Jukebox the Ghost @ Union Hall

Here are some photos from when Jukebox the Ghost played Union Hall. I’d seen these guys before, at CMJ, when I was just starting with the whole shooting shows thing. Tommy, the guitar player, told me not to worry about flash. So I haven’t been, although I still don’t like to use it. Anyway, it’s nice to see how far along I’ve come since then. If you like Ben Folds, then you’ll love these guys. Easy to listen to, kind of poppy, and pretty funny. The shows are good times, too. They just came out with a thoroughly enjoyable CD. Plus they’ve been getting plenty of WOXY play and are down at SXSW right now. These are from a show they played last month. (Theoretically, some of these will appear on their MySpace some day.)

It’s funny to show these now, because I look at them and see just how far I’ve come. I’ve learned a lot about photographing shows and dealing with light. I’ve even learned a bunch about post-production. But I still like the shots, and I’ll just have to do better the next time I see them around.
