Well. That’s a bit misleading. Swift & Damien finished an album’s worth of songs in that time. But they’re hardly done. In a way, they’re just warming up for a full month of recording this summer. It’s going to be good. Hard to believe with that schedule that they...

LP10: day one
Yesterday afternoon, Damien officially began his TENTH record. Naturally, in the time it took Shealynn and I to run out and get burgers, he and Swift recorded 5 immaculate tracks of guitar & vocals. Two hours later, 4 more. Their pace is inspiring, as is the end product.

We began our...
preview: notes from home
Last Wednesday, I had the privilege of attending the latest show in the Notes from Home series, curated by Dylan Priest & Tyler Kalberg. Along with Laura Musselman, I was asked to document the evening in photos as they took video & Zach Varnell captured audio. The performers? Colin Reynolds, Damien Jurado,...
LIGHTNESS
Today is my 31st birthday. Or, as my 18 year old sister likes to put it, ‘the start of my 4th decade.’ Auspicious!
I picked this important day to make an important announcement. You might notice one word missing from this site in the past week. The word? Photography. It’s...
hello eleven
We Jurados spent a reflective, creative end to the new year curled up at one of my favorite hotels in Portland. We’re gearing up for a big year in photos + music, and silence was the perfect way to begin it. Also, I am a sucker for a cozy robe.
One of the first...
landcam
Right before we left for tour, I fixed up my sweet but non functional Polaroid 250 at landcameras.com. I should’ve just bought from them in the first place! Nonetheless I had a new rechargeable battery installed, and will do some further cleaning and modifications when we have a bit more time. It...
hasta pronto
It is strange to edit these photos from the comfort of my own living room. I’d planned to work on them during our flight home, when I was still officially on tour; however, after delays and mishaps, I spent our 26 hour return home in a weird dramamine haze. I look at these...
cansado
Typing backstage in Ourense, where we smoke indoors and are surrounded by people we adore even if we only see them once a year. It is safe to say we are both exhausted, but exhilarated nonetheless. Home is only a few days away. The images have slowed and the to-do list awaiting...
y despues
Ahhhh. Spain. Seeing dear friends, a new baby boy born since we were last here, beautiful meals shared with beautiful people, strange concepts of time, a veil of confusion more often than not. It is so amazing here, and Damien is so loved.
The last show is in one week.

Goodbye to Richard. Goodbye to England.
I can’t even explain how busy the past few days have been. I CAN eat room service and take a bath, however, which is huge progress.
[HELLO SPAIN.]
