Isolation Ward
May 22, 2010 -- A private members-only tour of the unrestored portion of Ellis Island: 29 hospital buildings on the South side. The tour was offered to donating members of the non-profit, Save Ellis Island.
Save Ellis Island is the National Park Service fundraising and programmatic non-profit partner for the rehabilitation of the twenty-nine remaining buildings on Ellis Island, with the mission and mandate to raise the funds necessary to create and sustain, within these buildings, the Ellis Island Institute and Conference Center.
(The abandoned portions of the island have been open to tours on a very limited basis since the 2005 as part of Open House New York.)
The full set on Flickr. If you enjoy these photos, I highly encourage you to donate to Save Ellis Island. See also behind the scenes in Times Square, Radio City Music Hall, Murray's Cheese caves, 7WTC, and the High Line.

Street Sweeper Social Club
March 20, 2010 -- Street Sweeper Social Club perform at Rachael Ray's Feedback Festival, as part of the twenty-fourth South By Southwest (SXSW) Music and Media Conference and Festival in Austin, Texas.
This was during their insanely loud cover of MIA's "Paper Plans" and Bootsy is miming that he's got a gun in his hands. And yes, that's Tom Morello, with the guitar and super-cool shades.

New Politics
March 19, 2010 -- New Politics perform at Dirty Dog Bar, as part of the twenty-fourth South By Southwest (SXSW) Music and Media Conference and Festival in Austin, Texas.
This guy would not stop moving -- pointing, jumping, posing, break dancing. He was definitely meant for the stage.

Fucked Up
March 19, 2010 -- Fucked Up perform at the SPIN@Stubb's Party, as part of the twenty-fourth South By Southwest (SXSW) Music and Media Conference and Festival in Austin, Texas.
This might be one of my favorite live music shots ever. Damien of Fucked Up started pouring water onto the ground and create a mud puddle. Then he just laid down in the mud. (At this point, most of his clothing was already off, anyway.) Totally, insanely memorable.

Hole
March 19, 2010 -- Hole perform at the SPIN@Stubb's Party, as part of the twenty-fourth South By Southwest (SXSW) Music and Media Conference and Festival in Austin, Texas.
I must confess, Courtney looks pretty good for her age. I also somehow torn a hangnail during the SPIN party, but didn't realize I was bleeding until after Hole's set. Too focused, I guess!
