Put It Directly Into My Veins – 8

Rust. as in, an intense grit that shaves off any patina and takes hold of one’s senses. not “tin roof! rusted”, perhaps more along the lines of “rust never sleeps”… for these songs do precisely that, often in conjunction with the album, and other same-era releases from the artists. “You’re Gonna Miss Me” : one…

IBTABA Nº 37 — winfred E. eye

not only were these series of concerts great, but it was very formative— as I can see from the photos taken. more importantly, was using Aaron as a portrait subject… and then the ability to be close enough to see how the “but the microphone is in focus” [ link ] approach. it would be…

IBTABA Nº 35 — winfred E. eye ( Aaron Calvert )

IBTABA — the series (info)

the blog, with its concept of one photo and one paragraph, is now focused on the selection of one photo per gig, and one per camera used, that was photographed: from the very first one in 2005, through 2019. in addition to the photographs, and as part of the personal reasons to pursue such a…
