Ola Podrida

I had the opportunity today to photograph the band Ola Podrida, a local folk rock group, for the Statesman. The paper was looking for a few shots of the band before they embark on a U.S. tour in early July. I started with an informal portrait of the band as a group then photographed them as they rehearsed for their tour. The guys were nice enough to allow me to hang out for a couple hours during the rehearsal. I recommend checking out their music and a live show if they’re coming to your area.

The band will embark on a tour of the southern and eastern United States starting with a show at The Mohawk on July 8.

When it rains, it pours

When it rains, it pours. This is certainly the case in Texas. It doesn’t sprinkle here, it unloads gallons. At least this has been the case during my stay this summer in Texas. After my first assignment of the day, I headed back to the office, but started shooting rain features when a downpour started.
