Kansas City Photography – Behind The Scenes
One cannot have enough blogs these days. So to separate my personal blog with my photography I’ve created a new blog that I will attempt to give a behind-the-scenes, if you will, look at my photo shoots. I know of other photographers who have done this and I love being able to see what’s behind the curtain.
The new photography blog is located here: http://kansascityphotography.blogspot.com. Real original, right? Well I think it’s relevant to where I’m shooting at and I’m trying to make a name for myself here in Kansas City so I felt it was appropriate.
Anyhow I hope to include lighting information, location information and other interesting tid bits from the shoot. Enjoy!

The Coolness
So I’ve been reading a crap ton of blogs lately and I thought I’d share them. Usually I read/look at them just for photographic inspiration, fashion trends and other things that are cool.
- A Continuous Lean – pretty much so the staple for men’s fashion and related inspiration.
- All Plaid Out – Somewhat similar to ACL but feels a little less commercial.
- Secret Forts – Lots of stuff here to look at. I like how minimal it still feels with the amount of content.
- The Impossible Cool – Photography. Fashion.
- The Sartorialist – Pretty much so the best street wear photographer in NYC.
Enjoy. Bookmark. Read. Daily.

Kings Of Convenience – Declaration of Dependance
Speaking of Art Garfunkel visiting the Kansas City Symphony, Kings of Convenience released a new album. Perfected production of recorded acoustic and vocal Kings of Convenience release their follow up to Riot on Empty Street, which sold over 400,000 in Europe, with the beautiful and hushed Declaration of Dependance.
I don’t think I’ve heard matched harmonies like Erlend Øye and Eirik Glambek Bøe since Simon and Garfunkel. If you are unfamiliar with the Kings they are like an indie Bossa nova band. Sounds boring? No its not, its beautiful music. While Riot on Empty Street had I’d Rather Dance With You (click to watch the video, its quite comical in a Napoleon Dynamite way), a perfectly fine song for a house dance party, Declaration of Dependance loses the drums and is a bit quieter, yes it’s possible. Go out and buy the album, its the best in its genre this year.
Listen to their single Mrs. Cold…
