Finding out my film had been delivered yesterday gave a me jump start to start the day and man didn't I need it. Pushed some Kodak Tri-X +1 stop today to 800 and shot @soprettyband, who had promised to stay in line if people went but instead gave the stage a panic attack with their loud riffs and amazing theatrics, which is great for me as photographer. Earlier @bevrageandthedrinks open with queer punk vibes and @espejos.chi closed with their latest track Grey Zone, accompanied with new keys on the band. It was what I needed to get my mind back on track and the cold beers and warm conversation with Noodles ended the night right. Also, scored not one but TWO set lists from tonight, hand crafted documents by the musicians themselves, often overlooked but the set list is a very important element of a perfomance. It drives peoples moods thru it and allows for moments of connection with fans who know the lyrics or surprise with new songs. #sopretty #espejos #bevrageandthedrinks #analoguevignette #mixtapefotográfico #cassettetape #setlist #kodaktrix #pushedtrix #analogphotography #35mmphotography #chicago #punkrock #queerpunk #newwave #recordbreakers (at Record Breakers)

Felt like a good time to remind you of the Mixtape Fotográfico project and the local, Chicago-based bands I have either photograph or haven't had a chance to do so. Also a good opportunity to show off my small but growing cassette tape collection of such musicians, with all it's lovely, lively colours and designs, and my busted but charming Marantz cassette tape recorder. I have all these EPs and LPs on BandCamp as well, which is a great way for you friends to find, know and support these wonderful musical acts of this beautiful and vibrant city of ours. I've become a bit more stable financially so I'll be able to share results from a the first few bands. Excited and anxious to share those images with y'all. #analoguevignette #mixtapefotografico #divinoniño #alouette #espejos #meristems #terroir #cassettetape #punkrock #noiserock #poprock #artrock #chicago #chicagoband #marantz #marantztaperecorder #tapecollection (at Humboldt Park, Chicago)

Found this! It's from earlier this year, not exactly a throwback but I really dig this one. It's my little niece and my Jefa, or her grandma, whichever way you see it. A nice little moment, as we were heading downtown for my sister's civil wedding. I don't know why I just didn't post this one earlier. Silly me. #analoguevignette #familyportrait #peelapartfilm #blackandwhitephotography #pictureperfect #chemicalsandgoo #filmisnotdead #chicago #polaroid (at Chicago, Illinois)

¡Happy birthday to this old man! Here's a short clip from the summer, when my Jefe (aka my Old Man) came to visit Sis n the granddaughters and me. The picture from the video is in the gallery, a portrait a very much liked, as much as the sound of the photo peeling apart from negative. Psyched to start using the peel apart film again, the few ones I have left. Back to the point, Feliz Cumple and best of vibes to this guy on his day. 🎆🎂🎇📸✨ #analoguevignette #birthday #peelapartfilm #polaroidportraits #polaroid #filmisnotdead #chemicalsandgoo #humboltpark #chicago (at Humboldt Park, Chicago)

Curious feline photo for your Friday vibes and as a 100th post. Got those flowers today from my Lover (thnx, BB!), which is insane. Never did I thoght I would be the one getting flowers. But then again, I never thought I would be taking photos of cats and going like "Look everyone! Look at the cute cat photo I took today!" All in all, it's a little positive image which hopefully cheers you up or at the very least makes you smirk, you snobs. Gonna start using the last few packs of peel apart Fuji film. It'll be the cold winter weather vs the chemicals on the photo! And I aim for good developing results, y'all! 🐱💜🌷🌼🌬 #cutecats #instaxminiblack #instaxmini #Instantphoto #fujifilm #chemicalsandgoo #insta #Chicago #analoguevignette #flowers #roses #bouquet #cornyphotographer (at Chicago, Illinois)

I'm taking the project #MixtapeFotográfico very seriuously. Trying to be more consistent with my work and imoressions of the subjects, I'm dedicating two journals, a small one I carry with camera, where I quickly jot down the tech specs of that shoot, and one where I go into details of the bands, their music, our conversations, the place they performed. It's an excersice which I hope will both keep me focus on the objective (as you glance in an entry) and will allow me to go back and find out where I made smart calls or mistakes. It's also a way to continue to write at every opportunity I get. I still need to make notes at lenght of Friday's amazing performance of Los Black Dogs, a bittersweet moment for the band, who said onstage goodbye to a founding pillar of the band, Drummer badass Gustavo. Things like that is why I also write about their performance. #analoguevignette #35mmphotography #concertphography #photoproject #photographersjournal #fieldnotes #writer #photographer #meristems #espejos #sidehug #losblackdogs (at Chicago, Illinois)

I have shot with an black and white film ASA 3200 but not with ASA 1600 color stock. I wanna see some colores in my fotos and I hope you too. I should also mention, though I've used the peel-apart and the instax mini film, this is the first time I'm loading Fujifilm into my 35mm camera. With it, Imma captured a band recommended by a friend. It's the start of the #MixtapeFotográfico as a year-long project. 📸🌹🏵🌻🌺 #analoguevignette #fuji #fujifilm #superia1600 #asa1600 #nikonfe #analogcamera #analogphography #35mmphotography #chicago #concertphography #fotografiaanaloga #shootfilmstaybroke #filmisalive (at Humboldt Park, Chicago)
