I Shot Showbread, Now Watch as Each One DIES, 5-29-08

It's been awhile since I have posted anything about my Faces of Music project. It's not because I haven't been doing anything, it's because I have been doing a lot! I have shot almost 70 people for this project already and there's just no stopping me. I am trying to edit them as quickly as possible, but it takes a little time. I am overwhelmed by everyone's willingness to participate in this so far. It is kind of unreal.

Anyway, back to the story on hand. On Thursday May 29th, I headed out to the Stronghold in Chino to see my friends in Showbread. They just released a new album, so I was excited to see how the new songs sounded. These boys have always been crazy and they certainly didn't disappoint. I also got to see Josh's side project, DIES, for the first time. Going to the Stronghold is always a good time because I usually know half the people there. This night was no exception. It was a regular old party. You should have been there.

After the show, I convinced Patrick Porter, bass player of Showbread/DIES, to pose for the Faces of Music project. Thanks to him and my newly appointed Faces of Music assistant, Shaun Centers, we rounded up everyone in Showbread, Patrick's wife, 3 members of Ember Days, and the Youth Pastor at the Stronghold. I shot a total of 12 people. I would have lost it without Shaun's help keeping everything organized. It was another very late night. Shaun stayed till the end (1am or later) and he had to get up to open Starbucks at 4:15am!! I only had to be at work at 7am! Oh the things we do for the sake of art. Anyway, here are the 12 people I shot.













It was a crazy time trying to shoot these portraits with all the bands loading up and all the things they do to entertain themselves. Enjoy these videos I shot because I just had to, haha!
