Head For Cover had their first headlining show the other night. The up and coming Brooklyn band took over the stage at Webster Hall and gave the crowd a great show. I tried something new with the video footage above: I had other people get extra footage since at a concert I can only be in one place at a time. So thanks to my friends Teo Almonte and Leo Gonzalez for providing some extra aspects to the video. The majority of the footage used is mine, though, and I edited the whole thing too. Below are also some photos I shot during the show when video wasn't being recorded. Relax, press play, look through & enjoy!

This is a stop-motion I did as a school project for my Design Form class. We had to take our object that we had been working with all semester, which in my case was a collapsible shot glass (one from Russia, at that, which I grabbed as I was running out the door to class the first day). We then had to use stop-motion / animation techniques to make our own visual. Here's what I came up with. It's my first time ever working in this type of style, I'm pretty happy with how it came out. Press play, have a laugh, and enjoy.

Here's part two of my conversation with photographer Brook Bobbins. 
In this part we discuss his favorite things to shoot, the future, 
what he looks for when he presses the shutter button down, and more.

If there's any photographer you've seen at concerts in NYC over the past few years (primarily hip hop), it's most likely been Brook Bobbins building up his portfolio and shooting for friends and famous artists alike. The Bronx bred photographer has a knack for connecting with artists and capturing special moments. Although he's most known for the moments he captures on stage, his special relationship with many musicians allows him to freeze moments in time off the stage as well and share it with excited fans online. His website, who-shot-ya, has a plethora of photo galleries from 2010 until now. It might only be a few years, but the amount of shows and amazing shots he's got is more than many others get in their lifetime.

A few months ago I linked up with Brook in back of the store Community 54 in L.E.S. to discuss everything from his start, the musicians and events he's liked shooting the most, and more regarding his story. Press play above to watch and stay tuned for part two. Enjoy!

This is the ninth episode of a series entitled 'Flipping The Lens.' The idea behind the series is to take the folks who are usually behind the camera and turn the lens around on them to see what they're like.
