Check my photoblog @ http://www.jammcat.com
There you will find many reworked images that I have previously posted in my journal, on
my galleries, et cetera.
---------------------------------------
I'm a photo-grabber-grapher. I've done a lot of rave + event photography, and 90% of it is
up on PR.
If you see that I've been to an event that you were at recently,
and are looking for pictures, I likely have a whole bunch.
I also do other photography, though, so if you need some photos taken (dinners, headshots,
portraits, whatever!) I can likely accommodate you. I'm very reasonable, and I take my
time with my subjects.
If you would like to see larger versions of any of the photos that I have up, do not
hesitate to message me with a request.
I almost always have SOME sort
of camera on me.

A Link to the Rave was amazing beyond words, and I was very very glad to be a part of it. I didn’t mind exploring a sketchy place, clearing out loads of garbage and moving heavy furniture, because the payoff was absolutely brilliant. Everything with this party just worked, and despite some ridiculous setbacks, the party went on swimmingly. We truly did rave until dawn, in the most unexpected of places.
Lets not get too cocky now, but for all of us who were involved in planning and set-up, lets give ourselves a pat on the back.

Raccoons (New Life) (43, 43 new ) Seamus called me outside because he thought that we had bats in our garage... but something was destroying the inside of the garage and making a lot of noise. I heard the distinct chirping of racoons and went to check. The mother raccoon, who had been destroying our garage, was present and looking very angry. I chased her out promptly by growling at her. Then I had to cut some drywall from the already broken ceiling, and peer up. This was frightening because I could have technically gotten my face gnawed off if there was another raccoon present. I pushed away some insulation and found myself a nest of 6 raccoon kits, chirping/crying/squeaking. I carried them down gently (with gloves) and put them in an old mini-cooler. I took them inside and heated up a sock full of uncooked white rice and put it in with them (it feels like a raccoon and it’ll keep them warm). Now I have to insure that they stay warm and will bring them into animal services tommorow. In the meantime, enjoy the adorable pics.

Five Hearts. The Ascension (74, 74 new ) @ The Kathedral The Closet (31, 31 new ) Closets are meant for keeping things neat, tidy, hidden, and out of sight.
They keep clutter from being visible, though they often contain clutter themselves. The closet can also refer to a state of mind, more specifically, one of repression. Often this state of being is necessary for us to function as members of society, but at what cost to our sense of self, our health, and our sanity? All behavior is valid human behavior and should not be closeted. If we shut ourselves out from the world we will never get the help that we may desperately require.
If one is mentally living their life within a closet already, they may as well physically do so as well.
The aim of this photoshoot was to end up with a "map" of a specific territory, and I chose to explore the physical as well as metaphorical elements of a closet. Themes covered are your standard habits, drugs, cutting, sexuality, isolation, self-loathing, and overall, the alleged societal taboo.
This photoshoot took me a considerable amount of time to set up, as it involved removing everything from the closet underneath the stairs, cleaning, sweeping, dusting and mopping. Then measuring and cutting carpeting and taping it down, and finding furnishings to make a little home out of the closet.
the entire set was shot in a closet, save the establishing shots.
The entire photoshoot was taken inside a closet using 1 emergency light, my camera, and a sigma 17-70 f.28-f4.5 macro mounted on a condensed tripod or held really still depending on the shots.
My friend Stephanie Levine was kind enough to lend me her modeling, and was payed well with Red Rave energy drink.

Many people actually JUST WENT to see him spin.
He was fabulous; he went crazy during his set and he completed rocked and moved and shook violently to every beat that he dropped.
I was so into showing that I biked all of the way to the VIDA lounge.
There weren’t too many people at first, but it really didn’t matter. It was a sick jam, and by the time Panacea stepped up, the crowd grew!
