Cool Kids

I’ve been way too busy the past few weeks… Can’t complain, though.  It’s been from having too many gigs, which is not a bad thing for a photographer.  Also, my CS photo spread and write-up comes out tomorrow I think… look for it!

Yesterday I hung out with the Cool Kids for a good nine hours.  Considering I get tons of traffic to this blog from search engine results for ‘cool kids’, I figured I should follow up a bit.

Their debut EP just came out and they are getting quite a lot of attention these days.  We did some candid shots, some press shots and Chuck let me hear some of their new material, and it’s sounding really good!  Tomorrow they are playing Dillo Day at Northwestern, which I have been meaning to go to for years.

Here are a few shots (of the over 800 I took during the day).. coming to a magazine write-up near you!

Enjoy,
Clayton

8/17/07 photos of the day

So I finally got myself a nice little camera upgrade. Bought me a 5D with a 17-40mm/f4 zoom on the Calumet 6-month no payment credit plan… so now I have 6 months to make, well, a lot of money to pay it off. Here are the first few photos with my new tool!

DJ Hiroki @ Empire Liquors.

Vyle at the Cool Kids video shoot. Shot with the 15mm prime on full frame is pretty nice.
