Photography, Film, and Ramblings of Justin Willemsen

No microphones, amps, or expensive lighting. Just a stranger’s living room in Durham, NC. Almost People, who I believe lived at the house we were guests in, played an amazing acoustic set before Austin Lucas came and insisted on everyone standing no less than two feet away from him as he serenaded the masses. Just a man and his guitar. I’ve been to a ton of shows but nothing as intimate as this. As always there’s more photos at flickr.

I came across Scott G Toepfer’s site for his upcoming photo book and film, It’s Better In the Wind about just getting out and riding. His photo’s are amazing and I’m looking forward to checking the film out which is supposed to be released soon. Here’s a few to give a taste.

I was given a great opportunity by The Rock Shop in Fayetteville, NC to take some photos of a show they had. The venue is pretty damn nice, they have two stages, amazing lighting, and a killer sound system. It tops most of the places I used to go to in San Francisco and Sacramento and I wish more people took advantage of this much needed alternative to obnoxious clubs and seedy strip joints that surround the Ft Bragg region. These are a few shots I got on Friday of This Town is Poison and Damona Waits. You can see the rest on Flickr.

The day that I arrived in Fayetteville, NC a huge tornado destroyed a good chunk of the city. I’ve been wanting to take pictures ever since it happened and finally had the time to go out today. This is over a month since it happened so things have been cleaned up quite a bit but it’s still amazing how much damage the thing caused. See more on my flickr page.

I haven’t had my camera for months now but had some down time and started looking at some old pictures from last year that I haven’t touched since. Here’s some from the Walt Gray Ride that my pops, Katie, and I went on last summer. See more on my flickr page.

I became a published writer/photographer while I was at AIT. Before I joined the Army I took a ride to Lake Tahoe and ended up writing an article about it. Low and behold, Harley actually published it a few months later in HOG Magazine.
