XAVIER MASCAREÑAS' BLOG — Photos and multimedia I’m working on or have already finished. Recent work is from The (Westchester County, N.Y.) Journal News,The (Farmington, N.M.) Daily Times. Older work is from the Austin (Texas) American-Statesman and the (University of) New Mexico Daily Lobo. I'll also try and keep notes on stuff I work on from time to time. Thanks for stopping by, and please say hi. Xavier
i felt horrible for the bands involved. they were out there al day, and there couldn’t have been more than 100 people total in attendance, for the day, for the festival which went from 10 or 11 in the morning to 9 p. m.
this photo kind of summed up the experience — not because the bands were bad, but because there was a lack of energy due to low attendance.
7/05/08 – Xavier Mascareñas/AMERICAN-STATESMAN; The ‘Born on the 5th of July’ EXIT Music Fest featured four stages of music at Waterloo Park in Austin on Saturday. Lorin Rhyne rest on her mother, Carey, between sets at the festival. They set up at the ‘Shut Up and Sing’ stage, near the drum stage. ‘Jingle,’ a miniature longhair daschund, rests at their feet.
heres a slideshow from UNM’s International Festival. i wanted to stay a bit longer (than half an hour) to eat some food, and shoot and interview, but had to split to shoot something else. Joey’s been a big help. he was able to interview the coordinator of it that afternoon, so we had at least one interview. slideshow ended up short and sweet.
i didn’t even know there was an Italian Film Festival in Albuquerque. in my defense, it is only the second year for it. today’s movie wrapped up the event—and what a way to do it! a SIX HOUR LONG MOVIE. actually, if i wasn’t working, it sounds kind of cool. i don’t know how much the tickets were, but they included a intermission lunch at Scalos. haven’t eaten there for awhile (if ever ?). everyone was very nice about talking with me, and it was for a good cause (UNMH Children’s Hospital). the production worked out well, more or less. had a variety of shots. it’s just a pain in the ass syncing audio, since we still don’t have the damn proprietary mic input for the Sony camera. the option, horribly muddled audio, isn’t really an option though.
