Kansas City was lucky enough to get on 311’s winter schedule, however they did not get 2 sets due to it being a 4-act radio concert. Nevertheless, they put on a great show as always. I did not catch the first two openers of 96.5 The Buzz’s “Night the Buzz Stole XXX-mas,” but I was able to see Naked […]
While I didn’t shoot this show, I still had the need to talk about it. To non-rap/hip-hop fans, you probably think it is absurd they are practically selling out their shows in arenas across the country. However to the fans, it might have felt like a once-in-a-lifetime show. Rap artists don’t constantly tour like alternative or rock bands; the last […]
I have entered a photography contest called Exposure 2011. There are a couple different ways to win: first by having friends vote for your portfolio in the People’s Choice award. Secondly, they have a panel that picks the grand prize winner (not influenced by the People’s Choice). I need all the help I can get with votes, so you if don’t mind taking a second out of your day just click the link below and click “Vote” then “Like.” It is much appreciated and thank you for your support.

Navigating a new venue can tend to be a challenge. I had never been to the Beaumont Club for a concert and if I had I probably would have done things a little differently. It is a smaller venue which in this case meant no photo pit aka no space in front of the stage free of concertgoers. It just […]
First concert since making the move back to Kansas City: Chromeo @ the Midland. Unfortunately the opener, Mayer Hawthorne, wasn’t able to perform but it was a great night after all. Chromeo played their first ever KC show and rocked it.
With all the coverage and documentaries playing on Sunday Sept. 11th, 2011 (the 10th anniversary), it was good to take time to remember. It doesn’t feel like it has been 10 years since that tragic day. 10 years ago, I was a Junior in high school-only 16 years old at the time. So when I walked into my drawing class […]
Continuing on my concert photography adventure… This week: Slightly Stoopid featuring Rebelution, Shwayze & Cisco @ Charter One Pavilion Northerly Island (08/27/11, Chicago, IL). All the acts put on a great show and had a lot of energy; I loved how they all collaborated during each other’s acts. With the summer coming to an end, I will miss the outdoor […]
On a recent trip to Denver, I went for concerts at Red Rocks but still had my days open to be touristy. If you are ever traveling and need tourist suggestions, I recommend googling before hand. There are tons of websites with recommendations on places to go and things to see. For Denver (and surrounding areas) tourist sites check out: http://www.denver.org/what-to-do/must-see-denver. […]
Some people have their bucket list of things they would like to do before they die. Well I have a concert bucket list…a list of venues and bands I would like to cross off my list. One of the venues was Red Rocks in Morrison, CO; I had my sights set on 2 particular bands: 311 and Incubus. The stars […]
The time has come…football is back and here to stay (we hope)! While I don’t live in Kansas anymore, I will always be a Chiefs fan at heart. Chiefs N Chopper! I do live in Chicago and will root for the Bears as the team of the city I live in but going to Solider Field (for me personally) […]
