Angela in the Dirty South

2011-07-09T00:39:00.003-04:00

Angela is one of those people that make me feel better about life just knowing she exists. It was fun from the second I picked her up from the airport until our teary goodbye 5 days later. I wish she was around here to get into trouble with more often, but at least for now we live on the opposite corners of the country. The sea will be lonely without you xo

Summertime Visits

2011-07-08T16:03:00.003-04:00

I hadn't seen this little lady since she was a baby!

Part of the perks of living in the dirty south is being closer to friends I've been missing. Lindsay and I go way back to living in the Greek Ghetto of University of Central Florida, working at shitty cafes, and mud wrestling weddings. I was pretty happy to hang with her, who is 7 months pregnant but you'd never guess it because she had more energy than me, and her amazing little lady, Avery. I'm also psyched that I'll see her in a few weeks when one of our best friends, Jessi, marries her amazing Mr. Joe! xo

What a difference a month makes.

Well, I thought I was going to finish my job at the gallery and relax in Brooklyn until my well-prepped departure to my new home in Atlanta. Little did I know I would join the One Life One Chance team and, in just over a week, hit up schools in New Jersey twice, Connecticut, Manhattan, and two schools in Oakland with some amazing hangs in San Francisco. My last-minute, sleep-deprived packing hours upon my arrival home were shadowed by the long-awaited Unbroken reunion show and more good hangs, but no more sleep. The picture above was taken in my final hours in my apartment in Brooklyn, completely exhausted but totally ready for new adventures.

I suppose this is cheating, but here are some pictures from my life in ATL so far from instagram, my new obsession (username meghanmcinnis...get at me!).

So despite my nerves, I am actually really excited that I will have a show opening one week from today! I think I have the logistics sorted out at this point...now everyone cross your fingers that it doesn't snow like crazy next week. It's been a little dream of mine to see all my friends and strangers walking through a gallery holding their little plastic cups of wine and judging my work...harshly. Come over and hang out!

I've been trying to think about how to sum up 2010 and I'm drawing a blank. It started out weird, got weird in the middle, and ended pretty weird. Good weird, bad weird, and a lot of middle-of-the-road weird. Big things are a'comin in 2011...announcements are not yet internet-ready. Stay tuned...

Dan & Lesley got married a few weeks ago in London (seen in the photo below in the pro iPhone shot by sir Jodi Cox) and set off on their honeymoon in NYC. I met up with them in DUMBO for some pictures, a wedding present from the aforementioned Jodi. Not only am I super flattered to be given as a wedding present, but Dan and Lesley are one of the loveliest couples I've ever met. It was definitely a pleasure...

Tonight I was interviewed for a segment on New York artists for part of an ongoing documentary series produced by H&M. No, I did not get any clothes. Dammit.

I wanted to make the adorable Swedish crew feel as awkward as I did for a minute...

The video should be out mid-January.

Indian Summer

2010-09-15T23:04:00.003-04:00

For the first time in many many years, I ventured out to the Warped Tour to hang out with some other people who were at least 10 years older than the average attendee.

Here's what it looked like when I was age appropriate, back in 98:

And this year, as a grandma, I was faced with this:

Riverboat Gamblers

Liz & Beau!

2010-09-13T10:07:00.003-04:00

Last month I ventured over (over? down? who knows) to Atlantic City to hang out with Liz and Beau (and gambled, lost some, won more, participated in impromptu dance parties in several casinos) for their wedding at the fancy Chelsea.

Liz is a little fireball and her and her family (and new hubby) were so lovely and fun to work with. From what I understand, they were already practically married but I wish them the best for a wonderful life together!!

Views From a Summer Vacation

2010-09-09T22:43:00.003-04:00

Since today is the first Fall-feeling day in New York, seems about time to pause and figure out how I spent my summer vacation...

The sharp drop-off in show posts is due to my new real-adult-job at Greene Naftali Gallery as their Image Archivist and Gallery Photographer
Check out the gallery here!

I did escape the city a few times for:

Chicago...

Atlanta...

and Boston...

And I turned 28, which looked a little something like this:

Fall is already looking super busy...

My Kim #1 is getting married and currently growing another beautiful baby! (she's obviously got a busier Fall to look forward to) I am a bridesmaid AND photographer. Yep. Stay tuned for how I pull that off...

My Kim #2 is getting married also. I'm also a bridesmaid for her and get to go to Florida for that one. So psyched to see her because I never ever get to except on these awesome videos she makes:

CIS 2002-2010

2010-08-10T11:37:00.003-04:00

A smart guy I know once said that bands are meant to break up, people are meant to move on. I was lucky/masochistic enough to photograph CIS for some years. Through ups and downs and vans and VFW halls, it all added up to an era that will be missed by Long Island and more. RIP CIS

Michelle & Nate get hitched!

