October 2, 2005 A Random Photo Browser has been added to the site. It will give you a new random selection of images from all areas of the site every time visit the page or click on one of the thumbnails.
September 7, 2005 Yewande has asked me to take down her photos, as they do no reflect the way she looks now, so I've removed them from the site. While this is not a "publicity site" per se, it is important to me that the artists feel comfortable with the way they are portrayed here. Hopefully I'll get a chance to shoot some newer photos of her, next time she is in New York.
August 19, 2005 Something very new (to this site) MUSIC! For the past few months I have been making audio recordings various performers as part of my overall documentation of the music community. One of those artists - Carol Thomas - asked me to post her music here. Thank you Carol. Enjoy.
March 8, 2005 Sorry it took me so long Rhian! New Artist:
March 5, 2005 A visible change: a smaller logo at the top (actually this has been in place for about a month), and... An invisible change: I finally updated the backend database system that generates the pages for this site and keeps track of which artists belong to what photo. This should make it easier to get new images on to the site. What used to take two hours or more now takes about 15 minutes. :-)New Artist:
November 11, 2004 A small change - if you look at the BRC Weekly Calendar, it is now sorted by artist and by venue as well as by date, which will hopefully make it easier to find what interests you.
October 24, 2004 (much later) Two updates in one day! Upside of digital camera - much faster & less expensive workflow. Downside - lower off-line image quality. So here are... New Artist: New Images Added To:
October 24, 2004 (in the wee small hours of the morning) The BRC Weekly Calendar is here!!! People often ask, "How do I find out about shows?" A good to place to start is the Black Rock Coalition (BRC) "This Week In Black Rock", an international listing of shows and events. It's an important source of information that I use all the time, and now I can share it with you! Thank you Laronda Davis and Darrell McNeill of the Black Rock Coalition for permitting me to post this valuable resource. You can find the calendar here. If you want to be listed in the calendar, please contact the BRC. New Artists: (from the Brooklyn New Music Festival) New Images Added To: (also from the Brooklyn New Music Festival)
