as of late, i have had the opportunity to begin working with other artists and i’m finding that i quite enjoy such projects since it affords a great deal of creative freedom and invites collaboration. i love working with people who have an appreciation for art and are willing to go to great lengths to create something unique. artists are my peoples and i love them so.

my friend david is an all-around awesome guy. i’ve gotten the chance to get to know him over the past few years when his family visits my hometown for christmas. in between games of catan and mafia, i remember hearing whispers about his newly formed band. i secretly hoped i would get to photograph it someday. and sure enough a few months later, david asked me if i would photograph his band in preparation for launch of their new website. yaya. and of course, i gleefully obliged. and get this: he gave me full creative control. oh boy, oh boy.

so after listening to a few of their songs and hearing more about who they were as a band, i schemed a photo shoot in downtown los angeles. we started off a the disney concert hall and made our way along the streets surrounding. my buddy matt roberts helped me out for the afternoon and well, we had ourselves a hoot of a time. they are such a fun group of people and amazing talented musicians to boot. be sure to check out their myspace page: here. and find them on facebook: here. there is sure to be much more awesome tunes and shows by this crew, so stay connected. i for one can’t wait.

and with out further ado, meet THE REVELRY…

we laughed a lot. seriously, y’all have to meet them. so fun.

my fav group shot. crisp. modern. and just plain cool.

madison must have to put up with so much from all these boys, but she holds her one for sure. she’s the violinist. and well that makes her bad-ass.
