One of my first images with the new lens. I’m digging it. Model: @leela_the_bully She’s a talented model and a good girl. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuFm7DUHkvb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iti8g0l3d5f3

I finally got a fast prime lens for my Sony camera, a 50mm f/1.8. I’m so happy this came in. The second shot is the Sony 50mm next to my Canon 50mm. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuFlWtOnj85/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10om574ng5awv

Springtime in Phoenix

So, last night I finally tried steel wool photography. I’ve always liked playing with long exposure stuff. I’m definitely going to be doing a lot more of this.

Throw back to that time I was running sound from a tablet while doing double duty as the bands photographer. Always try and make yourself as valuable as possible. (And I’m still getting complimented on the mix that night 😎) #music #audio #band #audioengineer #livesound #photography #canon #behringer #bandphotography #arizona (at Marley Park)

I experimented with self portraits at the studio the other day. It took forever to get this lighting.

On Saturday I was playing and realized my fretboard has this crack and a fret became unseated (at this point I’m blaming my cats). I’m definitely going to have to get that crack fixed, and most likely a fret leveling, but I’m not sure if I should get a rubber mallet and see if I can seat that fret to make the guitar playable. Thoughts, discussion, advice, and luthier recommendations are all appreciated. #guitar #repair #fretboard

I finally pulled the trigger and got monitors for home. I saw an amazingly good deal on Craigslist that was hard to pass up. The gentleman was clearing out some clutter from his studio and also sold me this Argosy studio rack for about 1/10 of what they are new. #music #maudio #audio #recording #musicproduction #monitors #bx5 (at Surprise, Arizona)

Checking out and measuring the control cavity in my #ibanez #s5470 to see if I can fit a #fishman battery. I’ve been thinking of going to the #fluence pickups. I’ve been really curious about them since I heard about them. #guitar #music #musician #arizona #phoenix #gear (at Surprise, Arizona)
