Heathen Apostles | The Echo

Heathen Apostles | The Echo

Heathen Apostles
Mather Louth
Chopper Franklin
Thomas Lorioux
Stevyn Grey
Luis Mascaro

Lee first introduced me to Heathen Apostles at the Cafe Nela show on February 13. He knew I would love them and he is friends with Mather. Well, he was right. I love them! And it turns out we license their music through Rescue Records. Heathen Apostles played an amazing set at Cafe Nela, absolutely amazing. But I was without camera and so I wanted to go see them again at The Echo. It was a shorter set this time but here are the photos! More to come because I have 12 undeveloped frames that I shot on my Rollei. I also had my CD autographed by the band! Yay! Thank you!

Getty Villa

When I moved to LA in 1999, the Getty Villa was closed for renovations.
On Thursday I was finally able to visit the Getty Villa since it’s reopening in 2006.
I decided to bring my DSLR but I had forgotten to charge the battery.
Here are a few memorable moments with my iPhone, Camera+, and Instagram.
Enjoy!
