OFF! is one of my favorite bands. 100% energy from start to finish. Their regular drummer, Mario from Rocket From The Crypt, was in the Pacific Northwest, so this is the first time I saw OFF! with Dale Crover (Melvins) … Holy CRISP (holy crisp was typo in an email I sent out last week…

I had never been to the Bootleg Theater before seeing The Obits there a few weeks ago. It’s an interesting venue. There are 2 rooms. You enter into a room with a big stage, a bar, some tables and stools. This is the smaller of the 2 rooms. The one thing that annoyed me about…

Dave and Phil Alvin played an in-store at Fingerprints Record Shop in Long Beach on Tuesday 6/10/14. They were great! I was lucky enough to get a good spot in front of the stage and shoot some photos. One of the photos of Phil reminds me of the cover of the Blasters LP, it looks…

That’s true. We were in San Francisco for 4 days and never saw the Golden Gate Bridge. We didn’t see Fisherman’s Wharf, Ghirradelli Square, we didn’t even see a cable car! We did get to see great friends (though we missed a few of those too), great bands, we ate great food and had a…

A few weeks ago I posted a photo of Iggy and the Stooges on facebook. I’ve never had such a positive reaction to a posted photo before. Those of you who do not have group or business pages on facebook (like for a band or a photography hobby) may not know that you are able…

I went to the Ink n Iron music festival last weekend on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. I have a strong distaste for music festivals, though I seem to go to a few per year. I’m such a jaded old so and so, that I will only go to a festival if I…

Portraits 19 – 23 were done in Venice, CA last weekend. These portraits are very different than all of the others, which is good, I like them. Portrait Project – Portrait #19 – Venice, CA (this is the first portrait of a couple, first full-length shot, and honestly, the first shot in the portrait project that…
