back to where i've been

i've been trying to clear away all the photos from last year, put them in their little digital folders for safe keeping and forgetting, and make room for new images and new places and all the new that a new year brings. i realized, though, that many of them never made it on here. so before i shut them away for good, i'm going to a do a few posts dedicated to these digital remnants.

believe me when i say it's real

my last trip to los angeles happened to fall on the same weekend the basement babies were playing back up for james ferraro at the echoplex. (they were all opening for real estate, a band that'll probably make a showing in my soon-to-be-annual listing of the best songs of the year.)

anyhow, i got snuck back stage as the babies' 'manager' and spent most of the night clicking away. here are some of my favorite shots. i'll get a few more up tomorrow, along with the music video casey and i shot for the babes' song 'ooze.'
