Shabazz Palaces-Ode To Octavia Pt. 12 Short Film

Fri, 03 May 2013 15:28:00 -0400

I had the pleasure of being the Producer on a Shabazz Palaces short film we shot this past year. It was an incredible experience working with such a talented group of people to create something for a band whose music means so much to me. Originally it screened as part of the FRYE Art Museum’s Moment Magnitude show but is now online for everyone to view.

Sub Pop Records Official Press Release:

We’re pleased to share (Sparkles)…Recollections of the Wraith, a new minifilm from The Black Constellation featuring music from Shabazz Palaces. The film is part of a thirteen part adornment, performance and object based ritual that began in the fall of 2010 dedicated to transitioned science fiction writer Octavia E. Butler. The video was initially shown as a large scale projection on a continuous loop for four months as an installation during the Frye Art Museums “Moment Magnitude Art Exhibition”. The (Sparkles)…Recollections of the Wraith clip was conceived, written and directed by visual artist and TBC collaborator Maikoiyo Alley-Barnes, produced byphotographer Kyle Johnson and shot by Miles Burnett/Ben Kasulke at various locales throughout Washington State.

April Seattle MET Coverstory

Thu, 21 Mar 2013 21:37:00 -0400

My first coverstory for Seattle MET is out on stands. I had the fun assignment of running around Seattle shooting the best bar’s that feature equally as good of food as their cocktails. I did my best to restrain from trying every drink they made….I cannot say the same about not trying each plate of food. Needless to say, my photo assistants were stoked.

Kurtwood Farms (N.W Cheese Series Part 2)

Mon, 10 Dec 2012 17:47:00 -0500

Kurtwood Farm’s is part 2 in my series on Northwest Cheese Farms. I had a great morning shooting at the Vashon Island cheese farm. Kurt Timmermeister’s Dinah wheel cheese (a soft, buttery Camembert-style cheese) has been one of my favorites for the past year. It was wonderful meeting the man behind it. Kurt was such a humble and lovely human. The tucked away farm fits right in on Vashons hippy island vibe. I hope to enjoy one of his many communal dinners thrown on the property.
