The Family Township

Township are in the final of the WBCN Rumble (this Friday at Harpers Ferry in Allston). A few people act surprised but I don't know how you could if you even saw them play once -- no disrespect to the other bands. This photo was taken in March last year when Jason (on the left) from Radar Eyes was still in the band. I think I had made peace with the ISO noise of my camera at that point and was trying to use it to my advantage and make these photos look more painterly.

From Clay Eno's blog: What would Jesus Retouch?

Clever dude -- he is the person that originally got me thinking about the amount of non-darkroom type of processing I did to the photos: too much. I've turned that corner I feel a lot of new photographers encounter while trying to get that polished look hundreds of hours at a Watcom tablet do to the imagery that surrounds us. If you look at Clay's portraits you see human skin and it is beautiful. I'm a big fan of that now. Also, I recently read on Soth's blog that he did not have any big philosophical opposition to retouching. Fair enough, but I should have de-lurked and pressed him to expound on that (btw, he has, as usual, amazing work in the April issue of W). Maybe some other time.
