OKP published my Fishbone story, have a look

I'll be back to post some details from the God Forbid, Hatebreed show...

Yo yo yo,

Just picked up Living Colour's first live dvd. The performance was captured in 1080i high definition and is presented in 16:9 widescreen format. Basically, it looks and sounds killer...bonus features include an interview with Vernon and still photographs of the bands performance, the pics are average nothing spectacular...they should have asked me to cover the show...

I'm shooting God Forbid and Hatebreed later this evening...it's been ages since I've shot either band...All of Hatebreed's albums sound the same, they've essentially regurgated "Satisfaction is the Death of Desire" for the past 10 years *yawn*

On the 29th I'm shooting AHC...

I may fly to Vegas on the 27th to shoot Fishbone?

Muhfuckas!!!

I've added new Fishbone photos to my Music I portfolio

peace

The Fishbone show in Boston got cancelled (not sure what happened there) Jeremy the bands tour manager didn't feel like talking about it...It was great to see Angelo and Wood, it's been ages since I've seen them play, they looked and sounded great...

Still waiting to get my shots back from the lab, I pick them up today...I took some cool band pics, Norwood said during the shoot "We really need a new band promo photo" that's why I'm here!...I also interviewed Angelo for Okayplayer as soon the stories been published I throw a link up...I've been doing a lot interviews lately, it's odd I'm usually there just to shoot, I kinda dig doing the interviews...I'd dig it more if I was making money at it...

The new BRMC is out, personally I think it's there best...

New Fishbone album "Still Stuck in Your Throat" is out...if you like what you hear go BUY it!

They also have a new video out "Let Dem Ho's Fight"

Hey,

Here's a recent Machine Head interview with exclusive photos done by yours truly...

It's been ages since I checked in...I've been super busy shooting bands and other projects...I'm flying to Florida tomorrow with the Family...I'm pumped to take my daughter to Disney, she's four that ideal age for Mickey Mouse and Sea World, it's going to be a blast!

May 4th I'm shooting Talib Kweli...

May 5th I'm flying into Boston to shoot Fishbone on a boat...This should be a lot of fun...cruising around Boston harbor while consuming large quantities of beverage, with Fishbone as the house band = good times

May 6th I'll fly back into NY and drive to Buffalo to shoot the band again...I haven't shot the Bone since 2002, I'm really looking forward to seeing them play live again...there one of the best live bands on the planet

Hey,

I published a few Machine Head photos in portfolio I

Also put up a Vincent Black Shadow photo in portfolio III...I'll try and add a few more VBS photos to that port (they came out killer)

On deck, I'll be shooting...

Modest Mouse
Talib Kweli
Fishbone

I'm shooting Lamb of God and Machine Head on Sunday...later in the week I'll be shooting The Vincent Black Shadow...I'm stoked for that, Cassandra is smoking hot...

Alt Pick rules!

Just stumbled across this quote from Tony Blair, he's speaking on the Global Warming issue. Please do what you can to help stop global warming...

"What is now plain is that the emission of greenhouse gases . . . is causing global warming at a rate that began as significant, has become alarming and is simply unsustainable in the long-term. And by long-term I do not mean centuries ahead. I mean within the lifetime of my children certainly; and possibly within my own. And by unsustainable, I do not mean a phenomenon causing problems of adjustment. I mean a challenge so far-reaching in its impact and irreversible in its destructive power, that it alters radically human existence."

Hey,

A few of my images are being published in the coming months, I'll give you a heads up on that in my next blog...I'm also getting some of my jazz photos together for an exhibit in NYC, I'm shooting there next month...pumped for that! I haven't been to NYC in ages, and I'll be doing some work with a few of my favorite musicians

I'll try and add new photos to the site this week, I just dug up some old Fear Factory & Living Colour photos...I've also got a few new Russell Malone shots I want to add...

The new Sevendust album got released yesterday...It's f**king awesome!

peace

Congrats to Davis Guggenheim and Al Gore on winning an Oscar!

It's about time Scorsese got a freeging Oscar...took the academy long enough...

I published a few Head Automatica & k-os photos...have a look

Okayplayer used a few of my k-os shots on there news page today...

I'm listening to Saigon Kick's - Water album on my iPod at an ear bleeding decibel...My lord, I haven't listened to this disc in years...It's f**king brilliant! I forgot how great these songs are...dare I say classic, sounds just as cool now as it did back in the early 90's...here's my little tip for you not in the know, go cop this album on Amazon (you can get one used for 52 cents, you can't get a pack of gum for that much) - What the hell is Jason doing?!? You should be making music brother! Bring Saigon Kick back!

Have you watched this movie yet? Well ya need to...so get to it

Al Gore, ya know the guy who was president for a blink until the chimp stole the election from him...man what a farce that election was...What in gods name is this fool thinking?!? C'mon now, lets not kid ourselves there is no denying Bush is thee absolute worst president ever and for so many reasons, um yea lets see what can I do to serve my country while in office...hey I know, lets tell a myriad of lies and go start a war with this country for no reason whatsoever...we'll say we're fighting terror...our soldiers and Iraq citizens are dying for oil...

