The bird was a really, really loud bird at a host home we stayed at. Wonderful place otherwise, but not a great sound to wake up to!
Ocean is Theory - Day nine (cold indiana)
Ocean is Theory - Day seven
Loud bird - Day eight
Had a few days of not many things to document. We’re in Terre Haute or something right now, western Indiana. Tour is fun, been hanging out with the Nineball and Leo guys. The photo with the pac-man chip is Joe(y) of Nineball.
We stopped in at RCA Studio B in Nashville and Ocean is Theory demoed some songs. This studio was used to record artists such as Elvis and Dolly Parton back in the day.
photos after the first day of my tour w/ Ocean Is Theory at the exit/in venue in Nashville. Show was with Lovedrug, All the Day Holiday and Empires. It was a GREAT show.
I am going on tour with the wonderful fellows in Ocean Is Theory for a whole month.
Here are the dates I have so far, we will be in Nashville the 22nd of Jan as well and there should be another TN date the 21st of Feb.. Most of the dates (26-19th) are with Nineball and Leo:
(also playing nashville feb 8th and apparently feb 13th date is now Jacksonville, FL, not Panama City. Feb 18th is In South Carolina now instead as well.)

Always cool to get a featured photo on a front page of a site. They used my photo of i Rival for the main photo of the “top 20 unsigned bands” compilation promo they have on their site at the moment.
Fun shot from a recent Dead Bury Dead shoot I had the other week. Shot a short film that day as well, expect that within a month or two. Click the photo to view larger.

Your brand is important.
You can’t build it up so much that it’s only about you, some people do that and come across as full of themselves.
You must make a name of yourself and create an image that sells. Just as you might work in an industry where you create an image for other people in order to sell them, you must create one for yourself that sells you to people who want to hire you to create images for other people.
Image is important in the web 2.0 world.
Your portfolio must represent who you are as a creative. It must represent what you enjoy doing. It has to represent YOU.
YOU are your portfolio. Your PORTOFLIO is YOU. Represent it well.
