http://allnarfedup.com/?p=2625 I’ll be at The Knitting Factory in Hollywood tonight to:

  1. take photos for The Ready Set[1. Also, Never Shout Never and Boys Like Girls. Perhaps you’ve heard of that last one?], and
  2. hang out with Andrew Swanson (@itsswanny) at their merchandise table.

The kicker: I don’t know Andrew.

But, his dad is Jon Swanson (Levite Chronicles). We’ve been following each other on Twitter since I met Chris Marsden.

Jon told me that Andrew would be coming to my area, so I got in touch with him.

While I’m stoked to get a photo pass for the night, the main excitement is that I’m meeting Andrew through Twitter. And no, my goal isn’t to gain a million followers. Give value, or find a few nuggets of awesome and share.

I’ll do my best to write more on that (whatever that means) after the concert.

P.S. I’m 99% sure nobody reading this will coincidentally be going to the concert. But if you’re the 1%, tap me on the shoulder and say hi. :)

http://allnarfedup.com/?p=2619 In April 2008, I bought a Canon BP-511A 1390 mAh equivalent battery from SuperMart for $5.23 + $6 shipping (USD). It held a decent charge  for a year before decreasing in charge capacity, with no damage to my camera.

Now, I’m going to try buying from SterlingTek. I would’ve gotten the two-pack, but I don’t need that many batteries yet. At the moment, their Canon BP-511A e2000 mAh equivalent battery is $11.99.[1. For comparison, Canon’s BP-511A battery pack costs $49.95 at Samy’s Camera.]

The difference is that SterlingTek has a 1-year warranty, a phone number and good feedback. SuperMart has a 6-month warranty and a PriceGrabber storefront.

Side note: If you’re interested in getting the most out of your batteries, head to Battery University.

If you or your friends are musicians, spread the word that I will record one of their songs for [free]!

How good can it sound? Listen to some of our songs on Myspace.

I can’t deny that I’m into people photos, especially portraits. On Flickr alone, I have 908 and 1,571 tagged as portrait and people, respectively.

Last Monday, I was going to hang out with Silas for an impromptu photowalk. His girlfriend, Megan, came along, so I made the decision to hang out at the park.

Cute stuff, right?

http://allnarfedup.com/?p=2591 Bill Wadman (OnTakingPictures) is one of my photographer heroes. I sent him an email just to let him know that.

Bill mainly focuses on portrait photography. But, he separates himself with sick lighting, composition, and wicked post-processing.

Creative types[1. Like myself] occasionally get depressed. Small words of encouragement and support do help.

Money helps, too, but that’s a topic for another post.

Who are your favorite photographers, writers, painters, musicians? Send them an email or small note!

Do you have a blog or social network account[2. e.g. Myspace, Facebook, Twitter]? Express your appreciation for them and direct (read: link) your friends to their work.

Most importantly: Don’t expect anything in return. :)

While waiting two hours in line for The Mars Volta concert at the Ventura Theatre, I met Chaz and Danielle.

This cute couple drove from San Diego. That’s dedication!

Chaz and Danielle let me catch a few precious moments of them. Very cool.

I gave them my card in case they wanted me to send them prints.

You can see this and two more on Flickr.

http://allnarfedup.com/?p=2577 Yesterday, a handful of photographers[1. myself included] went to the Port of Los Angeles in Wilmington (Long Beach) for some night photography. Of course, knowing that it’s a high-security area, we’d get harassed. That’s why we brought video cameras to document any encounters. (My friend, David Sommars, recently got harassed by LAPD. Unfortunately, we were across the street from where he was. So, we were in Long Beach jurisdiction. Oops!)

Along with some great photos, we got confronted three times: one bad, two good.

Today, the rally continues at Pershing Square at 11:30 am.

More details about this weekend’s rally at Discarted.

Sorry for the late notice. While I posted my interest and attendence to both days, I forgot to post here. Terrible.
