Letters from June




A few years back a a band called Splinter asked me to shoot their CD cover and a poster for them.  We had a lot of fun doing it.  Though some of the band members weren't happy with my choice of location.  Not that it wasn't "picturesk" it just was a bit nerve racking to have these guys climb up this crumbling tower of concrete located a dozen or so stories above the streets of Philly!  While I stayed in my cat-bird seat safe and sound!   Everybody was safe!  And no one got killed in the making of this photo.  
A while back Kevin Hill the drummer from Splinter splintered off from the group (I had to use the word splinter -it was to easy!) and started his own band with Joe Caliva,  called Letters from June.  He asked me to shoot their new cover.  A bit of a departure from his old band in musical style but wonderfully melodic just the same.  If you ever get a chance to hear them you should.
