@alohacrabs DOES #INSPIREDBYSOUND TAKEOVER, December 18, 2015

Whenever we can, we have photographers takeover our Instagram page for a weekend to talk music and show how their photography is #InspiredBySound. This past weekend we had Vincent Carabeo takeover. See either our feed or below on how music inspires his photography.

Hello, It’s me (?) – @alohacrabs. I was one of the first to ever do a takeover on this account and I guess it’s fitting that I’ll be the last one for the year. But before that, random facts!!! 1. Born in the Philippines, grew up in Hawaii. 2. Recent transplant to the Pacific Northwest by way of NYC and SF. Originally from Hawaii. 2. Vivian Maier is my idol (google her). I’d like to think I was a spy like her. 3. I love to eat my fruits with salt haha (please tell me I’m not the only one who does this) 4. I currently work at @moment_lens. 5. I love all formats – mobile, DSLR and film. 6. Currently listening to Christmas music. Now, tell me about yourself :) #InspiredBySound

?Ben Howard, James Bay, James Vincent Mcmorrow, Bon Iver ? Musicians I listen to when editing photos. Just brings out the feels! Don’t you think? What do you listen to when you edit? -@alohacrabs #InspiredBySound A photo posted by Grado Headphones (@gradolabs) on Dec 18, 2015 at 6:18pm PST

Nature – therapeutic tunes ? Just sit there. Listen to it all. Relax. -@alohacrabs #inspiredbysound

? Rain ? Most people have this idea that Washington rains all the time. That it’s depressing. Well if you’re one of those people – you’re absolutely wrong. The rain isn’t always bad. If anything, the moody weather makes this place magical. The evergreen trees, the fog, the mountains all look perfect with a hint of moody weather. Yes, it rains heavily here and there but that never really stops people from embracing all the beauty that the PNW offers. There’s just something calming about the rain. Don’t you think? -@alohacrabs #InspiredBySound A photo posted by Grado Headphones (@gradolabs) on Dec 20, 2015 at 2:48pm PST

?Promise – Ben Howard? Anytime I’m exploring the PNW I have this urge to listen to this song, especially when it rains. It’s not even the lyrics. It’s just the way the music makes me feel. You know? -@alohacrabs #InspiredBySound

This is @alohacrabs signing out! Thanks @jongrado for letting me share my photos + tunes. Now it’s your turn to give me some music to listen to! One day I’ll travel the world and I’m sure I’ll need some epic adventure playlist ?? #InspiredBySound A photo posted by Grado Headphones (@gradolabs) on Dec 20, 2015 at 10:52pm PST