2010-05-30T20:40:00.003-04:00

Last month me and Emily and Dana documented Michelle and Nate get married at the beautiful Woodbury Country Club in Long Island. This tiny bride threw around hot pink, glitter, and rhinestones like no bride I've seen before and it turned out beautiful. The girls and I especially enjoyed the groomsmen and a select bridesmaid for the entertainment, and everyone at the venue for being so helpful!

Small Brown Bike!

2010-05-17T23:45:00.004-04:00

For the first time since 2002, I got to see Small Brown Bike when came through NYC last weekend and played the Cake Shop with Bridge and Tunnel (local amazingness), Your Skull My Closet and Let Me Run. The show was another 1000 Knives/Brooklyn Vegan production and despite sweating more than I ever have at a show, I had an amazing time. It was nice that even after a five year break (more or less) SBB can play a few shows and have kids still as psyched to see them as the early days.

I was working the night Converge was playing NYC last week, but instead of missing out altogether my friend Patrick and I drove to Poughkeepsie to a rather awful venue and pretty unenthusiastic crowd. Besides that (and missing all the opening bands) Converge and Thursday were great. (wake up Poughkeepsie) Check out the story on Brooklyn Vegan about the Poughkeepsie show and the obviously superior show in the city.

Christian & Kim get hitched in Central Park

2010-03-30T10:46:00.002-04:00

Last week I met up with the super sweet couple Christian & Kim who came up from Atlanta for a little vacation in the big city and to tie the knot. It was by far the most intimate ceremony I've shot...it was just them, myself, and an officiant. I even got to act as their witness! We managed to dodge the rain until the last bit of the day before they jumped on a plane and headed back to the ER, where they both work saving lives. Here are some of my favorite shots from the day...

This week I got to shoot a few headshots for friends. Matt Weir, of "We're Matt Weir," and Jen Haines of North Fort Myers High School class of 1999. I've known Jen since she was Jenny and we were both running around in Jncos causing all kinds of weird trouble. Look for Jen in the backgrounds of upcoming stuff, but you're more likely to see her work on the stage and screen cause she's a rad wardrobe lady. I'll most definitely be linking everyone to Matt's upcoming work...he's about to be juggling a million awesome things! You're more than likely to bump into him performing at Magnet Theater in NYC.

Here are a few selects from the day...big thanks to Mike for assisting/escorting me to the shoot. When Mike and I were waiting for the mommy and daddy to arrive, some stranger walked into the park with a huge bouquet of pink "It's a Girl!" balloons, tied them to the fence next to us, and walked away. There was no explanation but they made cute props...

Most likely I'll be posting more as I come across them. I'm crossing my fingers a few big jobs go through and/or I'll have a new job in the next few weeks.

Zero Posting Season

2009-12-21T19:42:00.002-05:00

I've been shuffling around the tri-state area a bit, watching LOST obsessively, working out shoots (often having them canceled), and enjoying my first Christmas season in New York post-school. I'm shipping back down to the Sunshine State on Wednesday, shortly after surviving my first real New York blizzard. I am looking forward to Florida (yes, yes it's true) and proudly patting myself on the back for being such a trooper about the cold so far. I hope a week in Florida doesn't knock me back down to wimp status.

I did update Out to Sea site and wedding packages. I'm booking for early, mid, late, and post 2010. Get at me.

I'm bringing my lights and ohhhhh, about.....three cameras with me so I'll have a photo postin' New Year!

They're in there with good company, like Bayside and....well, yeah. I'm including a few outtakes from the day. I was also able to contribute part of the album art for their new stuff, coming out on Feb. 23rd on Bridge Nine Records.

So recently I put together a little makeshift photo biz and am starting to line up weddings for 2010. I used to not be so excited about shooting weddings but I think ultimately it's an amazing way to spend a day. I get to be around (almost) nothing but really happy people doing my favorite thing in the world and gettin paiiiiid on top of that. And as much as I hate to give in to it, I really like shooting weddings now. So the few people who actually read this (I heart you guys), please send my info toward your friends and fam who are engaged. I can travel anywhere around New York pretty easily and am also looking to do as many Florida weddings as possible so I can have an excuse to visit my family. Check my website for more info!!

Here are some takes from the day....

Amy & Craig

2009-09-30T18:37:00.003-04:00

I was lucky enough to be asked to attend my good bud Amy's wedding in Telluride last weekend. Amy and I have collaborated, were attached at the hip for over a month in Australia, and have endured the drama of grad school together. The wedding to her man Craig, aka Krob, was one of the more sincere and loving events I've attended....effectively making my heart super squishy all weekend. It was a small ceremony in a beautiful Colorado field with only 8 guests, a judge, and myself. I wish all weddings were this easy and fun and beautiful...
Here are some of my favorite shots...this is more pictures than I usually post at one time, but I can't help myself :)

Mike Nelson's Psychic Vacuum, the book

2009-09-23T11:50:00.005-04:00

A few years ago, Creative Time produced an installation by Mike Nelson on Delancy and Essex in the old Essex Street Market building. The installation, Psychic Vacuum, is still one of the most amazing installations I've seen. Before it was taken down, I was one of a few other photographers who attempted to document Psychic Vacuum. There were endless details and you were never sure what was already there or intentionally placed....it seemed impossible to show in images or otherwise. But Brenden Griffiths, who just left Creative Time for Yale, designed a beautiful book of cover-to-cover images from the installation and fold-out pages with sketches from the artist and essays from the curators, Nato Thompson and Peter Eleey.

