Outta My Light

Great photography always boils down to great "photo", in it's literal sense. Although light should always be taken into consideration when taking a photograph, light itself can often times be the subject.

In the word of "Little Wings":


Got it like a ghost that girly gleaming
Look at what the light did now

Take Away Shows

If you haven't heard of the Take Away Shows, I worn you now, make sure you don't need to be productive because this site is known to suck you into an video watching oblivion more powerful than a cigarette addiction.

The Take Away shows, hosted on "La Blogotheque" are short films of indie musicians performing in the streets of Europe. (But mainly in Paris). Filmed by Vincent Moon they are not only beautiful in color and surprisingly high quality in sound, but also powerful in their spontaneity. Unscripted performances while walking through the streets allows room to see the reactions of people and oftentimes their eagerness to join in the music. The melding of created sound with natural noise is raw, beautiful and inevitably addicting.

Special thanks to Maggie who sent me Bon Iver "Lump Sum" and gave me the key to this magical music portal.Here are a few of my favorites:

Bon Iver




Arcade Fire



Yeasayer



Sufjan Stevens
