~Effigies Show in NYC~


Alright Punk rock Legends from Chicago played in Brooklyn last night. I only own one album by them; " Ink. It really got me exited and, blew my mind away so, I had to go see them. I didn't expect much from the show; today's youth barely bothers to check out real muscly talented punk bands. They just want to hear whats current and In Style yet it has no cultural value. Show was held at Southpaw Brooklyn,NY on 5th Ave in Park Slope.

I didn't expect it to be a big crowd at the show. It was mostly people in their late twenties, mid thirties and bunch of people in their forties, which I am glad to see that someone that age still goes back to their roots and listens to good music. Of course they started their set of with song called;"Below the Drop" and crowd kicked in right away it was great. They played several new songs which weren't so bad, I am about to buy their new album as soon as I get my next paycheck. Set lasted around forty five to fifty minutes, nobody I knew was there but I didn't mind. None of my friends bothered to come with me which doesn't really stop me from having a good time.

Ohhh PS:
Speaking of Lonelyness; When I first got at the venue around 9:00 pm Eastern NOBODY WAS THERE doors didnt even open up. I decided to play it Nick's style, I went to a super market and got three beers and called up my friend Jon Dahl. I figured he lived close by since neighbourhood looked familiar so it was worth a shot. He was glad to hear from me and let me drank at his place which i apricated since that saved me bunch of $$ which I saved instead of blowing fifty dollars on beer at the bar where I had noone to talk to.

Conclusion is here, Nick has seen: The Effigies, Got to hang out with his friends, and got WASTED .
HaHa the rest you know!
Have a great weekend people and Live your Life!

Photographs Because I like it

So I haven't used my camera much.
Its a poor excuses for me as an graphic designer i should use it as much as possible. I am very picky about electronics and things, yet i shouldn't be. Having great equipment does make a difference but as an amateur photographer its always good to start off from the beginners lever and work your way up. I took these just to practice my manual settings and to really see how focal points look like without using flash or any auto selections.

I took these just to practice my manual settings and to really see how focal points look like without using flash or any auto selections. This was taken from a bus, on my way to work i really like this one. JFK Blvd in north Bergen has some real interesting buildings and Mausoleums perfect for taking Griddy and Historical images.










This Photo wasn't edited I left it just as it was taken. Usually i take my images through Camera Raw and Photoshop but i think this one is just perfect. I used a tip that I heard from a photographer before; "If you spot a interesting scene, Try to look at it with one of your eyes closed and then try to mimic your sight and take a photograph simular to your own view"







And the last of my images is people .As you can see I have hard time takeing photographs of people looking at me I always feel as if they will say something if I just snape a photo of them. So I usually take pictures of people from behind of from their side when they are talking to somebody. I have my own experiences as a years of being into punk rock of people takeng photos of me rudely without asking.I dont want to be that guy that ruins someones day just because of a single photo.

So yes thats it for today kids i hope i bored ya.
