Baauer @ The Hangar
Baauer threw down Saturday night for a hungry crowd at The Hangar. This was my first time shooting at the downtown venue on NE 11th, and it was the most fun I've had at a club show in a while. The space wasn't packed too tightly, even by the time Baauer came on shortly after 1:30 a.m. He kept the room rowdy, bouncing, and begging for more. Slideshow for Miami New Times.
People Watching @ Miami Music Week
Miami Music Week is my favorite time of the year. People flood in from all over the country, abandoning their boring jobs and usual selves to get lit in one of the few American cities still warm in mid-March. Similar to Art Basel, there's a million things to do every day for more than a week and it can be difficult to figure out what's worth your time (and money). After hitting a few South Beach hotel parties and a Friday night downtown post-Ultra, Get Lost at Little River Studios felt like a unique alternative to the overwhelmingly EDM scene. They created my favorite use of a space, and housed the funkiest crowd I saw all weekend. It was a hustle trying to hit as many events as I could in four days, but there's no better time to be out with a camera in Miami. Slideshow for Miami New Times.
People Watching @ Calle Ocho Carnaval
Calle Ocho was loud and colorful for Carnaval on Sunday, March 13.
I spent the sweltering afternoon weaving between vendors and stages, people watching on the clogged stretch of blocked off street. These are a few of my favorite characters I ran into. Slideshow for Miami New Times.
