Stage Frightless

The following photos are part of a story I photographed recently for the Bloomington Herald-Times. The images are part of an audio slideshow that was published online with the story. The main subject is Jeff Nelsen, an Indiana University music professor who teaches a class that helps students overcome stage fright associated with auditions.

Väsen

Here’s some shots of the Swedish folk band Väsen. I photographed them during Lotus Fest a couple months back for the Arbutus (Indiana University’s yearbook).

The Swedish folk group Väsen plays during a Lotus Fest performance on Thursday, Sept. 24, 2009 at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. The group is comprised of five-string viola player Mikael Marin, left; nyckelharpa player Olov Johansson; and guitarist Roger Tallroth.
