Hanson, Ben Rector, the folks of Black Watch Studios, Have Fun Dying and more in this post. I’ve been holding onto a ton of band shoots for too long. Many of these could be posts until themselves, but I’m trying to clear the 2009 archives.

This is solo artist Ben Rector. I stopped in for the day while Ben was recording at Black Watch Studios in Norman, OK. We did a bit of shooting between takes with a trusty old Polaroid that once belonged to my Grandpa. More on the folks of Black Watch below.

Next up are new posters for HANSON. During a break in tour rehearsal, The guys came to the studio for a quick shoot. BUY a poster here.

I met up with Have Fun Dying on a warm Fall night. We had a lot of fun, well, I did.  I somehow talked them into being buried in leaves, and spray painting his bare chest (below).
