#band blog
Excuse me while I have one of those surreal moments when I realize that I’ve photographed my favorite band like 6 times now. Years ago, I was the shy high school girl that Mike and Vic let stand side-stage at Warped for no other reason than the fact that I loved the band. I was the girl that Vic brought onstage and sang “Yeah Boy and Doll Face” to while I basically couldn’t believe my luck. I was the fan that showed up at 8 AM to every show in my area to get the best spot possible, and sang my heart out at every show.
Four years later, I’ve photographed Warped Tour every year. I’ve shot every PTV tour since Collide With The Sky came out. I’ve had my work published in Alternative Press and other magazines around the world. I’ve had my photos featured in national ad campaigns for music companies, and yet even with all of this crazy success and luck that I’ve had, I can’t help but be absolutely floored and giddy every time I shoot PTV, even though I’ve done it quite a few times now.
I wish I had the words for how much this band means to me still though. Because I really don’t. I still tear up at their shows, and I still love their music.
