I don't talk much about my music performance photography work here. It's not my main gig, if I can grab a musician's turn of phrase for a moment.

For almost four years now, I have been quietly showing up, sometimes religiously, sometimes sporadically, at Monday Night Jazz at Quinn's in Beacon, NY, and making photographs. I was there at the inception and documented pretty completely the first two years before deciding I needed to take a break. It's a lot of work. A minimum of a couple hundred images are made at each session and these have to be reviewed and whittled down to a manageable group, usually around fifty, and then further whittled down to twenty or so that will be edited with a goal of posting ten to fifteen images to Facebook as a record.

During that time, writer Mike Faloon was also showing up. He wrote an evocative series of articles about the experience during those first two years and used my photographs, if I made any, to illustrate them.

At some point, Mike decided to pull the collection together into a book. He has found a publisher and they are in the final editorial stages of producing the book, which will feature black and white versions of my images of the performers. One per chapter. Approximately twenty of my photographs will be published.

The book will be titled "The Other Night at Quinn's."
