Updated Haddad Ink Photography Website Yaaayyy

Saturday, December 3rd, 2011

Much like a Muppet wildly waving his arms, I get excited when I get to put up new pix for the site. You can check out my latest Musician gallery additions, for the Champaign bands the indie Year of the Bobcat and the metalcore By Any Means, here on the photo site. I happen to enjoy both of these bands very much. YotB was playing at one of CV Lloyde’s free shows and I was asked by the establishment to take some shots of the event, and By Any Means happened to be playing at the same show I was going to see Proximity Fuze.

These are my two favorites from the BAM show.
By Any Means Champaign, Illinois

Year of the Bobcat is freaking adorable:

I get emails from this guy whenever he releases some new stuff. I found him when I was looking at video game covers. He has a nice guitar and nice skills. This video shows he also has hilar video skillz with sweet backdrops. He usually does songs like the Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest boss theme. He seems like a nice guy. I would like to jam with him.

Check out his website for his sweet banner haha. Sooo good.

Lady Gaga’s VMA performance of “Paparazzi”

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

Gaga began her act prostrate onstage as if crushed by an ornate chandelier and half-staggered, half-danced around as she sang and finished up as blood poured forth from below her breasts. It was a performance, VMA creative director Lee Lodge told MTV News, that was inspired by references as diverse as “Phantom of the Opera,” Madonna, Marie Antoinette, the pope and Jesus.

“Gaga came to the table with the idea that she wanted to perform while she was injured and she wanted to perform with lots of blood,” Lodge said. “And there was always the idea of ‘Phantom.’ Then we had a creative planning meeting and she called in from Jerusalem. She’d just been to Jesus’ tomb and she was very inspired.”

The Holy Land inspiration led her to the idea of ending the performance by metaphorically dying and then being lifted up into the air as if ascending to heaven. “It was supposed to be commenting on the life of celebrity,” he explained. “Even though you see her dying, she’s going to a much better place.”

….needs more skarsgaard.
