Mestizo Photography

Local Portland band, Typhoon, is releasing their new album May 1st, 2010. They requested a set of photographs to include in their album. Here are the four selected photographs for their set which go in this order. First is the band's practice space with just instruments.

Second is the entire band, Alex, Casey, Dave, Devin, Eric, Grant, Jimmy, Kyle, Nora, Paige, Pieter, Toby, Tyler, Danielle, Maia and Anna.



Third is the empty roo. which was pretty easy to handle. Ha.




Fourth is the band's friends.

These are the photos from Jo's Birthday at Blitz in Portland.

We met up at this Sports bar, Blitz, which is 11th near Ladd's Addition and it is one big bar that extends for almost an entire block.





The night included lots of drinks and fat burgers all while congregating around a pool table. The whole Family was there, Kurt, Monica, and J.R. along with most of the Dot's employees.



Happy 39th Birthday, Jo! I hope you like this present of mine.

The typical crunkness that ensues after a Morning teleportation show took place at their producer Issac Brocks' House. It was also our good friend, Darrin, last day in portland as he was leaving for Brooklyn, NY.


Tres and Brooklyn kept me runnning around the house looking for the best spot to take a picture of them with this chain. eventually we found a this mirror which gave a neat effect. did i mention we were drunk?


Chuck Dong took this picture of this girl that showed up later in the night. He had this really awesome Fuji digital polaroid camera.



Another good friend of ours leaving the next morning was Chris Akery. He's Chris Lively's old high school friend who came to visit us these past three weeks. We will miss you buddy.

Here are some of the picks from the recent show at Doug Fir. The line up was Aan, Morning Teleportation, and Blue Horns. This was my third show shooting for melophobe.com. i'll update the link to the website article when it comes up, hopefully in a day or two.
