New Blog Site!!

I have a new blog that I'm using instead of this one. It's been a few years since I've updated this and I figured I should link people to my Tumblr blog. I've been using it because it is a bit easier to use than this one. Feel free to follow it and message me there. Javanshearn.tumblr.com

Since 1913's Last Show(7/25/2010)
My friends in Since 1913 ha their final show recently so I came out and got a few shots for them. I have to say they were by far one of my favorite bands to photograph because of their awesome stage presence. Thankfully their last show was no exception. I'll definitely miss shooting their shows but I look forward to hearing the future projects of the band. Click on the photo to see the full set.

Substantial(7/24/2010)
Took a trip up to DC with a good friend of mine to shoot rapper Substantial. It was a good trip minus a few detours. I got some good shots and he said he liked them too which is always a plus.

Alex Dance(7/12/2010)

Colin Skating(6/13/2010)
I hung out with an old friend about a week ago and we decided to go skate for a little bit. Well more like he skated and I took pics. anyways It was good to see that dude and catch up for a couple of hours. I was pretty happy with how these shots came out using my 50mm. I'm becoming partial to using that lense if I can. Check out the full set by clicking on the pic.
