#BlackLivesMatter Protest
After a heavy week of national tragedy, Miami came together Saturday, July 9, to protest and march against police brutality and gun violence. A crowd of all ages and races slowly formed in front of the Wynwood Walls starting at 6 p.m. People brought signs and stood peacefully in protest for an hour, occasionally chanting phrases in unison like "Hands up, guns down" and "No justice, no peace, no violent police" before marching around Wynwood and then all the way down to Bayside and back. The congregation started accumulating momentum as it moved downtown, proudly engulfing half the street and eventually Biscayne Boulevard. Slideshow for Miami New Times.
People / July Art Walk
On Saturday, July 9, Wynwood observed a more political Art Walk as members of the community congregated in front of the Wynwood Walls to protest police brutality and support the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Slideshow for Miami New Times.
People / Secret Garden
I spent Saturday night people-watching in the Toejam Backlot as it filled to capacity despite the summer heat. The crowd was energetic and kind, eager to vibe together in a positive space after a dark week of gun violence & police brutality. Slideshow for Miami New Times.
Modest Mouse & Brand New
This was a little more of a sentimental show for me because I went through phases with both Modest Mouse & Brand New when I was in high school - but never made it to see either of them live during that time. I was excited to get the opportunity to photograph both bands all these years later. Modest opened with their full eight-piece ensemble, and almost every instrument under the sun including multiple guitars, stand-up & electric bass, banjo, keys, xylophone, trumpet, tuba, wood block and two drum sets.
