News & Updates

Update 3/21/10 - Just uploaded photos from Robogirls. It was a pretty awesome party. Photos turned out alright, been awhile since I partied, so my settings were a little off. However the pictures did come out pretty amazing. Hope you all enjoy. EDIT: on a side note... apparently I accidently erased robogirls 5 in the process of uploading these photos... so if you go to the older raves and look up robogirls 5 you will notice that they look shockingly similar to these photos... now you know ^_^... I'll hopefully reupload the old photos later...

Update 2/13/10 - Love photos are now uploaded. Had a good time surprisingly. Got nice and drunkish, met a couple new people who weren't too horrible.. heh... Anyway, I'll be at Broken Hearts 2 for sure and whatever else I decide to go to I suppose. Have fun and enjoy.

Update 2/05/10 - Whiteout 7 photos from Nov last year are finally up... My laziness is subsiding a little bit I suppose. May be going to a rave sometime soon, dunno for sure... but atleast all photos are nice and caught up... Wow... I havent raved in a little bit.

Update 1/28/10 - So I've been really lazy, really unambitious, and generally noncaring recently about the rave photography and scene in general. I think I'm just outgrowing it. Also the lousy shooting conditions the two events were shot under (one with a point and shoot, the other without flash and in raw... yikes...) probably had something to do with the length of updating. Anyway, I reformatted my computer recently, and decided that I should upload these photos and stuff.. So without further ado... Escape To NeverLand Photos!!! Woohoo!! Well enjoy. Another rave will be updated tomorrow, dont remember which it was just now, but I know the photos were taken with my point and shoot lol.

Update 8/14/09 - Well, it's been awhile since I've been in the game, but it appears I'm back, and damn am I better than ever... Ok not really, but my efficiency sure is. Got home from Gotta Catch'Em All, and my photos didnt even need editing, so I must've done something right last night. I'm happy to have em up so quickly for ya. But now I need to go to bed. Yeah, I know, I just got back from a 3 month hiatus, and all I can say is a lousy "hereya go, now leave me alone"... but hey... that's how I roll... haha

Update 5/1/09 - Finally got the first day of Sakura Con pictures edited... Starting on day 2 now, if you were there, and even if you weren't you should check them out. Have a good day, I should be at 5 dollar hollar tomorrow. Love that Renton skate barn.. haha..

Update 4/29/09 - Marble 10 year pics are up... not that many sorry... I was all sulky that night =^(...

Update 4/14/09 - Well, Im sure the party was awesome, unfortunately I was only there for the first hour, got a few pictures not a whole bunch. I had to dash back to Sakuracon... I missed Darude, my life isn't complete like it should have been. Oh well, Sakuracon pictures will be up soon as well.. got 800 of them to edit... so naturally, I'm procrastinating. See you all in a couple weeks ((I wont be attending Snoochie Boochies, 1 room parties give me the heebie jeebies... haha..

Update 4/05/09 - As you can see the site is ever slightly different... Home page has a cool limit size... and the galleries are seperated by 07, 08 and 09 now... hurray.. On another note Down the Rabbit Hole 5 pictures are up. The rave was awesome.. After the rave sucked balls.. But everything worked out. And yeah I don't have much to say about that... Pics turned out pretty bomb though, and unity shall be my next rave. That'll be fun with Sakura Con and all that weekend as well... Lots of photos next weekend for me.

Update 3/13/09 - Getting Lucky 3 pictures are up now. See everyone at Down the Rabbit Hole 5.

Update 2/24/09 - Bounce was an amazing party. Sorry on the lag on the photos as well, I find myself not trying as hard as I used too =^ (... But the party, man was it good. First party I stayed from start to finish for since Enchanted Eve 07! The last time Super K was here I think. Haha. Something about K at a party keeps me going all night... ^_^ ... I kid of course. Unfortunately, because the party was so awesome, I refused to take photos the second half and just danced danced danced. Forgive me. See you all at either Kandiland or Pirates, dunno which will be my next.

Update 2/10/09 - Pics are finally up from Broken Hearts... Had a fucking blast at the party, but only took 140ish photos... 89 keepers... Sorry guys, just not feeling the photography, but the party was amazing none the less.. I stayed for longer than an hour and a half, haha.. Until next party have fun, peace, and now I sleep.

Update 1/16/09 - Sorry that it took so long on HSTW, so I made up on this party ^_^. ATTY: Redux pics are up and all that and the party hasn't even technically ended yet. Enjoy.

Update 1/11/09 - Wow it's been a while huh? Month without raving for me = painful. Unfortunately I wasn't feeling HSTW too much. The music was bomb, and I liked the smaller crowd, but like photographically my camera wasn't agreeing with me, and I was excruciatingly tired that night, but oh well. Sorry for the delay on uploading, I've been internet deprived for the past 3 days... They're up now.

