at The Whiskey Republic for their Shamrock N' Roll Festival.

These are just a few of my favorite shots of the Dropkick Murphys. Check out all the photos from this show on Flickr.
