In Texas for a few days and had a chance to sneak over to see one of my favorite bands play a set at Fair Park in Dallas... True to form, they were amazing.


Also had a chance to meet up with a dear friend and fellow photographer... Mr. Justin Terveen [www.theurbanfabric.com]

Tuesday was officially the hottest NYC day in 10 years.

What better way to spend the day than in a giant, un-air-conditioned printing press in Queens?!

More details on the process behind this thing, but I'm super thrilled to have a final product in hand.

This is a 28-page, tabloid sized newsprint piece I've been working on the past few weeks.

It's a combination of imagery and design centered around music, sports and friends.

It's the second Zine put out under the "I've Got Friends" moniker, and I can't wait to get one in your hands.

Unfortunately I'm off for a couple weeks of traveling & shooting, so these won't be hitting the mail for a bit.

Loved the progression of these "throw-aways" though, and wanted to share before the next journey begins.

]]>Hustle Hustlehttp://www.ivegotfriends.com/ive-got-friends/2010/6/21/hustle-hustle.htmlEric2010-06-21T14:25:46ZSeveral times this week, I've been reprimanded for my lack of recent blog updates... oops. 

What appeared to be a very slow start to the summer has turned into a very busy month, which is a great problem to have.  I've been shooting quite a bit lately... some editorial for a local paper, some polaroids for Corbis, some non-profit openings & a few fun music shoots.  

Hustle Hustle Hustle... seems to be the name of the game in this business, especially this day in age.  Still learning to balance the high of a good shoot with the inevitable "on to the next one" mentality that follows. Constant scheming, constant learning, constant pushing, constant hustling.

I have a couple images in a gallery show in Williamsburg Thursday night... swing by if you're in the 'hood.  Here's the facebook event page.  Also working away on a new promo zine that I'm really excited about... if all goes according to plan, I should have many to pass around.  More on that in a week or two.

The brand is Ernest Alexander... check it out at www.ernestalexander.com

We shot a few stills during our video shoot in January... and I just got around to picking up the contact sheets yesterday.  Since my wonderful HP printer/scanner is taking another day off, I just used the old fashioned camera-scanner.
