sarA lov's new video

You may remember Sara from some previous blog posts. I had the good fortune to photograph her a couple of months back at her house in L.A.

Well Sara just put out a new video for the song "A Thousand Bee's" from her latest release "Seasoned Eyes Were Beaming" that I think is pretty special and wanted to pass along. The video is made up of 4000 still photos pieced together. I love the sparseness, look and concept of this video. And of course, the song.

You can watch the video here. And you can find more information about Sara and her new cd on her website here.

Katrina Ford of Celebration

Katrina was in Los Angeles to sing with TV on the Radio for a few shows. I took her portrait in Franklin Reservoir, a beautifully wooded lake, not far from where we were all staying. I just love how sublime it is there and Katrina was the perfect subject for this location. Spiritually and photographically it worked for her. I just love this photo. For me, it exudes such strength and attitude.

If you are not familiar with the band Celebration who Katrina sings for, you should check them out on myspace here and their band website here. They are a unique talent hailing from Baltimore. If you were at SXSW this year, you might have caught one of several shows they played while in Austin.

Coco Rosie

Sierra and Bianca of Coco Rosie were in town for a few days. They were working at stustustudio on a track from their upcoming new release. The song sounds wonderful and the sisters were very cool to hang out with. I shot this portrait of them on their last day here. If you are not familiar with Coco Rosie, you can hear their oddly beautiful music here.
