The Brumbies.

The Brumbies are a band based out of Salt Lake City, UT.  Their music offers a fresh twist on the overdone alternative world.  In addition to this, the ability to swap instruments allows each member to interpret each song in a different manner.  Which is also quite nice.  Recently, they asked me to photograph a practice session, which I gladly agreed to.  Little did I know that their practice room was as near as makes no difference, a Bikram Yoga studio.  Cooled by growlers of beer and fans that circulated hot/sweaty air, I listened into a wonderful set.  With cameras and lights in place and band members poised, I shot away.  Here's what I got.  Enjoy!

Grief.

Grief, sorrow, anguish whatever you want to call it, we all have to deal with it at some point in our lives.  It is inevitable.  All we can hope for is that we are somewhat prepared to handle whatever trials and tribulations arise.  However, that is rarely the case.  The delivery of bad news often triggers a chain of reactions within the beholder.  From excessive exercise to substance abuse it is merely a coping mechanism.  Many become so horrified that this event is forever etched into their minds.  Some choose to mourn.  Others choose to forget.  Regardless, grief has a profound effect on one's relationships with others.  In this series, I wanted to capture the moods/activities of people who were dealing with grief.
