Awolnation @ The Detroit Fillmore (Photos) 7-3-15
By Alexis Simpson Awolnation is one of the most innovative and interesting bands currently touring. Frontman Aaron Bruno is quirky, but not overly so, meaning that his music is still relatable. The band last played at St. Andrew’s Hall in Detroit a few years ago, but last week the progressed to Detroit’s Fillmore. Bruno is a strong performer, and his band is solid as well. This is a group to pay attention to. Awolnation just released a new album a few weeks ago, and at first listen, it’s one of the best new albums we have heard lately. http://www.awolnationmusi.com https://www.facebook.com/AWOLNATION/ https://www.instagram.com/awolnationmusic

Movement Weekend 2015 Photos
By Alexis Simpson We started our Movement weekend off at the new Populux bar which used to be the Magic Stick. The roster of Acquaviva, Bell and Pullen was solid so we figured we would get the party kicked off early since since Movement didin’t officially start until Saturday. John Acquaviva Daniel Bell Stacey Pullen (official page) When I first found out that the Magic Stick was closing, at first I didn’t dwell on the fact that I had many great memories from that place. When checking out Populux for the first time, those memories surprisingly came flooding back. The staircase where I shot shows from like the Death Grips…

For Nature Lovers, Teachers, and Students: The Hanover, PA Bald Eagle Webcam Hatch Watch
By Alexis Simpson UPDATE: BOTH baby eagle chicks hatched! Make sure to click on the live feed below to see them:) A few weeks ago I stumbled across the Facebook group, “The Hanover Eagle Watch,” and I’ve been fascinated by it ever since. The Pennsylvania Game Commission, HDOnTap, Comcast Business, Friends of Codorus State Park and several other partners have been involved in setting up a webcam high up in the trees of Pennsylvania. The cam is documenting the progress of two Bald Eagles taking turns sitting on two eggs in order for the eggs to hatch. One egg is estimated to hatch today, and the second egg is due to hatch in a few days. Through rain,…

What it’s Like to Photograph the Detroit Auto Show 2015 (NAIAS 2015 Photos)
By Alexis Simpson I’ve photographed the North American International Auto Show in Detroit the last three years, and it’s a love/hate event. The major pro of photographing the show is that I’ve gotten to sell my photo to publications such as Forbes and The Wall Street Journal. In fact, the first photo I ever had published was a car photo from the auto show. This year I know I already had at least 8 photos published in The Wall Street Journal. Being published is an unbeatable feeling. Some photographers make sure to capture each car unveiling event as well as attend all the big parties. I haven’t gotten involved to…