Here are a few images of my pictures used in the book:

2009-09-06T11:53:00.002-04:00

So I'm back officially living in Brooklyn...back from Berlin with a brief hiatus in Long Island for three weeks. It's strange to feel unsettled for this long, but no complaints here. I am living in Greenpoint with some great kids and just rented my very first studio right down the street. It's a scary financial commitment right now since I don't have a lot of steady work lined up. BUT I'm getting set up (finally) with lights and upgraded equipment soon so I can be a real life photographer :)

I've been really excited to hear from people who have been following this blog for a bit. It's crazy to me to think that people outside my close friends even know about this...so if you do read this, I'd love to hear from you, see what you're up to and where you are in the world.

I'm about to move my computer down the street into my internet-less studio. I have things to shoot this week so somehow, someway....I'll get them on here.

Last.fm

So if I disappeared tomorrow I could easily be reassembled through my online identities. I have a website, blog, flickr account, myspace, facebook, twitter, and my latest obsession is last.fm. I don't even know why, really. I made the account years ago and my friend Shannon basically taught me how to use it yesterday. So last.fm users....let's connect. My user name is BrklynMeghan (again, made years ago). I want to lurk what you're hearing and share the embarassing things I listen to while zoning out online.

Hold Fast

2009-07-23T07:54:00.002-04:00

(an old sailor hymn)

O sailor on a treacherous sea,
Tho’ re nt thy every sail may be,
Tho’ all thy earthly hopes are past,
And thou art clinging to the mast.

Hold fast a moment more,
Behold a light upon the shore;
Tho’ scarce a beam thine eye can see,
Thy Savior comes to rescue thee.

Hold fast, be strong and banish fear,
Look up, behold the harbor near;
A cry of joy from yonder strand,
Where loved ones wait to clasp thy hand.

Tho’ surges roll, and waves run high,
The Gospel lifeboat still is nigh;
It cannot from its course be driv’n,
’Tis sure to reach the port of Heav’n.

Oh, sailor! lift again thine eyes,
Behold with joy and glad surprise
A glorious morn, that dawns for thee,
Far, far beyond a stormy sea.

Oh, land of rest from toil and care,
Who would not long to enter there,
Where every throb of pain shall cease,
And every sigh be hushed to peace!

So this is my good bud Courtney. While living with her for six months in Berlin I've watched her make countless crafty things, my fav being her wallets made entirely of duct tape. I know there are other people out there making similar things but I can assure you they aren't as cool as these.

Here are a few of my favs:

For the entire gallery of wallets and other cool stuff....check out her site here.

This was an interesting conversation with two music photographers, the ledgendary Bob Gruen and the amazing Elizabeth Weinberg, about the influence of fan photography on rock photography.

Teresa Margolles at Mexico Pavilion

2009-07-02T04:50:00.002-04:00

Teresa Margolles' (Culiacán, Mexico) installation "What Else Could We Talk About?" confronted the recent spike in violence in Mexico. In 2008, more than 5,000 people were killed due to violent clashes and executions among criminal gangs, and in operations of the security forces, which is nearly double 2007's statistics. Margolles deals a lot with human remains in her work, and is a founding member of the group Servicio Médico Forense/Forensic Medical Services.

In this installation, she hung fabric soaked in blood and dirt taken from the sites of these executions. One long stretch of hanging canvas, also soaked in blood and dirt, is sprayed with water every 5 seconds (or that's what the people working there told me) which makes the matter slowly drip down into the metal trough below.

For me, the most powerful part of the pavilion was the performance that happened everyday at 4:00. A bucket and mop was in 3 adjoining rooms full of water, dirt, and blood. A man (who looked like he could be from Culiacán) mopped each of the rooms, layering the marble floors with the material traces and residues of the assassinations.

She is speaking on July 9th at MOMA...wish I could be there to see it. If you're in the NYC area, please go and tell me how it was.

Venice Bound

2009-06-16T16:48:00.002-04:00

A week from now I'll be wandering around Venice for the Biennale. All this excitement is heightened by the fact that I don't have a visa so international travel always runs the risk of ending with a boot straight back to the ol' USA. In the meantime I've been attempting to draw for the first time ever. It's quite a slow process since I suck at it but each day gets better so maybe in about a year I'll post something online :)

Here are some visuals of the Biennale to make up for me not posting anything of my own...

If I were in New York today, I would go see this at Team Gallery...

Anyone in New York should check out Haley's first solo show at Hous Projects Gallery. It's located at 31 Howard Street, 2nd Floor. Her work is interesting and smart and visually stunning. I can't wait to see it...
