Up and Away
by Kyle Troop &The Heretics
Written for My Adventures With Superman. Now available on Adult Swim, Max and Toonami.
Season 2 - Out Now!!
Season 3 Coming Soon!
I’m Kyle Troop.
I like to keep it creative and kinda weird.
Thinking outside the box is one of my favorite things to do. Making creative moves in generally non-creative situations usually leads to a good time and killer end result.
Some of the stuff I get into.
A good mix of photos I’ve snapped to music stuff like Kyle Troop & The Heretics and Faraday Recordings. You’ll also get a few design projects thrown in here too. All of these are as across the board in as I am. Have fun digging through my art.
Wandering Nashville
Wandering around Nashville in October 2024 with a roll of Ilford HP5+ and a Nikon FE. The day was right for some nondescript opportunities before heading to work.
New York October 25
Some snaps from around Manhattan a few months ago. It's always fund to get out and walk around the city. There's something new and cool for each roll of film to see. These were taken with a Nikon FE on Kodak Portra 400, CineStill 800T, and Ilford HP5+, and then one...
Marvelous 3 – 3rd Time’s The Charm
3rd Year of the Marvelous 3 shows. Such a blast handling bass and drum tech stuff, getting to work with friends, and drinking stupid amounts of coffee. This year had shows in Nashville, LA, Atlanta and New York. We hopped all over the place dragging gear through...
Charlotte Art
Riding around Charlotte on a Sunday day in February and checking spots from a previous trip that I wanted to grab snaps from. I lucked up. The building I was hoping to see again was still there, and still not painted over. I need to get back up there and go thru a few...
Rollei 35AF First Roll
Got my hands on the new(ish - at this point) Rollei 35AF. Yes, it's rad as fuck. It also has autofocus. AF can mean many things. It's all in the eye of the beholder. Haha. The Rollei 35AF showed up, I threw in a roll of Lomo 400, and kinda forgot about it half the...
Hangs with Adam
Recently got to hang with one of my best homies. I've known Adam for a loong time. So it's always fun to hang out and bullshit. Of course, I for sure had a camera on me. Plus the Cigars and whiskey at an hour unreasonable for most people elevated the level of fun....
Volland Studios Inc
Headed down Vandeventer Ave right as you're getting to I-64, there's this spot tucked right next to a ramp and overpass for the interstate. Kind of a pain to pull in here and I always seemed to miss the right traffic opportunities during the day. So I waited until the...
LA Vibes
A few days in LA last year for some shows. Two nights in a row at the same venue leaves a little extra time for walks with a camera tagging along. Most of the these shots are around Hollywood over to Laurel Canyon. Getting to check out new places because of music and...
Vaughn Furniture Co
From one of my regular journeys over to Galax, VA to get tacos from one of the three taco truck options. I know what you're thinking. Yes, I am living right. On the way over to my favorite taco truck I'd drive through downtown Galax and look at the old factories and...
Lit 2024
A copy of the infamous Woodstock 99 VHS is still in my possession with the tape slightly more worn out during the part where Lit is just absolutely ripping Four. Kinda cool how it works out that I get to watch Lit for a few nights on the M3 tour. It's not always the...
F100 Out in the Wild
Riding around Canton, GA one afternoon and saw this F100 sitting there. Snap snap. Taken with a Nikon FE 35mm on Fuji 400 Color.
Loitering in Franklin
Finding yourself in need of quickly burning thru a half roll of film before catching a flight, thus needing the camera to be empty before it hit the TSA scanner. This was the night before flying out for the Letters 20th Tour. I had gotten into town, grabbed dinner...
American Hi-Fi Tabernacle 2024
I've been an American Hi-Fi fan since the self-titled record in 2001 and had never gotten to see them play. So it was especially cool to watch them rip it for 3 nights in a row at the Marvelous 3 shows in Atlanta. All of the dudes are so rad. Creeping around the stage...
