Tonight just off of Central Park West, in a 4th floor walkup, I saw Mark Erelli perform.
The kitsch was all around Mark as he delighted us mostly with new and unreleased works.
Erelli is one of the most generous performers I have had the good fortune to see. He, like Ellis Paul, comes from the Boston Singer/songwriter tradition. His work is moving and thought provoking all sung with intimate passion.
You can check our Mark’s work at his website http://www.markerelli.com/ or by searching youtube.
Oh and Mark was kind enough…sick and all…to a mini- shoot with me. I was deeply honored to capture these while Mark just played. AMAZING!
Thanks, Mark.
Those are extremely cool. Very nice.

What a cool opportunity. Did you rent another fish-eye or did you buy one??

It was such a great night. Very New York.
I rented another one. Last year I rented a 8mm which was awesome, but had that weird circle image with black edges so I was doing a lot of Photoshopping. This type I rented a 10mm with a “square frame” it is easy and simple. I am quickly falling in love with Fisheye photography.

Looks like someone really needs to buy a fish eye this year!
Great stuff Shrewbie! Love the third from last one the most.