Update 12/14/08 - Sorry for the delay on Jingle Bomb 7 pictures. I had them done edited really early actually, at like 6:30. Unfortunately I didn't have internet cause my mod decided our house isn't worthy of internet. Needless to say I finally walked myself through the freezing rain, ice, and snow to the library, and steal their wifi so that you lovely folkiurhotos... Enjoy. Had an amaaaaazzzinnggg time at the party, it was a freaking blast. I danced like, 4+ hours of the night, and took photos maybe 3ish >_<, my bad haha. Oh well. Still got 280 pictures for your enjoyment. So Enjoy!

Update 12/07/08 - Hometown villains was an enjoyable party. I had a good time, lots of good people, lots of good music, good times in general. Again, like Hometown Heroes, I have to say I HATE that venue for photographic means. It justs casts a nasty look on all the pictures, perhaps its the dry wall dust, or the yellow beigey walls, or small confined space with mass red light. Anyways, these pictures were better than Heroes, and I can accept not all sets can be top notch so I'm ok with it, but it still annoys me.. heh

Update 12/06/08 - C89.5 Listener Appreciation Pics are up now. Enjoy.. See you all at Hometown Villains.. The party was awesome, unfortunately, editing took forever, and now I'm to tired to write a meaningful description.

Update 12/01/08 - For those of you who haven't noticed... NGP has a new look to it, I'm trying to improve things a little bit, make the site a bit more organized and what not, so what do you think? How's the new layout? Any tips on something that you think might be a little nicer? Anyways, enjoy the site as usual.

Update 11/30/08 - NL7 Pics are done and uploading now. Back in Olympia, I'm happyish, saddish. Lots of homework to do now >_<... Enjoy the pics, they'll be up sooner next week, I was kinda fucked for both these sets, because Photoshop decided to fail on me, but it gave me a reason to DL a newer version, getting CS3, woot. Anyways, until Villains, have a good week!

Update 11/28/08 - TechnoSluts was an amazing party, the music was amazing the whole night, that venue was also pretty sweet too.. Never been there, I want to go sometime when there's no ravage, maybe parkour it up, once I get better that is >_<... Anyways my photoshop has spazzed out on me, but I figured you guys shouldn't have to wait for the photos because my computer is gay, so I'm uploading the photos now borderless, but once I get PS back on my computer I'm going to reupload the same pics, but with the border and what not.. anyways, enjoy, and see you in 3 hours at NL7.

Update 11/21/08 - First and foremost I absolutely LOVE this set. Everything just worked out amazingly, and the photos are beautiful. I did a few little camera tweaks, and things just changed epically. Those shall be my secret though, heh. Anyways, so this was my first party under the TapTap banner, and it went actually went really well. Still got my pics up lightning fast, got in for free, and had a BALL on my 3 year anniversary. Looking forward to Techno Slut, and NL7, hoping to continue producing this truly A++++ quality, now that I know my setting hehe...

Update 11/18/08 - If you go and check out the galleries you will notice there are two galleries for Wonkaland4, I was perussing good ol' TiggerLovesYou.com, and was encouraged by the deep contrast and bright colors in all the pictures represented on his website. So I went through a reedit on my photos for the last party (which besides the 16% which belong of Leah) were pretty eh at best anyways. I definately wasn't on my top game that day. So after the reedit please, please please, (as if anyone even reads this), let me know which you like more. The more realistic natural colors, or the high contrasted colorful ones. Message me on myspace or something, it'd be really appreciated...

Update 11/16/08 - So Wonkaland4 was an amazing party for my last party as a rave photographer. I was offered to be a part of TapTapProductions, though I will have to think it through very thouroughly, and such so that I can keep updating this site as quickly as possibly, so the product is to you, the raver, asap, while at the same time letting him doing whatever mods he wishes to the photos. I don't know, it's something I need to think about and word correctly to him, it's a maybe right now, for all those who care. Anyways, the things you're all here for are up, you know those pic things. I was having an amazing time, but my vibe was killed around 1:30 by a bunch of stuff, so I bounced early. Only got 212 after editing, oh well. While camera charged it gave me time to dance my happy little ass off, and I got a couple cds, so it was a good farewell.. So enjoy these last pics, that are for definite going to be on the site..

Update 10/25/08 - A Tribute To You pics are up. All 125 of them. Sucks about what happened at the party, but I guess these things just happen. Hope Ryan and Tommy can rethrow this party at a later date. Anyways, thanks again Kabayo for having me out to take photos, it was fun for the hour. Man 125 in an hour. Just think how massive of a gallery I could've had, had the party continued the whole night. Well. Until Resurrection, everyone have a save night.

