In early January, we were able to meet up with Kevin and Nicole to capture their love story. Upon receiving Nicole’s story, I knew right away that this shoot was going to be classic. Kevin is in the military. Twice in the past two years, he has been away for an extended period of time, reducing their communication to handwritten letters.

Tri-X Push Test – Annie’s Tragedy at Gold Crown Billiards 12-29-12

35mm pushed tri-x and low light digital images of show

Lately I’ve been trying to master pushed film and I’m learning every attempt that trial and error is the only way to get there. On December 29, 2012 I headed towards Harrisonburg to visit Gold Crown Billiards Bar and Grill. Long time friend, and current New Yorker, Nick Pascarella, was to play a reunion show there with his old band, Annie’s Tragedy. What a perfect opportunity for pushed film!
