  • Books

    "This wonderful vital force that was articulated by the music was really about corrupting every form-- it was about advocating kids not to wait to be told what to do, but make life up for themselves, it was about trying to get people to use their imaginations again, it was about not being perfect, it was about saying it was okay to be amateurish and and funny, that real creativity came out of making a mess, it was about working what you got in front of you and turning everything embarrassing, awful and stupid in your life to your advantage." -my mantra courtesy of Legs McNeil, Please Kill Me - The Uncensored Oral History of PUNK
  • Heroes

    Michel Gondry, Wayne Coyne, John Waters, Jim Henson, Ed Wood, Sid & Marty Kroftt, Mr. T, Spike Jonze, Dr. Seuss, Mark Mothersbaugh, Andy Kaufman, MIss Lola Belle...
    And my grandpa Pete who was a POW in WWII. TWICE. Meaning he got caught by the Germans, escaped, got caught again, got starved and tortured then escaped again. But he liked one of the German guards, and formed a little bond with him, so he purposely didn't escape on that dude's shift. He spent the rest of his life never sweating the small stuff. And being a total fucking wise ass. He used to take me to the beach. He met John Lennon. He liked my crazy get-ups and hair. I got my sense of humor from him. And my legs.

    and my mom survived cancer and my dad survived 9/11 and they're pretty badass too. And my cousin Mikey... And anyone who makes lemonade.

About me:

Recovering party girl, now I just wanna make stuff. And make stuff better.
The following were directed by me (use the arrows on either side to scroll)-- It's my livelihood. I'm fast, cheap, and so much fun to work with, former clients have volunteered as PA's on latter shoots. And given me devices to nurture my other videophile tendencies. (No, not that kind of "device".)

FOR HIGHER RES VERSIONS, CHECK OUT BAMiAM.tv <-- That's a link.



I'm also a Live Video Mixer/Projectionist - I've spewed my video art at venues including The Nokia Theater, Irving Plaza, Bowery Ballroom, Webster Hall, The 9:30 Club in DC, Mercury Lounge and much more, plus Brooklyn art spaces including Rubulad, Asterix, Glasslands & Mighty Robot.

As of now, I'm the only video artist I know who rocks the keytar.
BAMiAM.tv VJ REEL - 2 Skinnee Js 2008 from BAMiAM on Vimeo.
I currently play with positivity pioneer VIC THRILL who's sound I like to describe as the Clash's "Bankrobber" on crystal meth. .. I've also projected behind The Bogmen, Hopewell, The Knockout Drops, Wormburner, Adrian Hibbs, Alana Amram, 2 Skinnee Js and more.
To see me in action, check out my calendar. Or CLICK HERE ..   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Who I'd like to meet:

I’m looking for other bands/artists who are interested in adding another dimension to their live show via projections. I specialize in artist-specific video art (personalized visuals for each song/artist.)

Hire me to shoot your next music video!! Live video mixing has opened more cerebral doors for me so that I’m concepting at 3x my normal rate. You can check out most of my reel above, BUt just think, your video will be 3x better.

I also shoot live shows and do touring docs.

This doesn't mean I want to randomly add your band as a friend. I only add people I have connections to in reality. If you'd like to cultivate a connection, message me and we'll take it from there.
