About East3rd

Dave

East3rd is maintained by me, Dave Anastasi. I am a freelance photographer, writer, musician, and web developer living in the Boston area.

East3rd.com was born in July of 2004, and spent its first two years as a photoblog. My intent in creating the site was to force myself to take some photos every day, and help me improve as a photographer.

In the summer of 2006, my interest in photography waned for a brief period, and my interest in writing surged. I chose the specialization of music critique primarily as an excuse to get out of the apartment and go to more concerts. After a few shows, I changed the format of the site to a more conventional blog, featuring both music reviews and fine art photography.

I'm always looking around for new music, so if you are interested in submitting your CD or letting me about your upcoming gig in or around Boston, just contact me via email at

Also, most of the photos on this site are available for purchase. Again, contact me at for details and pricing.
