"I’m currently photoshopping a tiger into a super tiger, putting Crosby hunter saddles on it, and photoshopping the band onto it.
THIS is why I went to college! I wish more bands would pay me to have this much fun with my degree!"
Young the Giant- Cough Syrup
Or as I like to call it, four minutes and ten seconds of, “DAMMIT I WISH I HAD THOUGHT OF THAT!!!”

Fun morning shoot with my friends in Little Giants. I love getting to go home and shoot new bands from Montana. Check them out if you haven’t! They have their EP for download for free-99! Click the picture to go to their site.

Check out this awesome wallet Josh gave me!! So freaking cool, it’s made out of the film from an old movie from the 80’s.
Song of the Day: Kevin Devine- Between the Concrete & Clouds
You can download this track for free HERE!
This was one of my favorite songs during Kevin’s residency in LA. I’m so happy he released it!
Off to Jimmy Kimmel to shoot the boys! So proud of Breathe Carolina! Make sure to catch their performance tonight!
What I’m listening to on repeat…
I bought the three new songs The Cinema put up on iTunes, and gahddamn! Leighton does no wrong in my book. I can’t wait for the full album, and Lydia’s new LP.
Buy em here!

These guys are in the top five for nicest bands I’ve ever met! I didn’t stop laughing the entire shoot. We even got to pile everyone into the ferris wheel! The owners were filming us shooting, and then got all excited that their ferris wheel was going to be in the photos, and let us climb all over the ride before doors opened.
Holy shit. Watch this. Your life will be better.
I couldn’t even keep track of how many people are in this! Fucking brilliant!
Montana’s Governor is cooler than yours…
I’m fist pumping at my desk for Schweitzer right now!
Ready for judgement day? Saint Motel is. I’ll see you there.

Ok! This is supposed to be a blog about photography and cute animals! Enough of me raging at our government (why are there no new protest singers?). So here’s Andy, he’s playing tomorrow at The Echoplex and you should ALL go! It’s going to be awesome. Super pumped for some awesome projects we’re working on while he’s here. PARTY!
P.S. This is my 5,000th post! Rock and Roll!
Zombie Prom photos are up on Saint Motel’s Facebook. So if you’ve been wondering what the hell Z Prom was these photos should either clear it up, or confuse you completely.
Evening…
Spending the evening editing some portraits of Attack Attack and eating a goat cheese pizza from Trader Joe’s and having a Winterfest beer. I’m so dang content right now. What a good couple of days this has been. Thank you everyone for all the support and amazing feedback on our video. I can’t believe how positive it’s been. Hopefully this is the start in a new chapter in my career. I had so much fun with that video, I’d love to do it again and again. In February we’ll be starting our second video with Andy (Astronautalis), and I can’t wait to hear the new song! I’m guessing 2011 is going to be a pretty amazing year. It’s going to be hard to beat 2010, but I have faith that 2011 can beat it in a bare knuckle boxing match.
