I was asked to shoot this show by The 8x10 in Baltimore because of its high demand and quick sell out. It turned out to be one of my favorites of the year.</p>http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50652924281http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50652924281Fri, 17 May 2013 10:25:52 -0400by jordan august<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4931c139f50046cca9036df68c313f33/tumblr_mmy5ew1f8T1r4uom5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2 class="title">Erykah Badu</h2> <center><p><img src="http://1b40d7834cd36cb17272-d318e241556db478f2443eab8244ec10.r48.cf2.rackcdn.com/277ae70a27a086f8eed25011b099f17410c8bb6a.jpg" alt="277ae70a27a086f8eed25011b099f17410c8bb6a"/></p></center> <p>Prestigious, beautiful and an idol to many. This show was by far the most valuable of my career to date – not to mention a show I never thought I’d be able to witness with my own eyes. This photo is my best of the year – symmetrical, square and statuesque. <br/></p>http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50652918724http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50652918724Fri, 17 May 2013 10:25:44 -0400by jordan august<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/93cc1d216261e4d97e504d27c9942e02/tumblr_mmy5ep1QJN1r4uom5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2 class="title">Cris Jacobs</h2> <center><p><img src="http://1b40d7834cd36cb17272-d318e241556db478f2443eab8244ec10.r48.cf2.rackcdn.com/e1ebb15df80fe4d6167f4f0ab136d1cbacb66b68.jpg" alt="e1ebb15df80fe4d6167f4f0ab136d1cbacb66b68"/></p></center> <p>With the break up and departure of The Bridge, there is no better place to turn than to Cris Jacobs and his band.

This show at Electric Forest was straight fire. The day set brought true heads out. This photo is one of my first “on stage, looking out” shots.

This photo from The 8x10 is a proud moment. A drummer is always poorly lit and stuck in some strange corner, so this was all that at once. Weird light, weird spot, but such a good composition.</p>http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50652883126http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50652883126Fri, 17 May 2013 10:24:55 -0400by jordan august<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a938abcdc3393b5c2fa2389207c48e22/tumblr_mmy5dbisuq1r4uom5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2 class="title">Toubab Krewe at World Cafe Live!</h2> <center><p><img src="http://1b40d7834cd36cb17272-d318e241556db478f2443eab8244ec10.r48.cf2.rackcdn.com/6b1de0a848cb01ec9ebdd4ca7843500075b2085f.jpg" alt="6b1de0a848cb01ec9ebdd4ca7843500075b2085f"/></p></center> <p>Toubab has always laid cultural roots into people that didn’t know much about world music. For years I’ve seen this band all over the place and this photo sums up all of that.

Photos like this I consider a portrait. Corey was a dominant figure that night, adding some beautiful vocals to some old, classic Galactic songs. I spent most of the set shooting him. This one is my favorite. The soft backlights were all I needed to focus.</p>http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50583621986http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50583621986Thu, 16 May 2013 12:32:14 -0400by jordan august<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d364126dda6c5e26bff46e37072b538d/tumblr_mmwg8pT7Zw1r4uom5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2 class="title">BASSNECTAR</h2> <p><img src="http://1b40d7834cd36cb17272-d318e241556db478f2443eab8244ec10.r48.cf2.rackcdn.com/683743ba5489a244a7818bb06233c469f8d48aed_600.jpg" alt="683743ba5489a244a7818bb06233c469f8d48aed"/></p>http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50583219602http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50583219602Thu, 16 May 2013 12:24:25 -0400by nick rhodes 1349215835<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/32c1e224f5c3f29399b7ffe045fa7718/tumblr_mmwg8ir3Al1r4uom5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2 class="title">Inspired Flight at Re:Gen 2011</h2> <p><img src="http://1b40d7834cd36cb17272-d318e241556db478f2443eab8244ec10.r48.cf2.rackcdn.com/17a52ddd912a1e0e1d25ac140e40571d0682a45e_600.jpg" alt="17a52ddd912a1e0e1d25ac140e40571d0682a45e"/></p>http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50583213395http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50583213395Thu, 16 May 2013 12:24:18 -0400by nick rhodes 1349215835<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f3c4b9163bdcd3c103794db919913762/tumblr_mmwg8aZDOi1r4uom5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2 class="title">Sound Tribe Sector 9</h2> <p><img src="http://1b40d7834cd36cb17272-d318e241556db478f2443eab8244ec10.r48.cf2.rackcdn.com/3c248c5352efdeb9b96150d0b7c11386b2cbac06_600.jpg" alt="3c248c5352efdeb9b96150d0b7c11386b2cbac06"/></p>http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50583207224http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50583207224Thu, 16 May 2013 12:24:10 -0400by nick rhodes 1349215835<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/39a1288f1f3ceeed44a855ab9d0ca8ab/tumblr_mmwg833b9m1r4uom5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2 class="title">Zach Velmer of STS9</h2> <p><img src="http://1b40d7834cd36cb17272-d318e241556db478f2443eab8244ec10.r48.cf2.rackcdn.com/da46871190863670969f646742d88464849e0566_600.jpg" alt="da46871190863670969f646742d88464849e0566"/></p>http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50583200908http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50583200908Thu, 16 May 2013 12:24:02 -0400by nick rhodes 1349215835<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/817a7b6da97460a28f97803ac4a9b4ca/tumblr_mmwg7ub7we1r4uom5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2 class="title">LOTUS</h2> <p><img src="http://1b40d7834cd36cb17272-d318e241556db478f2443eab8244ec10.r48.cf2.rackcdn.com/23e329e9b62639e62e5fcc230aa53d9cf7f8ec49_600.jpg" alt="23e329e9b62639e62e5fcc230aa53d9cf7f8ec49"/></p>http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50583192911http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50583192911Thu, 16 May 2013 12:23:54 -0400by nick rhodes 1349215835<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7dd31df517735776044fd665f0fc6a23/tumblr_mmwg7lYKJ91r4uom5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2 class="title">Up Until Now</h2> <p><img src="http://1b40d7834cd36cb17272-d318e241556db478f2443eab8244ec10.r48.cf2.rackcdn.com/52d375f7e4ae82f4f850c385798b4aa949ca2eb5_600.jpg" alt="52d375f7e4ae82f4f850c385798b4aa949ca2eb5"/><br/></p>http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50583185078http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50583185078Thu, 16 May 2013 12:23:45 -0400by nick rhodes 1349215835<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/9ca70e76f3bef47c36fffe89247458f0/tumblr_mmwg7dnDuE1r4uom5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2 class="title">BASSNECTAR</h2> <p><img src="http://1b40d7834cd36cb17272-d318e241556db478f2443eab8244ec10.r48.cf2.rackcdn.com/a62b020b7738ab087a807d500b4271d74d1f72d8_600.jpg" alt="a62b020b7738ab087a807d500b4271d74d1f72d8"/></p>http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50583177851http://pepsi.tumblr.com/post/50583177851Thu, 16 May 2013 12:23:37 -0400by nick rhodes 1349215835
