I shot one of my favorite bands this month (September): THE DAMNED. I’ll not bitch about the parking at the House of Mouse , but please know that it was the worst I’ve ever seen. I’ll try to keep this short, since my Social D post is long. I love The Damned. Captain Sensible is…

I was lucky enough to score a photo pass for Social Distortion at The Observatory for Sunday, September 13, 2015. No, I was not the oldest person at this show, which was great. Getting on the list and getting a photo pass for Social D in Orange County is crazy. I asked a friend, who…

2 years ago, when I pawed through my Black Flag shoot from the Observatory, I wasn’t very happy with the results. I pawed through them again today and found a couple that I like … It’s always good to get away from your photos after you take them … Then come back and look at…

Those who know me, know that Stiff Little Fingers have been my favorite band FOREVER. I’d say, since 1980. Last week I finally got to bring my camera to one of their shows. While this is not my best work, I have an excuse, it’s hard to shoot while bouncing up and down and singing…

Punk Globe Magazine was looking for photos of certain artists to include in their “Best Of” Book. I was pretty happy when I got an email from Ginger Coyote from Punk Globe Mag that one of my Captain Sensible photos made the cover! (He’s up at the top, above the “u” in Punk).

I am one of the biggest “dorky-fan-boys” I know. Needless to say, when I got a text from Lou Barlow last week asking for permission to use some photos I shot of a recording session back in 2013, I was blown away. I love all Lou’s music, but I have to be honest and say…

I hope when I type things like: “I was lucky enough to score a photopass” that I don’t sound like a phony. I truly feel lucky to get these photopasses. Regularly, professional, working, photographers will ask me how I get my photopasses … I am lucky to have friends in the right places who can…

While I am proud to work on every episode of Death or Glory, there are a couple that I am a little closer to. This is one of them. I think it’s because I was able to reach out to Tom Hazelmyer to be a guest, so I felt like I helped to get the…
