Dec 12, 1958 – Oct 17, 2010

Hit hard in heaven my friend.

In loving memory…

a great combo.

Taking a break on my favorite Brooks & Dunn couch behind Trey’s drum kit.

July 31, 2010 – Camden, NJ

How many photographers does it take to ruin a music experience?

I officially quit the photo pits.

June, 2010 – Nashville

Hangin’ outside David Steele’s garage…

Later, inside the garage:

The beginnings of a band (“Totemistic”)…

And a Hot Rod (1940 Ford)…

Dec 24, 1951 – Feb 28, 2010

In memory of the wonderful T-Bone … an exceptional artist and friend.  You made all of our lives so much richer.   I will miss you every single day.

August 23rd – Do Not Mess with NJ roller derby girls. Murder Beach Militia vs. Anchor Assassins yesterday….it was fierce.  A night of jamming in the rink and slamming (beers) in the bleachers.  It rocked.  Murder Beach Militia will battle it out in the finals on November 28th back at Convention Hall.

My assistant took this photo a couple of years ago when I did an Xmas photo shoot with Les Paul for Guitar Center.  He was a blast to work with and was always lovely to talk to.  Les continued to do what he  loved until his final days – a true inspiration.

August 8, 2009 – Marilyn Manson SPIT on me as I photographed his crowd from the pit at the Mayhem Fest in Camden.  I can honestly say it was one of the most disgusting experiences ever and I was furious.  So I hit him in the shin with my Nikon D300 and sent him home with a nice black and blue.  Luckily, I got my updated Tetanus shot just recently!

July 29, 2009 – It was so great to be back in Dublin – this time to experience the excitement surrounding U2′s hometown gigs.  3 shows at Croke Park!  I worked on capturing the Irish crowds inside and outside of the stadium.  There’s a road called Windmill Lane where U2 recorded at the beginning of their career. The walls of this now vacant studio are covered with graffiti created by fans who have come from all over the world to pay tribute to these 4 Irish lads. I took this photo to remember one of my favorite notes left by a South African fan. It reads, “God is a U2 fan.”  Yeah, she probably is.

June 30, 2009 – Drove from Seattle to Glacier National Park last week. Breathtaking scenery every minute of the way. Liz and I stopped at random to explore unmarked roads….Perhaps our greatest discovery was the 9 Mile House – a very old saloon where I had the best onion rings of my life! (This is a must if you’re ever near Missoula)

I thought this gigantic eagle was marking the entrance to a hotel or museum…but it turned out to be a private residence! What happened to mailboxes?
