Witch Cult returns to Musichead

oregon black metal band witch cult live at musichead in medford

Wednesday night Witch Cult opened for a couple bands (Love Songs From the Hated and The Delta Halos) that I didn’t hang around for at Musichead in Medford. Witch Cult has a new drummer now, and the corpse paint is gone, but they still sound great. They are playing again Saturday night, December 1, at Musichead. The show is supposed to start at 5, but Core System Failure is opening for them so don’t expect Witch Cult to be on stage before 6.

Ashland Hippies — young and old

I probably haven’t focused on this part of Ashland enough, but there are a ton of hippies in this town. This mother-daughter duo was waiting for the Southern Oregon Pride Parade to begin.

Who is ready for breakfast?

Blueberry muffins at the Ashland Saturday Market

The Ashland Saturday Market is now closed for the season, but until recently you could head down there (between Wells Fargo Bank and Standing Stone Brewery–basically here) and pick up some really yummy things to eat for breakfast.

One-year anniversary of David Grubbs murder

david grubbs murdered in ashland oregon november 19

It has been a full year since David Grubbs was murdered on Ashland’s bike path as he walked home from work at Shop’n Kart. I remember the evening of November 19, 2011 and the subsequent days well. The police haven’t arrested anyone yet, but they did do some searches this past week in conjunction with this ongoing case.

First real photo with my new Nikon D600 DSLR camera

Southern Oregon University campus on a foggy morning

As I mentioned on my other blog, I picked up a new Nikon D600 last week. After a few test shots to see if there was any dust or oil on the sensor direct from the factory (there wasn’t), this was my very first pic with my new camera body. It was a foggy morning on the SOU campus when I took this picture.

Raiders win first round of NAIA football playoffs 45-28!

#15 Cole McKenzie with the catch for the SOU Raiders

The Southern Oregon University football team scored four touchdowns in the fourth quarter today against St. Ambrose (Iowa – ranked #8) for their first playoff win in a decade. Now they move on to the quarterfinals.

Today’s photo is from last week’s game. You know that scene on TV when the cameraman gets plowed into by the guy running out of bounds? That was almost me when I took this photo (which hasn’t been cropped). I was moving out of the way as I took this pic so as to avoid ending up underneath these two.

Floater @ Rogue Theatre in Grants Pass

The nice thing about volleyball photography is you don’t have to change seats to change your view as the teams switch sides after each game.

Dankook University’s Traditional Korean Dance Performance at Southern Oregon University

This past Tuesday evening I had the privilege to witness SOU’s sister university in South Korea, Dankook University, put on a traditional Korean dance performance in the Music Recital Hall on the SOU campus. Apparently, they also did this show at Oregon State University (OSU) the day before or after.

The costumes and performance were so stunning that I’ll post some more images from this event in the future as well under this link.

I’m hoping to teach at DKU in Seoul next summer.
