Right Away, Great Captain!

Today I shot Andy Hull of Manchester Orchestra (MO) and Right Away, Great Captain!.
It was a fun day. I sat in on the MO rehearsal just before our shoot. They were working on their new record and I got to hear a new song they wrote today. It was pretty badass. Look for that record this fall/winter. It's gonna kick your ass. It was great seeing all the guys whom I used to spend the majority of my time with in the ATL days. It's always fun seeing them and it really does feel like I never left with that crew.
We went to the Chattahoochee River. This is a staple for any Georgia native. Andy and I wanted to shoot to embody the local nature of everything he does with his music. We went for some very fantasy driven photos as well as some journalistic portraits as well. The shoot was great fun and the water was nice. Could not have asked for a better day.
Here are a couple photos from the shoot!

Me at 23... my dad at 23 .... me frightened.

Recently my brother's mom died(half brother). We've been going through old photos for her memorial and its been amazing to see old photos of my dad in there. It's a part of his life i didn't know much about. I mean your mom and dad don't normally talk about Dad's 1st marriage and wedding. I found out tonight he was married in hawaii younger than I am now while he was on leave fighting in the war. I also found him to look freakishly like me. It's that moment when you realize you're turning into your parents for better or worse. Let's just hope I stay skinny.
My dad the "war hero" as he says:

hi.. my name is HarriPhone.... oh yeah.


So this morning my friend Matthew Jones and I went to get our iPhones. We sat around for a few hours while the sun came up. And then!!!!!! The store opened... and we stood around and waited some more. It was a long and tiring experience. However, I have an iPhone 3G and Matthew got a couple (one for his wife). We were both very excited about it. Now I'm leaving for atlanta to be with my family for the weekend. Posts are sure to come.

Allie Peden

IMG_1723
Tonight I went to The End and I saw Allie Peden. It was amazing. It was like one of those moments when you're like... so that's what it's like. It's like I've seen all the beatnik movies or indie underground club moments where people are watching something special. It felt surreal. I've seen Allie play many times. I've written with her. I recently shot her (photo above). But something hit me tonight. Maybe it was the room or maybe it's been the weird week I've had. Either way, it hit me. Like a train hitting my chest. It was like I felt a wind hit my head. I stood there shaking my head in pure amazement. I feel like all of my nights spent watching people play music. All of the mindless arm folding finally paid off. It was like the first time I heard Matthew Perryman Jones. It was a truly mind blowing experience. I finally feel legit. Like I'm really underground finding the cool music. I once heard Allie's brother, Bill, refer to her as an old soul. In a way that's funny but her voice matches that maturity. I'm rambling. She has a record coming out later this year. it is untitled at the moment. It is now my most anticipated release of 2008. Go listen. She's HH endorsed. And that means nothing.
