B-Sides

Scroll down to see some other projects we have been a part of and media about some of our projects.

Arcade Fire

To see Arcade Fire at the Merge Records Anniversary Festival right before the band had
their big break in 2004. It is pretty surreal to see David Bowie playing that same song
with the band only a year after that. What a world we live in.

National Geographic Magazine

Of the different projects I have worked on for National Geographic the most inspiring one for me was about Aron Ralston. It isn't a story that I was shooting photos for as I was just doing image collections for this issue at Adventure. Aron Ralston was trapped for five days in a canyon and managed to cut off
his own hand saving his life . This is part of the story at this link.

Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #2 (Laika) live in Chapel Hill, NC

This is just one video camera and good microphone from that show. We thought this song was better
just left unedited of one angle of the four that we filmed. It really shows how together this band is without
having to edit anything to make it flashy. This is something we think fans would like.
Produced and Directed by Cam Carrithers
