Concert: Wallpaper/Limousines at Slim's

This post is for my Daily Cal buddies from the Wallpaper/Limousines concert at Slim's weeks and weeks ago. They complained about never seeing more than one or two of the photos from a concert they cover. I tried to include all the awesome ones here, just like I promised I would. Sorry this post is so late in coming, boys. :/

The venue: Slim's

An opening band. Butterfly Bones.

What a ham. I saw him after the show and he said hello every single time I wandered by. It was great. And you should have seen him dancing. Also great. (:

Bah ha ha. 

Headliner number one, The Limousines.

Love love love this shot. Something about the lighting just makes me happy. (:

Headliner number two: Wallpaper. A Berkeley graduate. Go figure. He was really awesome. Kind of ridiculous and very awesome. 

It was great. He had the crowd wear 3D glasses. People couldn't stand wearing them the whole time though since it was, well, kinda trippy. Ha ha.

Running back on stage for an encore. I really like this shot. (:

This may be my favorite shot. Love the energy and eclecticism of the dancer. (:

You know it's a good concert when... :P

Leave some love in the comments so I know somebody at least looked at the photos. :P

Soooo, the most exciting of things happened yesterday. I got to shoot the Cal Men's Basketball Game!!! Yeee!

Usually this is a special assignment that only the old time photographers get to shoot, but I was in the right place at the right time and I just got super lucky. The second photographer happened to, last minute, not be able to make the game and so, just as I was leaving the office, my editor (the very talented and very awesome Miss Anne Marie Schuler) asked, "Want to shoot the game with me?" My answer?! "Yipeeeee!" Of course. :D

Anyways, the game was AH-maaazing. Let me just say.

Some of the things that happened/I learned at yesterday's game:

1.  It was an overall very exciting game. Clearly.
2. I have decided that I loooveeee basketball. I want to go to every game next season. Hopefully I'll get to shoot some of them. But that might be asking for too much. (:
3. Sitting on the court is the best way everrr to watch a basketball game. Celebrities know what's up.
4. Press passes rock. Really really really.
5. When you sit on the court next to the drums, you should wear earplugs. Or prepare to lose hearing. Also, you may get hit by flying drumsticks.
6. I could actually do this for a job. yee.
7. WE WON THE PAC-10!!! (for the first time in fifty years!!! yikes...)

I'll post my favorites from the event later, but for now, check out my photo on the Daily Cal Photo Blog! yee. :D

Inner City Services, Berkeley, California

Welcome to my very first shoot as a photographer for The Daily Californian! This is Inner City Services, a local non-profit (?) agency that helps the unemployed build skills and find a job. Such laudable work. (:

All of the people who worked there were very nice. I couldn't think of better people to work with it you are down and out. Or, honestly, even if you aren't. (:

I may love this photo more for the little kid's face than nothing else. The irony is that it says, "NO CHILDREN ALLOWED." Go figure.

The awesome reporter, hard at work. Go Katie! (:

They collect gently used suits and other work clothes and pass them along, for keeps, to those they help out. Awesome!

 

This is my favorite photo. Not really appropriate for the newspaper, but I like how it feels. (: 

The classroom:

The photo from the paper: 

This is the anti-smoking wall. The director has literally covered it with dozens of posters detailing all of the harmful effects of smoking. It's his personal project. (:

This one is my personal favorite. I hope I can use that line one day. (:

Some nice portraits. (:

An awesome looking building just down the street. Not related in any way whatsoever to Inner City Services. Clearly. I even should have probably put them in separate posts. But I didn't, so please enjoy these mindfully. 

Here's an image of the web version of the article. I'd like to say, we were featured on the front page of the print edition of the paper. Score! What a success. Welcome to the world of photojournalism! :D
