I am seriously the worst at keep up on this blog. I don't know why. But I am. Just...damnit.
I'll say that I am still alive, still here and kicking. It has just been a VERY crazy busy past two years really, well maybe a year and a half...? Whenever the Covid restrictions started to fall off. I went basically full head on into concert photography, making that my deal now. Over the past year I have been able to photograph some of the best and top artist out there, including:
Bruce Springsteen
Carlos Santana
Carrie Underwood
Alicia Keys
Reba McEntire
Wynonna Judd
Twenty One Pilots
Garth Brooks
Tool
The Lumineers
Machine Gun Kelly
The Foo Fighters
Rancid
Flogging Molly
Anti-Flag
The Who
Halestorm
Motley Crue
Def Leppard
Poison
Joan Jett
WAR
Underoath
Coheed and Cambria
Don McLean
Garbage
Roger Waters (of Pink Floyd)
AWOLNATION
Ani DiFranco
Ben Folds
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
Death Cab for Cutie
The Eagles
and the list goes on and on...
Sometimes I wish I had the time to just take it all in, but other times I don't want it to get to my head the fact that I've been this lucky/skilled or whatever you want to call it. I just know that I wouldn't give this up for the world, being able to see and photograph and so on all of these people.
But yes, my world has gotten very busy. Still working on the Punk Rock documentary project, have a few photos going into the Punk Rock museum out in Vegas when that opens up in a few days on April 1st, 2023, go check that out if/when you can.
I have a ton more concerts coming up too...stuff just...I never thought I would be asked to shoot. Here is a small list of shows coming up that I am photographing:
Toto
John Mellencamp
Black Flag (This is a maybe, have not decided on this one for sure)
The Guess Who
Janet Jackson
Robert Plant (of Led Zepplin)
Built to Spill (This is another maybe...)
Tenacious D
Chicago
The Dead and CO
Blink 182
Matchbox 20
Taylor Swift
Ed Sheeran
Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks
Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper
REO Speedwagon (again, I photographed them last year)
The Black Keys
Dashboard Confessional
The All American Rejects
The Ataris
Story of the Year
Plain White Ts
Willie Nelson
Billy Idol
P!nk
And more. And no, I am not complaining...not at all. It just is odd and exciting to see everything. I guess this late night/early morning rant is more for me to be able to sit back and see everything laid out in front of me, kinda brings it all to reality.
But the moral of this all is that I am not dead. I am still here, just been VERY busy.
If you would like to see a photo or two from the concerts that I have already photographed (the first list) let me know and I'll try and post soon (yes soon, I promise)
