This is my photography, primarily from various places abroad, but also from the United States. The Japan photos are from Fall 2007, August 2008, and March 2007 - August 2011. DC still feels "abroad" to me, but less and less so. 

The China photos date from Spring 2006, Winter 2007, and August 2008. I try to post about one a day, but like most weblogs Paradife Loft is in fact, updated on a significantly less frequent basis. I'm sorry.

As for me, I'm a twentysomething-year-old, who probably should have stayed in grad school for a few more years. I primarily shoot with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50, and my Sony RX 100 M3 (especially for concerts). I also have an old 35 mm Yashica T4-Super that's fun to take out from time to time.

If you want to contact me, you should probably leave a comment with your email. I'd be happy to reply. I'll probably be reading a good book, sipping a cup of coffee.

BLM protest heading from north Arlington down to Rosslyn and then DC. Glad to see Arlington PD facilitating the march and not obstructing it. #ballstonva #nova #arlington #arlingtonva

As I mentioned in an earlier post, half•alive (@halfaliveco) does more than most bands do to integrate dance into their music. It would almost be weird for there NOT to be choreography. I think the crowd at the @930club was a bit perplexed, but

@driskillb43 and I saw half•alive (@halfaliveco) last night at @930club. I have seen very few artists combine dance, music and visuals that way. It was really cool seeing dance just as important to the performance as the music. . . . . . #laterg

Andy Murray serving with his brother Jamie at the Citi Open in Washington DC this year. So glad that I got to see them play live! Especially after all the injury setbacks, it was such a thrill to see Andy out on the court again. . . . . . #sport #spo

Mike and Nate Kinsella of @americfootball at @blackcatdc. I thinks the coolest thing about this show was how young the crowd was. I wasn’t yet in high school when they released LP1 but I bet a few kids in the audience might not have been born.

I wasn’t yet in high school when they released LP1 but I bet a few kids in the audience might not have been born. That’s a testament to the lyrics of those first couple songs. Some might call them cliche. I’d call them universal. . . . . . #livemusic #stagephotography #rocknroll #concertphoto #newmusic #livephotography #musiclife #rockphotography #concertphotography #musicphotography #musicphoto #livemusicphotography #concertjunkie #concertphotographer #washingtondc #exposeddc #igdc #mydccool #acreativedc #tbfriday #flashbackfriday #flashbackfriday #mikekinsella #fbf
