the grog-shop had a decent christmas show that
featured some of cleveland’s best local bands: roue, machine
go boom, this moment in black history and sounder. 

the next night at the "happy dog"
had the new lou reeds & MGB but i only shot a few pics.
TNLRs have a dude playing horn and added a rhythm guitarist
that i forget his name but he plays in "the dreadful
yawns".

these photos are first in over a year that i
pasted my ID on them before i uploaded (for reasoning behind
that decision, visit this blog-entry.

the christmas shots from the grog are here.

i had up a promo/splash page promoting the
photography show with "bryon miller" december 9th (details below), the flash
presentation was a lil too much for some people so i recently
removed it.

if you would like to view that promo you can
do so by going here.

fellow cleveland photographer "bryon miller"
and i will be having a photography show on friday december 9th
at the literary cafe as
part of the december tremont art-walk. bryon is one of the
curators of the miller/weitzel
gallery on detroit avenue and he asked me to share a show
with him at the "lit". he mentioned at the time that
this is his last showing in cleveland before he moves to
portland maine.  i’ve been to a couple art showings that
bryon had a few pieces in but i’ve never seen very much of it
outside a few pieces, so it will be nice to peruse more of his
work on that friday night.

happy holidays to everyone. this christmas morning we had a fresh snowfall in cleveland which inspired me to shoot some photography around the neighborhood. it was a really peaceful morning with kids opening their presents ala the movie "a christmas story" that was filmed on the same streets as many of the locations shot.

i went over my sisters place on this christmas that we received 12 inches of snow.

the gallery from december 25, 2002 is here.
