Midlake is a rock band from Denton Texas. Earlier this year, I saw that they would be playing a show june 3rd at The Foundation so I thought I would try to get some kind of photo credentials.

If you get the chance to see Midlake, please do yourself a favor a drop a few bucks to see this band. I actually featured one... Continue reading

Post by Spencer Starnes This is my final project for my first photography class at UArts this year. The assignment was "Emulation". The purpose was to emulate a successful, published, fine art photographer. I chose William Eggleston.
