This past week was a step out of the comfort zone for a studio-hermit like me. While traveling out east from Denver to my hometown of Liberal, KS to Kansas City for work, an old friend gave me a ring and asked me to work with his new band, The Notionaries, on some promo images to coincide with their recent record deal. While band portraits are definitely not my normal assignment, I agreed with out batting an eye and hopped in my car stuffed to the brim with studio equipment and set sail for Wichita, KS.
When I pulled into Wichita that day, my heart sank when I saw the landscape that greeted me: a sea of dead trees, bland brick buildings and a downtown with as much excitement as a funeral service (Sorry Wichita, but you're hardly a sight for sore eyes). I immediately was taken back to the way I felt trying to find inspiration in my hometown before I made the big move to Colorado.
Check out the final photos in the slideshow below, if you're itching for some new tunes, give a listen to The Notionaries' two new singles here!
