Zed Never | Photo Gallery

For my second week in a row, I was checking out another Trenton-area club... this time, the All Call Inn. It's a cool little venue set in a residential area in Ewing/Trenton... by the looks of it, it must have at one point (if not still presently) served as a hang out for EMTs and paramedics. They have a decent (and reasonably priced) beer selection and a surprisingly awesome stage/performance area set away from the bar... the men's restroom, on the other hand, was not so great. Maybe it's just me, but I'd really much rather prefer not to pee in a trough. By the time I arrived, Zed Never were already more than half way through their set. Any band that has songs with titles like Pork Rinds and Amazing Fake-out at the Hoagie Take-out has gotta be pretty awesome, in my book. Their sound has been pegged as "The Velvet Underground meets Black Sabbath". It's not the usual thing I would listen to, but they were great performers. It's unfortunate that the crowd was so sparse.

Ten or so exposures in, I realized that I'd been shooting with my lens cap still on... one of the downsides of rangefinders is that you have to remember to remove the lens cap (something you don't have to worry about with a SLR). After rewinding and re-loading that roll, I only had the chance to shoot 1 song. Fortunately, the lighting at the All Call Inn is pretty decent. I shot with my 35mm lens wide open (f/1.4) and at mostly 1/125. As usual, film is TRI-X 400 pushed 1 stop.
