Friday evening, I shot a couple of events for forthcoming SoJones pieces. The first one was a look-see event for a dress designer. The collection was cool. But my favorite part about the event was the space. It was one of those lofts with high ceilings, where everything was painted white.

This shot below is probably my favorite one from the event:

Afterward, I ventured back downtown, toward the east village to cover some live music.

I wanted Reagan to come, but she was busy sewing cushions for Piper’s chair. Plus apparently she was pretty tired, since I came home to find her passed out with her book resting on her belly. Hehe. The band that I was there to cover was really cool. There was also this Russian beat box/rapper who opened for them, called Krussia. Sweet name, I know. The dude was amazing. He seriously could give Doug E Fresh a run for his money.

A-team van. I would have freaked to see this in real life, when I was 10.

M3 Undercarriage:

Volkswagen paint swatches. Super cool display. I really liked this image:

And, my favorite by far: the baby blue Astin Martin with the Union Jack. Ms. Moneypenny in the background, filing some stuff.

Yes, this makes two consecutive posts with the word “product” in the title, hahahah. Wednesday evening, I shot a bunch of product images for a forthcoming SoJones piece. It was a lot of fun, as usual.

I’m curious to know what other people’s reactions are, to the fact that the collegiate look will be back again this fall for the second year in a row. I mean… I personally thought that the whole caution tape dress-look was going to be predominant for fall 2010. Guess I was wrong. Anyone care to weigh in?

Last night was a Karen Sabag runway show at the Altman Building in Chelsea. The venue was awesome. The ceiling in their event space is made of paver brick, which I loved. I was able to shoot the backstage, as well as the runway show. No CF card malfunctions Wednesday night. But there was a problem with the lights. Which was a bummer, because in contrast to the iFashion show, Tuesday night, Sabag, was actually properly lit. Luckily, they resolved it, after a few minutes. I was freaking out digging for my flash, for a sec. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. Catch more coverage from the Sabag show on shotbyjake.com.

Last night was the iFashion runway show, featuring 3 emerging designers. I was shooting back stage, as well as the actual show. It was a lot of fun. Although, I was totally punked by one of my CF cards which failed when I as trying to retrieve the images from it. I lost about 300 of the images from the headliner’s portion of the show (and the ones that I was the most excited about). When I realized that the card was corrupted, I almost had a heart attack. All in all, I still came away with some OK, stuff. Stupid technology. Sorry that there are so many photos in this post, and I know that the watermark is annoying. Here they are anyway.
