i've spent the last year-and-a-half photographing for 209 Vibe, and online and print publication that sprung from the bowels of my old paper and from the minds of a handful of younger staff. we were dedicated to covering the local art, music and entertainment scene in the valley, which provided for some late nights and a lot of screamo/hip-hop shows and bar reviews. it was definitely a great opportunity for me to stretch my photography, both in regard to lighting and in general. i mean, when you have to shoot 3 bar reviews in a week, you have to learn to show things differently, right?anyway, i was grateful for the opportunity to shoot for 209 Vibe while i was a staffer at the paper, as well as for the last 6 months as a freelancer when i was laid off. sometimes it was a challenge, but it was a challenge i wouldn't have given up. so i'm sad to say goodbye to the little publication with the staff that ran my photos huge, even if they were too "edgy" for the newspaper, who loved my story pitches and let me run with them, and who encouraged something different with every assignment. so here are probably more photos than you need to see, but some of my favorite shots and assignments from the last 18+ months.
if you're in the central valley of california, keep an eye out for our final issue in january.
