The King is Indeed Alive and Well

July 21, 2009

No, not talking about some random sighting of a polyester wearing Elvii, but a king of real rock n roll. The Melvins, led by Buzz Osbourne (aka King Buzzo) and Dale Crover have been pounding out heavy, progressive music for 25 years…and there’s no sign of stopping anytime soon.

These were from a show in October 2006 at Star Hill in Charlottesville, Virginia, when they started touring with Big Business.

April 22, 2009

The warmth of Spring is approaching, heralded by misty mornings with their perfect light. The fields are newly green and vibrant and now is a great time to capture the beauty of your farm and horses before a busy season of shows and traveling begin. Farm sessions are the best way to capture an amazing portrait of your horse or the perfect riding photo.

Senior Portraits – New Site

April 20, 2009

The past several days I have been working on a new website dedicated to Senior portrait sessions.  My goal was to make it artistic, edgy, simple and to the point… a reflection of the sessions themselves.  I have lots of ideas and locations in mind for senior sessions and am anxious to get the information out there.

Visit the new site at seniors.jclinedinst.com
