Since then a fruitful, inspiring, creative, loquacious, outrageous, dour and downright reptilian relationship has developed. She's a photographer and I'm a musician. We've traversed the country several times together. In this interview we talked shop like two old friends on a park bench. Some are fun and some are not fun at all. Sun Club. Sun Club B: Yeah yeah talk about Sun Club. And the tour. C: Well that tour in a nutshell was pretty sweaty and boozy.
C: No it was this time last year. We were down south for a bit so it was pretty warm, like in New Orleans, Atlanta, and North Carolina. And Sun Club is a good time. Devin is crazy, he works out after every set. Whenever people ask about them I always use your description of the inflatable tube man. C: Sometimes they deflate. First thing in the morning they are deflated. And then as the day goes on you can see them start to rise. B: So my second question is: The Districts. So what?
B: Right. How do you feel like Philly influences you as a person? With making art and taking photos? C: I guess when I lived in New York, I felt really stressed out and overwhelmed all the time and like always constantly worried about money.
And I think the people in Philly have a different attitude. Everyone is nicer. But not in like a fake way. I feel like I saw too much of that in New York. I keep dissing New York but Philly has brought out a lot of positive stuff. Ya know time is money! C: Yeah and Philly is so affordable and not over saturated with anything. You can actually do what you want to do. I work a day job a couple times a week and the rest of that time is spent doing all my photo stuff.
And I can still live comfortably. B: Well that leads into my next question B: Yeah I was gonna say, how was it being on the road with him? His work is amazing. B: How does being surrounded by artists influence your approach? Does it influence your approach even if the medium is different? Do you learn from your subjects in shooting them and also having relationships with them? C: Definitely. Not to get all weird about it but with energyβ.
