the second day in atlantic city for the caravan fest. i was relieved that all of the weather apps on my iPad and my iPhone had been wrong thus far: none of those big gray clouds with yellow lightning bolts and little white spots coming down from them had come around. shooting something like this...

DMB Caravan Festival | Atlantic City, NJ | Day One
i won’t go into the details, but as the fates would have it, i got hired for the most thrilling job my photography has led me to as yet: to travel to new jersey to photograph the first of four weekend festivals headlined by dave matthews band this summer. three days, thirty-nine bands. i love...
caitlin crosby & brooke fraser | san diego | concert photography
this post has taken me a while to get to for no good reason. while i thoroughly enjoyed this concert, it taught me a lot about what venues i love to shoot concerts at and what venues i do not. one of the biggest keys to photography is light. that’s all i will say. :) ...
umphrey’s mcgee | house of blues, san diego | concert photography
if you do not know umphrey’s mcgee, i highly suggest you check them out. they are not for everyone, but i have been a huge fan of this band for close to 10 years now. i will borrow from their wikipedia page when i say they are best described as “improg” (meaning improvisational progressive rock)...
fistful of mercy | masonic lodge @ hollywood forever, la | concert photography
fistful of mercy is a supergroup that more people need to know about. i think this is one of those things that might fly more under the radar than it should, and i am here to help right that wrong for you (you’re welcome). the band is: dhani harrison (son of former beatle george harrison),...
ingrid michaelson | house of blues, san diego | concert photography
ingrid michaelson is one of those artists that even if you don’t think you know her, you know her. her songs have been on old navy ads, hit tv shows (scrubs, grey’s anatomy, bones, etc.) and all over the radio. she has also teamed up with some of my other favorite singer-songwriter types: william fitzsimmons...
ray lamontagne & david gray | greek theater, la | concert photography
the 2010 concerts continue… and now we move on to the stellar greek theater in los angeles for kind of a two-headed monster show (a good monster, not a bad monster). i was hired for this one by ray lamontagne’s people, but got some fantastic images of david, as well. i hope you agree… for...
dave matthews band | verizon wireless amphitheater, irvine | concert photography
i love music. i love photography. pairing the two together for me is not only a no-brainer, but it hits me in such a way that i am centered when i am doing it like almost nothing else. i am continuing to just ride this wave and hoping it takes me some place that i...
matisyahu | club nokia, los angeles | concert photography
many thanks to a heads up by my brother, i got hired the week before this show by the band to take photos. they were looking for someone new to shoot matisyahu’s performance and chose me. i was completely humbled and thrilled by the opportunity. i won’t talk a lot in this one… i know...
william fitzsimmons / rosi golan | lestat’s coffee house, san diego | concert photography
if you follow me on facebook or have had a conversation with me over the last 2 years or so about music, you know just how much i love william fitzsimmons‘ music. i stumbled onto him one day, shortly before the birth of our little girl, and my musical world was changed forever. the songs...
