Warming upJohn Whaley stays on target while other guests at this recording session take a load off.
"Wanna do a cover shoot?" "Sure, what are you doing right now?" And then it was perfect for what we wanted. Sometimes you just get lucky. Except for the "yellow jacket landing on the shirt" thing. That wasn't so lucky.
Wax Fingers' Tender EP Cover"How squeamish are you, Inger?" "What are you getting me into, Bosack?"
Wax Fingers: Party AnimalsWhen you have a photo shoot that involves vegetable oil AND confetti, sequencing is everything. Pro Tip: do the confetti shot last.
Nathan Trueb of Tango Alpha TangoA quiet moment during their recording session. That's his brother Aaron hanging out in the background.
Old LightLeft: Todd Roper's kick drum in action. Right: Garth Klippert plays from behind the 4th wall at this recording session.

DuoverThe stage at Secret Society was awesome for the Station To Station soundcheck. How could I NOT ask them to sit for me for just a second? You know?

Joe MengisWhen Climber came through opbmusic, it was my first chance to watch Joe Mengis play drums. My favorite part of photographing people is getting the opportunity to bear witness to them being in a perfect moment.
Little Dragon
The Dears at opbmusicMurray heard the shutter click. "Oh man," he said, "I just know everyone's going to think I was being dramatic, when I'm just STRETCHING." And he let out a big sigh and laughed.

Naomi Hooley"Oops, sorry, my foot itched." "No, that was perfect!"
Blue Skies for Black Hearts at opbmusicPat and Mike somehow always manage to make every photo look like an album cover.
Sallie Ford & The Sound OutsideSallie Ford's second visit to opbmusic. Always good.
