about me
Welcome to my blog, my name is Lindsey aka modchik. A former Operations Manager with a strong desire to CREATE. In 2009 I decided my 9-5 job wasn't working for me (or my two kids). I traded my calculator for a camera and began building a blog. By the end of 2010 modchik-photography happened. I have a penchant for good recipes, strong coffee, iPhoneography, mid-century modernism, fashion trends, astrology and Pinterest. I get to talk about all of that here. I promise you'll never be bored.

rock the concert shot
I am a long time fan of bands and their albums and consequently the concerts that lure me like a moth to a flame. Back in the day it was almost impossible to sneak a camera in largely due to the fact that compact still meant you needed a purse to carry it in. Nowadays I am amazed how lax security is as well as the artists themselves (Prince included) are about being photographed on stage. Sneaking in a pic used … Continue reading
Red Carpets, Movie Stars and the Foo
Oh MTV how much do you make me feel old? I was my son’s age when MTV first aired and that feels like only a few years, not decades ago. I actually like being in my forties, these are my best years yet, but not when you are surrounded by two THOUSAND girls in hot pants, and stilettos that are half your age. This is when being 40 gets you nowhere but the nosebleed seats. I get it I’m not MTV’s … Continue reading
Wasting Light and White Limos
Last week my good friend and fellow Foos follower Nicole went up to the infamous Grauman’s Chinese Theatre (a must see if you visit LA) to watch the premiere of the Rockumentary Back and Forth by director James Moll, a look back at the 16 year career of the band Foo Fighters. I happily sunk into the plush red seats, strapped on the ol’ feedbag and drifted off into a sea of bliss. Watching clips from the early nineties of Dave in Nirvana reminded me so much of … Continue reading
Duran Duran, Mark Ronson & Modchik
I just realized I have been withholding something from my readers. I may have alluded to the fact that I deeply love 80′s and you already know how much I live for music but I don’t think I have truly revealed my love for all things Duran Duran or “Jewran Jewran” as Simon says. I grew up with the poster lined walls of the fab 5, mixed tapes in my Sony Walkman, headphones permanently smashed against my ears effectively guaranteeing tinnitus by my early 30s. I … Continue reading
Say Yes
I hate regret. Last night I was asked if I wanted a ticket to see Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters drummer) and the Coattail Riders play at the Troubadour to celebrate their album launch Red Light Fever. This is what I missed… and evidentally had I been there I would have also experienced this… *I ended up getting Nate Mendel in to the show. *I met John Paul Jones. *I met Chris Chaney. *Nick Oliveri was there, but didn’t see him after the show. *Elliot Easton & Dave Grohl jumped … Continue reading
