Keep Flashing

Posted in Venues, Whelans, tagged , , , , on May 29, 2010 | 3 Comments »

This is the band Sleep Thieves, shot in Whelans on the 25th of March. Go to any gig in Whelans (and many other venues) these days and there will be a couple of folks with DSLRs shooting away at the front. Some of them take pictures for a few songs and then get out of [...]

This is Patrick Kelleher And His Cold Dead Hands playing in Whelans back on March 20th as part of a three-band night also featuring Sea Dog and headlined by The Jimmy Cake. I like the keyboards in this picture – I like the way the hands are just about visible on them. Keyboard players have [...]

Retribution Gospel Choir

This is Retribution Gospel Choir, shot in Whelans back on the 13th of March. It was a pretty sparsely attended gig, which surprised me, as the band are a side-project of Alan Sparhawk of Low. I only decided to go in on the day, and the extraordinarily helpful Alastair Foley of Whelans/Foggy Notions sorted out [...]

Four minutes at f32 and Bob’s your uncle …

This shot was the first successful one I took in Whelans. The first night I tried to photograph there was at a Xiu Xiu gig and I was immediately faced with the problem that I couldn’t hoist the camera up far enough to clear the balcony railing. The next time I went, I solved the [...]

I’m going to start doing something different with this blog. I started it as a way of publishing short writings on photography theory texts that I had to do as part of this course, but from now on I am going to use it as a way of documenting and developing an ongoing photography project [...]