Marvelous 3 Hair of the Dog
When you run off and join the circus. Getting to hang out with the Marvelous 3 is always a seriously rad time. These dudes are the best humans. The Year of the Hair of the Dog Tour was amazing. I was back again this year to drum tech for Slug and his gorgeous Gretsch...
Landsdowne Falcon
Every day driving to get coffee in St. Louis I'd see this Ford Falcon sitting at a shop on Landsdowne. I had been eyeing it and wanted to stop. But each time I passed by, there were other cars in the parking lot blocking any sort of clear view. Until one day it was...
Glimpses of Marmont
"If you must get into trouble, do it at the Chateau Marmont." These were taken with a Nikon FE 35mm on Ilford HP5+.
Hanging Around The Tabernacle
Hanging out behind the Tabernacle after load in, eating a salad, snapping a few frames with some new film. You never know what might catch your eye hanging out in parking lots behind venues. These were taken with a Nikon FE 35mm on Fujifilm Color 200.
Sarah Easton STL
Killing time and burning film around St. Louis one afternoon. I happened upon this spot. That bright blue wall caught my eye. It was time to start snapping. These were taken with a Nikon FE on Fujifilm 400 and Kodak ColorPlus 200.
Delta 88
Just down the street from one of my favorite coffee shops in Nashville. I've driven by here so many times. And even though most of the lot is filled up with wrecked late-model cars with no character, this gem is always sitting right out front waiting on me to have 5...
Butch Walker Letters Anniversary Tour
LA was way cool. Nashville was way rad. Being around exceptional humans is always awesome. MySpace Tom was the icing on the gluten free cake. Had the pleasure of riding along on Butch Walker's 20th anniversary shows for the Letters record. Getting to guitar tech and...
Blueprint Coffee Watson
The first oat milk latte I had in St. Louis was at Blueprint Coffee. On Watson specifically. And after making the effort to try a good handful of other shops in town, this was it by far. The vibes are always on point and the people truly kind. While the espresso is...
We Do Brakes
Killing time and riding around. I was just outside of Canton, GA when I came upon this cool little tire shop. For being so close to the highway, it had its own serene vibe going on. A place you could sit and visit. These were shot on a Nikon FE 35mm with a roll of...
Creeping Around STL Yards
Hanging around train yards is one of my favorite ways to kill time, and usually find cool stuff to photograph. This day was a nice break of working from home and just had to get out and stretch my legs. The BNSF intermodal yard in St. Louis is where I found myself...
Positively No Admittance
I spotted this vacant factory at the end of a side street around Mount Airy, NC. I'd love to go back to explore more of the area and adjacent buildings that seem to be part of the old factory as well. Taken with a Nikon FE 35mm and Nikon 28mm AIS lens on Kodak Portra...
Charlotte Sights
Had a few hours to kill hanging around Charlotte and decided to see the sights. Well, there's way better sights. But these are the sights I found that day. These were taken with a Nikon FE 35mm on Kodak UltraMax.
Move-In Special
Move-In Special. First and last month's rent to make this place your very own. It's a little drafty and you'll have to fight with the opossums for the use of the porch. And pay no mind to the empty mobile home lots around the yard, with this place you'll be park...
Nice Stems
This peculiar spot is on the way to Blueprint Coffee. Sitting at the red light, there's a great view of the building on stilts. It's pulls my attention every single time. I happened to catch it mid afternoon one weekend and had a roll of film to finish up. So I pulled...
Ran When Parked
Down by the river in Galax, VA. I'm sure it ran great when it was parked. These were taken with a Nikon FE on Kodak Ultramax 400.
Mexicali To Go
Riding around Cartersville early one morning and passed by this staple. When it's open, there's rarely a parking spot open in the tiny lot. That doesn't discourage many. These were taken with a Nikon FE on Lomography Color 400. I'll have a Mexicali to go, and a sweet...
Gold Diamonds Guns
It's like a Transplants song just writing itself in the parking lot of this pawn shop. I was out riding around intentionally looking to burn some film. But I didn't expect to come upon this gem. The "Absolutely No Profanity" sign was the cherry on top. Taken with a...
