Photography Blog | The Life and Times of Julie Harris Photo Blog | Photography Blogs. Welcome! This is where I show my work and write about what stirs me. Mary Ellen Mark says, "Reality is always extraordinary". I live by this. I'm a documentary photographer with a thirst for love, life and truth... a true bohemian at heart. In an industry saturated with trendy processing techniques and emphasis on style instead of substance, I strive to make honest images that are full of emotion and reality. Please visit and comment often!
After a couple of margaritas a couple of Sundays ago, I had a realization that I am missing out on documenting my own life because I’m documenting everybody else’s…. To be completely honest, I am usually just too beat and burned out to bring my camera to every function and document my life. Especially when people are expecting it. But if I could make images like these below, with no expectation, no demand, and no pressure—just for me, I would do it all the time. And I think I will.
As a lot of you know, my husband is in a band, Jesse Daniel and the Reckoning. Jesse grew up in Lyons and the band played a benefit in Lyons a couple of weeks ago for a girl he grew up with whose house burned down. Despite the unfortunate event with the fire, the event was marvelous. It was a great day to be in Lyons listening to live music—hot like hell, but a good crowd, cold beer, no expectations .
Also, if any of you are interested in following Jesse Daniel and the Reckoning, please friend them on facebook, Also come check them out on Thursday night at 9pm. They will be playing the Hi-Dive on Broadway. I’ll be there drinking many beers, as I don’t have a wedding on Friday!
I had the pleasure and honor of photographing this fantastic, up and coming Denver band, Jesse Daniel and the Reckoning…. This is just the first shoot of I hope many, for their upcoming promo packets and releases.
From left to right: Josh Fuller (bass guitar), John Getter (guitar), Brian LePien (drums) and Jesse Chatham (vocals and guitar)
Pure, good ole’ fashioned rock n’ roll is what I would call Jesse Daniel and the Reckoning… Vocal are like those of Billy Corgan, the songwriting compares to that of Josh Ritter and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and their sound, a hybrid of Soundgarden and The Kings of Leon, with seductive bass lines, and guitar breaks that keep you groovin’. But if you really want to get a taste of this handsome quartet, then you must come out to the Larimer Lounge tomorrow (2/25) to see them live. Show starts at 11p. I’ll be there drinking $2 PBRs, and if they can pack the house with 49 more music (or beer) enthusiasts, Jesse Daniel and the Reckoning will be playing the Bluebird! So get off your couch or make some coffee if you’re generally a “pumpkin” by this hour and rally! It will be completely worth it. You’ll be able to one day say, “Hey, man—I saw Jesse Daniel and the Reckoning at the Larimer Lounge one night before they went platinum!” Did I mention that Jesse Daniel is my husband?
If you’re coming, print out this JPEG. It will save you half off at the door/ normally $8 but only $4 with this coupon.
