On Repeat: Joe Cocker - Come Together
Gah, two in a row! Last week, I was a bit off schedule, but I'm setting things straight with this whole music Monday thing (because I like alliteration and because on Mondays you kind of NEED good music).
I've listened to this approximately six times today.
And if you're in Beacon, and you look into the window at Click, there's a good chance you'll catch me rocking out at my desk.

On Repeat: L'il Red Riding Hood
It's no secret, I'm a sucker for a good cover. I'm a fan of both Amanda Seyfried (period) and the Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs' version of the song, so it should come as no shock that this is on repeat. There's also another version in the new Volvo commercial - if anyone knows who sings that one, be a doll and let me know, won't you?
Download on iTunes:
Update: the Volvo version is Laura Gibson:

Move On MS
 |
| posters designed by Jose Prieto // autographed guitar for auction from My Chemical Romance |
In 2007, an award-winning wedding photojournalist took a chance on a nineteen-year-old kid who didn't know why digital cameras still had ISOs. Karen hired me as an intern, promptly switched my camera to the Manual setting, and then she taught me how to shoot, how to run a company and she believed in my abilities as a photographer. She taught me much of what I know about the industry and, without her early guidance & support, I doubt I would be where I am today. In addition to being an artist with a camera, she's also a brilliant writer, a great mom & friend and she became a coach in helping people live with multiple sclerosis through her own experiences. Karen has MS.
On March 29th, I photographed Move on MS, a fundraising event at American Trash in NYC. The event was coordinated by Katie Ellsweig, who's a big time PR lady at Big Machine Media, and who threw a sock hop themed 11th birthday party -- which I attended.
Katie put together Move On MS in honor of her mom, Jean, who lost her twenty-four-year battle with multiple sclerosis in the spring of last year. She was 52. Between Karen and Katie and my own family's comparable struggles, you can understand why I jumped at the opportunity to help. Neurological diseases are so devastating to patients and their families and it's so important to raise awareness and help in any way you can - whether that means you're marching on Washington to get bills like this one passed, sharing you story, or, in this case, donating a few bucks, having a few beers and listening to some rock bands -- sounds brutal, I know!!
In case you're not convinced by my personal experiences and scattered sarcasm, you should know...
all the cool kids are doing it.
Here are some of the folks that contributed to making Move on MS a success:
And these guys put on a hell of a show:
Oh, and that company, Click Pictures, photographed it - ever heard of them?

| Rockstar photographer, Anna Webber with friends // the donation door // Katie being fierce |
 |
| Anna Webber & Katie Ellsweig giving away lots of cool stuff // raffle tickets // winner winner, chicken dinner! |

| Click Co-founder, Matt Versweyveld, being a hardcore rock photographer (or probably making fun of my shoes) |

| That's me making goofy faces & rocking out while simultaneously embarrassing Matt. And (because what kind of music post would this be without music?) here's my favorite upon favorites from the show: You can read more about MS or donate at www.msassociation.org Oh, and if you're in NYC this weekend, Oscar Rodriguez and his band are playing at American Trash on Friday! |

Tunes
I haven't updated my editing soundtrack in a while
& I've pretty much played everything I have out,
but I downloaded Youth Novels, by Lykke Li, yesterday and it's been on loop in the studio.
Anything special yous are listening to, these days?
