Bowling in Brooklyn

Last week, Kerrang Magazine assigned me to photograph Goes Cube for a feature article. Besides being a NYC-based rock/metal band, these three guys are avid bowlers. They actually travel with their own shoes and bowling balls and find lanes to play in each city when they’re on tour.

My assistant James Burger (check out his very cool stop motion video “intro-duck-tion”) and I spent the afternoon trying to throw strikes while making pictures in between frames.

After shooting some action pics, I posed the guys for a quick portrait.

For what it’s worth, I bowled a 106 and finished in third place (out of five). I guess I’ll stick with the photographic type of “frames.”
