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.

Dave Sitek

I took this photo of Dave the other night. We were hanging out on his patio digging the foggy night and taking photos. He went in and got his flute and it was perfect.

what will happen if someone finds out

A special thanks to Sharron and Yuval of the band Pink Noise for the inspiration for a few of the posts from this past week. They were both generous in allowing me to photograph them, And Yuval also led me to the woodsy reservoir area that I have now photographed several times.

They were both recently in L.A. putting the final touches on their next album "what will happen if someone finds out" which Dave Sitek produced. You can sample two songs from the upcoming album here. If you are a fan of the current wave of new york art rockers, I think you will love this.
