The boys have been busy, busy, busy...and once they shoved a camera in my hands, they've kept me busy, busy, busy too, with the photography of their creative efforts. The real work for me is after the photo shoot is over...well, OK, it's more fun than work, because I get to take all these wonderful images and play with them.
Here are some of my favorites:
Well, OK, this one isn't of the band, it's the latest in the series of illustrations based on lyrics from Statobahn. This one is for "Beautiful Ruin." I've been after a good moon shot for a long time, and, while this one isn't perfect, it is acceptable enough, given the foreground of empty branches. My poor little camera just can't get enough detail on the moon itself to make a truly noteworthy moon shot. More later, once I can invest in good digital gear and PhotoShop.
Now for some band pics:
Of all the shots I've taken, this one is my favorite - and I'm not sure why. There's the reflection in the drum kit, the framing of the piece, the simplicity. Once I converted this one to a B&W shot, it amped up the punch significantly.
Just look at the movement on this one - the fingers are translucent, as I shot them while Randy was playing his bass. The string is also captured in mid-vibration.
And here are the boys - from top left: Pete Torres, Randy Rock, Tony Dietzler, and Dave Hucke. This is one of several covers I've put together for them to promote their new single. This one is my favorite, but probably won't be the one chosen, as the boys have the final say (it is THEIR band, after all, I just like to take pictures of 'em).
That's enough for now, I think....
