Midlake in Rolling Stone

Denton band Midlake may be featured in the current issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, but we had them in Quick first! Here are a couple pics I took for the feature cover story in Quick:

I shot Frank...

Frank Campagna is a Deep Ellum fixture. If you think of the term "American as apple pie", you would probably also want to start using the term "as Deep Ellum as Frank." He's the artist that does many of the huge murals in Dallas, and he also runs Kettle Art Gallery. Anyway, here is one of my favorite images from the shoot.

An interesting conference...

It basically shows and describes many of the options you can add to your SLR camera to make it shoot better video and audio.

A taste of NBA All-Star action...

I got a lot of great images at the NBA All-Star weekend events, but I can't share them all right now. However, I can give you a taste of the action, with this photo from the NBA slam dunk competition held at American Airlines Center on Saturday...

I'll post some more stuff from the weekend full of sports and celebrities after I figure out what my clients need, and where/when they post or print them.
