Sometimes a picture isn’t perfect. Sometimes I debate about presenting photos with imperfections . Yet this photo represents Bono in my mind. He’s an iconic band leader and the most enigmatic singer I’ve witnessed. U2 has always been my favorite band….. @u2 @u2.wolves @u2.zoostation.radio @u2start @atu2com #u2 #u2fans #u23 #u2thejoshuatree2017 #u23vietnam #bono #bonovox #newwavemusic #newwave #u2concert #portraitphotography #gig #audiophile #singersongwriter #singer #audioloveofficial #chasingthelightart #80s #u2songsofexperience #u2eitour #musicphotography #musicphoto #bestmusic #bestmusicshots #icon #rocknroll #rockstar (at Indianapolis, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAJImwmAuLb/?igshid=1w8oc9hqk5hpq
Wasn’t sure what to expect from the Lumineers. The outcome was a exceptional performance and a really fun evening of captivating music and entertainment. @thelumineers @wesleyschultz . . . . . #livemusic #stagephotography #rocknroll #concertphoto #newmusic #livephotography #musiclife #rockphotography #concertphotography #audioloveofficial #musicphotography #musicphoto #livemusicphotography #concertjunkie #concertphotographer #bandphotographer #musicphotographer #concertphotos #bestband #livemusicphotographer #gigphotography #liveconcertphotography #htbarp #indierock #folkrock #americana #lumineers #thelumineers #chasingthelightart #bnw_captures (at Bankers Life Fieldhouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/B836_cMAX4M/?igshid=1eznt8dtj032u
@thursdayband ‘s 1st and final promo group shots. - 20 years ago I got the opportunity to shoot a then unknown “emo” band called Thursday. I hadn’t heard them at the time but we hit it off and I had a feeling I’d like whatever music they produced because they’re such interesting and cool people with a clear vision of their art. Little did I know how much their music would blow my mind and their 3rd album #War All The Time” would be one of my favorite albums ever. They helped put a whole genre of music on the map. I stayed friends with them the entire time and worked with them throughout their career. I went to Brooklyn this past weekend to see them play their finals shows as a band. I asked if we could do a quick “final” shot for old times sake and they were willing to humor me ☺️. We positioned the band in the same order (but added Andrew on the far left) The first shot is current, the second is 20 years ago. Thank you Geoff, Steve, Tucker, Tim, Tom and Andrew for being such great guys and creating awesome music! . . . #Thursday #thursdayband #brooklyn #emo #rockband #punkrock #screamo #art #music #musicislife #hardcore #posthardcore #postpunk #musicphotography #musicphotographer #musicphoto #band #bandphoto #concertphotography #concertphotographer #concertphoto #mylife #rock #rockmusic #rockandroll #blackandwhite #musicislife (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvP_rkAALf8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ccpjjmo1pq7g
I’m terribly saddened by the passing of Prodigy’s Keith Flint. Getting to work with them was an absolute dream come true and I’m so grateful for it. Photo taken in 2015 I think. It was a rare situation where I was slightly nervous due to their intense persona. They couldn’t have been nicer. Keith was quiet, humble, and kind. The Prodigy has always been my favorite electronic group, I was never a huge electronic music fan but to me, they made electronic punk rock. RIP Keith.

Finally, No friend of mine should feel as if they have no one to talk to. Text, call, IM, or @ me.

Had an amazing time hanging with and shooting my friends in the band Thursday last night. Great humans who I have known for 15 years or so. Tonight I’ll photograph their set as they play one of my all time favorite albums “War All The Time” - that is, after I see the amazing @frankturner and the incredible @themenzingers show. @thursdayband . . . #punk #punkrock #posthardcore #hardcore #music #musician #musiclover #musiclovers #emo #emogirl #emoboy #screamo #concert #concertphotography #musicphotography #musicphotographer #livemusic #live #musicphoto #livemusic #rockandroll #musicsaveslives #mylife #photography #photographer #photooftheday (at Lincoln Hall)

Stuff from the vault. Here we have Doozy Daze, who I shot for a few times in 2016 or so. Pretty awesome stuff, very grungy-punk good times with Sarah, Owen, Jade and Luke.
