Spring Roll

Spring 13 – This Spring was quite a doozy. I booked a one way flight to Paris with a flat reserved for the season. Part of the time was spent on the road visiting friends in Europe and North Africa. The rest of the time was spent wandering around the city, studying French, and catching up with Parisian friends. In between all the cultural exchanges and wandering I managed to balance some freelance work along with an occasional sneaky peaky video voyeur action. Here’s a recap.

Cannes Teaser

A Red Season Shade – Cannes, FR – A Red Season Shade’s last performance as a band in an old Cathedral. The acoustics and candlelight aesthetic sealed the deal. Here’s a little teaser of the night.

Taksim Square :: ISTANBUL

Taksim Square – I’m not always the best at planning things out. A few weeks back I was informed that an old friend would be touching down in Turkey for a few days. Emails were exchanged, dates were solidified, and tickets were purchased. We ended up arriving in the middle of an interesting time in Turkey. Turkish friends in Paris had cautioned me not to go, but I did anyways, and I got to experience a revolution take place. Here’s what my camera caught one night on a walkabout through Taksim Square, Istanbul.

The Noble One

LBBrice Lenoble getting down on the keys. First met this dude a few years back on the streets after a late night stroll with a few friends. Really dig the sound his band puts out – Its kinda Indie Electro Rock with a good post-folk groove. Creative and well balanced with half the band weighing in on sound engineering, mixing, and production. Looking like they got a bright future ahead. A Rainmaker – Paris.

Beyond the Depths

Freddy K – He’s crazy. But a good friend, writer, director, photographer, etc… Here he is outside on the terrace in between brainstorming. Paris.

This is Tony. His little group just signed to Sony, France. Cool dude. They’re recording a new album this summer in Paris. Pumped to be around to catch all the action. Rainy day shot of the young lad. Le Carrousel Gardens – Bordeaux

LA FIN – LE TRAILER

La Fin – Le Trailer :: New Project . Paris – Not much of a “trailer” but perhaps a preface or even “Parte 0” // More to come.

The Tulips

TJD&J – B&W

The Tulips

JADDana & Jared – “The Tulips” in their LA loft studio. These guys are great. Excited to hear their new album which was recorded in a cave. Video teaser to come in the next few weeks.

Break Time

LLToday marks the day. Making a few changes round this here place. Hoping to post less frequently (than everyday) with more meaningful jargon than just images. California bound in a few days, then onto to New York for a few more, and then onward to Europe for the rest of Spring and parts of Summer. So yeah, there ya go. Leaving you with this – a shot from Paris this last winter. Be well and stay warm out there in the interwebs. Until next post…! – JP