Update 10/17/08 - Pics for hometown heroes are now up. It was a small venue, but it was pretty bumpin, filled to the rims with people. I wasn't digging it too much though photographically unfortunately.. I think that may have been the 1 to 10 photographer to raver ratio. None the less around 10:30 I put the camera away and just started to dance. Sorry for the lack of variety of people and what not, but I just wasn't feelin the photographing thing. Heh, but to those who did get your pics, they're up now. Best moment of the ENTIRE night, half way or so through ian k's set, the beat was building, it was building, it was building, and than it cut to "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down!!" Ian mothafuckin K rickrolled an ENTIRE rave, I was sooooooo happy, it made my night. And with that I left.

Update 10/07/08 - So I just updated some stuff, updated my main sites portfolio, the links page on this website, soon the portfolio page on this site as well, and than a whole new revamped design is to come as well. The links are all pretty with banners and what not. If you have a website you'd like representin' that I don't have up there just hit me up.Had some free time as of recently, so decided to make things a little prettier. Enjoy..

Update 10/04/08 - Don't Panic 3 was an amazing kick offer to Motor's reopening. I don't know which was more anticipated though; Don't Panic, or the reopening of Motor. Camera was kind of bugging out, so the color got off on a few pictures in the middle, but got that taken care of. Over 500 pics at the end of the party... Everyone outside around 3 knew that though, haha... I had to chop it down to just over 400 though. hope you all enjoy, and until "A Tribue to You" be safe and all that jazz...

Update 9/30/08 - So, I have finally updated the pictures from my party... Nothing to photographically amazing, I'm just putting them up here so people can obtain them pretty well. I actually only took about a fifth of them at that. Can you tell which ones I took?! heh.. Give yourself a scavenger hunt to see if you can recognize my style apart from that of two drunk friends of mine. Should be a blast. Speaking of blasts Dont Panic 3 is coming up, I'll be there, that too should be a blast. Well enjoy this mini update. Also I may be turning this website flash based, I am turning my main site flash based for sure, but I'm unsure as to if that would be wise for this website, being constantly updated and all, we will see.

Update 9/12/08 - Hakuna Matata 4 pics are up and updated now. Only got about 230ish photos this time around, I was so dead most of that party, hurray sleep deppin. Overall the night was pretty much amazing, I was definately glad I coughed up the extra 10 bucks for the vip pass, that room was definately worth it. Oh also, to those of you who asked if my myspace account was on my card, I sort of lied, it isn't. But if you go to my links page my myspace is the first one there.. Only need to add the photography one really.. Peace out.

Update 8/17/08 - Although it wasn't a rave by any means my website seems like the best place to post the pics from "Roflcopter" or better known as Tiffy's(Poprock's) 15th birthday party. It was pretty fun. I was buzzed from about pic 40-150ish, and than in the 200's my friend Rachel took over the pics; so they aren't no pulitzer prize winners, but hey, enjoy.

Update 8/10/08 - Apollo's Groove was off the hook, the music was amazing, the camp site was gorgeous, but unfortunately it was colder than Satan's soul up on that mountain, and it was a dust pit as well. Basically meaning, not a huge set, my body couldn't stand the cold, and my camera couldn't stand the dust, but just trust me when I say the party was amazing... Glad it was free though, cost me like 40 dollars in gas round trip, haha. I can't reitterate though how off the hook the music was on.

Update 8/8/08 - Best rave at a library ever. Period. Pics are up for Illiterate. Awesome night, only complaint... it was only 4 hours long >_<... Can't wait for the next one. Going to Appolo's Groove tomorrow... er.. today. Such an amazing weekend of free events, my heart skips with joy. These pics were better than the last ones in my opinion.

Update 8/3/08 - Come back rave was amazing. It wasn't a huge turnout, and I left early do to being the driver and friends having "bedtimes".... sissies. Yet I still got 400 pics, so just imagine when I stay for the whole event with lots of subject matter. Photographic bliss will be created, and all shall be happy. Anyways new gallery up.. hip hip hurray. I'm back...again... but you never know for how long, so how bout ya enjoy me a little bit this time before I leave... mmk Seattle? Haha.. enjoy the new gallery, and until Respect keep yourselves save alright?

Update 7/21/08 - So it has been a while since I've made an update. Just don't want anyone to think the website has died. Got back from Alaska, and with some of my fishing check I have made a HUGE upgrade to my system. New camera body, Canon 30D, 28-135mm IS ef lens, Canon 430ex TTL speedlight, slave flash, gels, body armor, brackets, etc etc. Point being, I might just have to bring it to a rave some time and take some pictures... if you know what I mean? So look forward to some pics in the near future. hurray Alaska. Anywhos, that's all the major news.
