They were fun and very interesting to talk to. Hopefully I have the pleasure of hanging out with them again soon!

CIRCA SURVIVE
 |
| Anthony Green Venue: Durty Nellie's - Palatine, IL |
Circa Survive is a Rock band signed with Atlantic Record, originally from Philadelphia, PA.
I was so excited when I found out CrescendoTV was going to be interviewing Circa Survive.
I wasn't able to interview, but I was able to meet Anthony, Brendan and Nick.
I have listened to this band since 2007, when they released the album "On Letting Go", and being able to meet and talk to these guys, was amazing! I never was able to see them perform live until the day of the interview.
DAMN!
The sound of Anthony's voice live compared to cd, is melodically overwhelming. It's the connection of emotion/passion between Anthony and the fans. The best part of the show was seeing how much fun Circa Survive (especially Anthony) was having. Being able to be a part of that experience was one thing, but being able to capture it in the moment; priceless.

Of Mice & Men is an American metalcore band originally from, Costa Mesa, CA.
They're a group of talented musicians/friends who are connected by love of music.
Austin, the lead singer, is an outgoing goofball that off the stage. But when he's on stage, you can just see his love and passion spilling out of him onto the crowd.
Nick Venzon was able to interview Austin, lead vocals, and Alan, guitar.
I think that this is the most hilarious interview CrescendoTV has to date!
Don't believe me?!
I'll prove it:

The Devil Wears Prada is a Hardcore/Christian/Metal band originally from Dayton, OH.
Seeing this band live was so fun! The lyrics are passionate and inspiring while the band itself is in your face and just living in that moment of the song.
Mike, the lead singer, was definitely my favorite to photograph because he was hard to even keep an eye on! He was never in the same place twice on stage. And I actually had to back away a couple times because he got so close.

TDWP:
CrescendoTV Catalog
So, it has been a while again since I have posted with updates on CTV.
The reason is because my finals had a hold on me again.
In Digital Pre-Press, w/ Joe Abiera (one of the most amazing instuctors ever), we were assigned to make a catalog.
It could have been on anything we wanted, we just had to sell products.
SO, I decided, Why not make a catalog for CrescendoTV?!
Where you would be able to buy our gear!
(this is the final version but the lines on the corners are for when I cut the actual catalog out, so it won't be on the actual catalog itself.)
It took me forever, but I LOVED how it turned out!
Keep in mind, this is NOT REAL, CrescendoTV DOES NOT sell these items!
We hope that in the near future, we will be able to though.
ENJOY!

Day One Hundred And Twenty-Seven
May 17, 2011
Does anyone else think that this is weird? I was at the train station with Kate Barr and these are just random pedestrians waiting for the train.
Notice that they are all looking at me? (By the way, I was just pointing my camera in random places toward them because I wanted a picture with people in it.)
And this is what I get.
AWESOME! :D
Shot with a Nikon D3 and 24-70mm wide-angle zoom lens. Settings: f/8.0, 1/200sec, and ISO100

I am doing a project for Photo Studio, and we have to do something called exhaustion. We pick a medium sized object, and basically take photos of it in different ways.
This was taken in the photo studio at my school, just to show what the object looks like.
So here ya go!

This is what I got out of those 10 minutes.

I know it's blurry and has no focus point. No, that was not my intention, a bee landed on my arm and I didn't want it to sting me, so I moved right when I took the picture.
But I feel like it adds a certain mood to this picture.
Thanks Dana for helping me on how to edit this.

Day One Hundred And Seventeen
May 7, 2011
My mother recently got a bird feeder right outside our bay window because as she says, "It's like having pet birds, but without the mess!"
She would get so excited when she would see birds eating from the feeder! She would even have to look up to see what type of birds they were.
So, for my mother, I decided to start taking pictures of the birds. This one was the best one just because I was able to capture the seed in the birds mouth.

I ended up going over to my friend, Jen Groth's, house for her birthday. (Happy Birthday Girlie!).
It was girl's night, and while we were taking a cig break in the kitchen, Kalin Garvins, was deciding to play with her smoke. Haha
Love you girls and miss you already!

BEWARE for those with sensitive stomachs!
Yes, this is a rabbit cut in half.
After the landlord cut the grass, this ALREADY DEAD rabbit, basically became decapitated.
When I first saw it, I was disgusted by it, but I found myself staring at this; not in a disgusted way but more interested.

This is more of an inside joke with where I work, The Cage. Because we work at a school, we cannot swear as much as we usually do. So, our boss, Steve, decided to make a swear jar! Kate Barr thought it would be a good idea to just use her debit card to put credit for her swears. Obviously.. does not work.

Day One Hundred and Nine
Today aI went to work at 8AM til 1PM and basically cleaned the entire Service Bureau. What's funny, is that when I went home, I cleaned my entire apartment and car.
After I was done, I decided to go outside for a cigarette (by the way, the weather outside was beautiful today!). As I looked out over my balcony towards the pond, I saw a geese couple with babies. Immediately I thought to myself, "365!"
So I went inside, got my camera and started following the little babies until they got in the water and went across to the other side. This is what I got.
AREN'T THEY ADORABLE?!

Yay! Now that I am up to date I don't have Kate Barr badgering me about saying that she wants to see what the photo of the day was.

Now this picture.. The color is a bit ridiculous, but I thought it would go with the picture itself since Zayne is wearing nerd glasses.
