The Hip Hop Shop WMCN Radio

Colin has a radio show that is on once a week on Macalester radio .  This week he was honored to have St Paul Slim, a local hip hop artist come to the studio for an interview and live performances.  It was a super fun night and I was able to take some photos.  The studio had some really uneven lighting so it was fun to mess around with my manual mode to see what I got.

Catherine Glynn Head Shots

I had the honor of photographing my gorgeous aunt Katie who is an actress in the Chicago area.  She needed some head shots and I needed practice.  We started shooting around 3:00 so the sun was just on it's way down.  I liked the shots much better once the sun was behind the houses.  We got much more even light and I think we were able to get some pretty awesome shots.  These are a few of my favorites.

No Static

Face the Static was another show I saw this weekend.  Including musicians like Toki Wright and Mike Mictlan.  The show was a mix of music, dance, and art.  It was an event to advocate voting in the upcoming Minnesota elections.  Ken Pentel was at the event speaking on behalf of his own campaign.  He is a part of the ecology democracy party.  I talked with him for a while and he seems like a great influence Minnesota could definitely use.  As he was leaving the show I saw him with his helmet on ready to bike home.  Seems like a perfect fit.

K-os with Terra

My sister Terra and I saw K-os last night at the Turf Club in St. Paul.  The show was incredible.  I love his music.  It has a perfect mix between hip hop, rhymes, and jazz.  What Terra and I liked the most about the show was the very calm atmosphere in the club.  There was no pushing and everyone was perfectly chill.  It was just a great show and a great night.  I took some pictures right underneath the performers which was really fun.  I got a few nice shots. Enjoy!

Macro mode love

Everyone is guilty of it and I can't get enough of it. I could take pictures of flowers on macro mode all day.  Here are a few of my favorites from my large collection of flower shots :)
