Remember Me: A Photographer’s Tribute To My Chemical Romance
It didn’t really quite hit me until Saturday night as I was waiting to shoot a show that I would never be waiting in a state of peaceful anticipation for My Chemical Romance to come out onstage ever again. I was seriously bummed out that it wouldn’t ever happen again, seeing my favorite band to see/shoot set a crowd on fire with their presence live. However, the best thing about the music is the spirit of the band will never die and neither will the music. When you create something in this world that is incredibly important to so many people, it becomes timeless. I’m very excited to see what each of them have got coming in the form of different creative projects both musically and artistically, as each of them are so talented in their own unique ways. In the meantime, I have taken a small portion of those amazing memories and captured them within my camera lenses. I have a great amount of gratitude for having the privilege of shooting them, capturing that and sharing it w…
Every Show I’ve Ever Shot: Introducing Concert Galleries Just For You!
Beginning over the course of the weekend and finishing up tonight, I decided to do something I’d planned to do a long time ago to the site: add a list of links with concert photo galleries for every show I’d ever photographed, categorized by artist. Why? Because I love you and it satisfies that occasional need to be very organized about particular things. You may find my art desk or my work area messy, but my files and galleries aren’t. That’s because I want you to be able to easily look up your favorite band or artist I’ve photographed with an alphabetical list.…
Things That Inspired Me This Week: Dresden Dolls, MCR, Dylan, & More!
What does it mean to be “Touched By Fire” exactly? It’s the feeling you get when you’re truly creatively and artistically inspired by something. It could be as simple but as powerful as hearing a new song that makes you want to blast it loud in your car and sing along like an idiot. A work of art that is so beautiful that no words can truly give itself justice; its beauty speaks for itself and ignites something inside you to go and start with a fresh canvas or illustration board. It could be the energy of another person’s presence and their creative insight that gives you the deepened desire to create something amazing and put it out into the world. All of these things represent the true meaning of the phrase, and I intend to capture that meaning in my blog.
Just so you know, there are many ideas and things I have in store for this site concerning my craft and projects. Some of the won’t take place until next year, but in the meantime I’d like to introduce to you a new series of blo…
The Sleeping live @ The Fubar
Long Island’s The Sleeping provided a fierce, in your face set last month, and I was lucky enough to capture them in action. I was highly impressed with their viscerale sound and grinding hardcore edge. You can view my photos from their intimate set at St. Louis’ Fubar at my Flickr gallery.
Thanks to the awesome folks over at , it is also being featured in their concert photographer galleries. Go check ‘em out!