Mr. Gore aka the guy who should be president did a stellar job presenting the facts, his presentation is informative, compelling and frankly scary as hell, if we don't do something about the very real Global Warming issue that we are causing there are going to be some heavy ramifications.

I had a chance to shoot Head Automatica the other night. It was great to see Daryl again, I haven't seen him in ages, not since the Snocore tour a number of years ago when he played with his other band Glassjaw. I swear that dudes got a photographic memory, he knew exactly who I was...The shots came out great...The guitar player in the band, I forget his name, asked me if I was using a digital camera. I said "What's that? bro I'm old school, strictly film for me"...Ok, I do some high end digtial work but essentially use my 20D for a light meter (how lame is that, 1200 bucks for a f**king light meter!?!)...the band looked and sounded great, I like this project Daryl's doing, it allows him to stretch out and do some song writing that wouldn't fit with the Glassjaw aesthetic...

Shot k-os last night in a college dining room, it had a very Breakfast Club vibe to it (you remember that flick right?) a lot of TRL girls in the front row with there Gym Class Hero t-shirts on...k-os played only a half hour set, wish it was more...he opened the gig, which I thought was odd...his band was excellent. I had a chance to chit chat with him after the show, he's a very articulate cat...my homie did an interview with him for a nationally published zine...I did the photo thing...no candids just live pics, I was going to ask to snap a few shots after the interview but the vibe didn't feel right and the tour manager Andrew Brereton made it clear that Kevin usually isn't in the mood to take photos after his set. Oh really? This piece is for a nationally published magazine and he's not in the mood?!? GTFOOHWTBS! He played 30 freeging minutes, I don't think he even broke a sweat, c'mon now...the bullshit I have to deal with...

I changed the 2nd shot of Thursday and put a new one in it's place (Music II port)

I have a ton of photos to put up from Russell Malone, Head Automatica and k-os...I was also debating on putting up a few pics from my lowrider shoot, we'll see...actually I might just send a few shots to Ross, he digs asian chicks...

peace

I've had a few folks ask about the limited edition prints...the store will be up soon, in the meantime if there's an artist or photo on the site you dig and want to cop don't be shy, holla at me via phone or e-mail and we'll work it out...

p.s I've got a huge catalogue of stock images...

This movie is an absolute must see...

What Up Muhfuckas!!

Shot Lupe Fiasco last night, the show was a'ight, he's a young cat and puts on an ok live show...he'll get better as he gets older...Opener Rahzel should NOT of had a full set, he went on waaaay to long...

Had my shoot for *can't tell you the magazine yet, until the images are published* basically it went down like this...Lowrider (bike), Cutie (Nikkie "You're sooo f**k'n funny!!" -- "It's really f**king cold in here!!" Mangus, you are a total sweetheart, thank you for being so hella cool, I had a blast!)

Big ups also to Danny and Scott @ Skyehigh for the use of your store and lowrider, you cats are the shit!

I'm shooting Russell Malone this Friday and Saturday (stoked for that!)

Getting ready to bounce out for dinner and a flick...be safe

peace & blessings
Scott

I got to the Thursday gig late last night, still ended up having an hour of downtime before the shoot, so I got my drink on...ran into a few of my buds I have'nt seen in ages, we chatted about music and chicks...boring

The band is super laid back...really nice guys...I had two minutes *literally* to shoot them before they went on stage...

I didn't have a chance to catch up with Murder By Death, may re-schedule and shoot the band in a month or two when they open up for the Reverend Horton Heat...

Shooting Lupe Fiasco and Rahzel tomorrow night...

Had a killer weekend, went and shot an indie band in Canada on Saturday (had a blast!) - I'll put a link up to the photos when I get them back from the lab.

Pushed my Model, Lowrider shoot off until this coming Saturday.

I'll be shooting Thursday and Murder By Death on Wed and Lupe Fiasco on Friday of this week.

Also adding a sales page to the site for limited edition prints, should have that up in a few days.

I got a nice e-mail from the Guitar player with Flogging Molly - Dennis Casey

I must say he has excellent taste...


Hi Scott,

I wanted to take a second and tell you how great of a photographer I think you are. I got a copy of the photo you took of me and it had your web site on the bottom, so I checked it out. Great stuff.

Do you work out of Rochester?

Well I just wanted to drop you an email and let you know I really like your work.

Maybe we can work together again.

Dennis Casey

I've got a shoot Saturday with a model, and a lowrider...should be a blast....I'll publish some of the prints when I get them back from the lab...

I'm debating on shooting the legendary punk band the Dwarves on Sunday...*shrugs* might go down to the club have a few Guinness and blast off a few rolls of film, we'll see...

Here's a link to Fishbone playing in France last month...they look and sound amazing!

peace
Scotty
