Traveling On A High Frequency
I stopped by Jay Blakesberg's studio one day in May. What I found was his latest project's progress: a massive book, Traveling On A High Frequency, archiving the last 30 years of Jay's concert/musician photography. For this book, he compiled a smattering of over 1200 photos beginning in 1978. My favorite statistic is that only about 45 were shot with his digi. I find that fascinating.
Seeing 300 or so pages of said book laid out on the floor of Jay's studio (amidst his finalizing the order they are now published in), I was *shocked* into taking this pic of him. Guess that's one interpretation of Traveling On A High Frequency. Wonder what the others are?
Here's the cover (Flaming Lips). There will be a book release party at The Independent in SF on November 11 for the west coasters. The east coast should get one on November 17, a night off during "The Other New York City Marathon", aka 2 week Phil and Friends Nokia run.
After seeing the mock-book that did end up going to production, the word of 2008 fully becomes present: WOW. You won't believe it when you see it. Major amts of High Frequency comin' outta that sucker. HERE for latest news
