Retro Review: The Decemberists – The Crane Wife
The Crane Wife. In my opinion, this is The Decemberists at the peak of their songwriting and record-making prowess. The Island (track 2 on The Crane Wife) might be my favorite 12 minutes of music released in the last 25 years. So dynamic and cinematic. The music isn't just a passive vessel to carry the lyrics. It's a fully built out set on which the story unfolds.

Before / After – Orville Peck
Photographing artists with large hats is always a challenge as most of the time, they cast their face in dark shadows. For Orville’s show, the light was pretty manageable, so the biggest challenge was to pick my spots and wait for moments where his face was in view. After a while of doing this, you get pretty good at anticipating lighting changes and body movements based upon the dynamics of the music and use that to give the best chance to be in the right place at the right time with the right settings.
