Man the musical journey continues. Returned from Jamcruise on Sunday, went and saw Brett Mosley that night. Was treated to a fabulous Garrett Sayers Trio set Wed. Caught the tour opener for Wilco Thurs., and have a night with George Porter Jr and the Running Partners and another with Big Gigantic ahead. Here is another magical moment from Jamcruise. You just simply can't beat a beach party with Toubab, Haitian dancers, clear water and all the sand you can dig-

Less than 24 hours to the party of the year kicks off, and I am stoked! Thursday night before I left for Ft Lauderdale I had the chance to go see some great music. Nice little warm up show with the Band of Heathens and Jason Isbell. In fact it was nice to see some great southern country rock n roll before launching out on a week of funky, jamming at sea. Here is a shot of Jason having a little pull-

Since I haven't posted anything in so long I will post again today. Railroad Earth played 3 nights in Denver at the Ogden Theater for NYE. On night 2 the band offered to play a special early acoustic show for fans who were willing to spring a little of that doe ray me for the holidays. The proceeds went to Rock the Earth. Founder Marc Ross was kind enough to have me out to the intimate performance to catch some of the action. It was a great opportunity to see some wonderful music. Thanks again Marc, Rock the Earth and Railroad Earth!

Jam Cruise, Panic Wood Tour, Panic en La Playa, George Porter Jr and the Runnin Partners, Wilco, The Motet Best of Halloween, Big Gigantic, the first ever winter concert at Red Rocks w/ Atmosphere and Common are just around the corner.

Without fail every year I seem to have a period when I feel divided from my work. May seem like a bad thing, but actually is always enjoyable. For whatever reason I have to step away from taking pictures, and trying to always be in the right place at the right time. I revert back to going to see music because I love it, not because it is work. I free myself from the burden of backpacks full of heavy equipment. I stand out in the crowd, and allow the energy of anticipation and excitement to control the pulsing flow of blood thru my veins. I indulge in the simplicity of being a fan. Dance like no one is watching, and get back to why I fell in love with live music in the first place.

So rather than just not have much to share I will go in to the vaults to offer up a blog entry. Today was a super exciting day for news of Rock 'n Roll. Radiohead will tour the US in 2012, and I for one plan to see at least a couple of their shows. Here is a shot of Thom Yorke from Bonnaroo 2006. What an epic show that was!

I always seem to be apologizing for mismanaging this blog. Once again a big my bad goes out for not posting in a while. I have been working on edits from my friends Matt and Lori's wedding. It was such a wonderful day. Great friends, a beautiful ceremony, and a real sweetheart of a bride. Lori looked beautiful in her dress. Early in the day when we were hanging out and catching up I noticed the dress hanging on the wall between two lovely day lit curtains. I thought it made for a really pretty image. Hope you enjoy a little something different.

Just got back from a phun adventure. Spent the last week and some change riding bikes all over the state with my boy Dave Myers. We rode a bit in Crested Butte, battled storms at over 11000 feet for a few days outside Telluride at Alta Lakes and threw down on the downhill runs in the rain. Also caught a little bit of the finals at Crankworx Colorado in Winter Park, and rode one last day at Sol Vista. This is Dave railing some berms at the Sol Vista park. Man, I am completely hooked on gravity! As if I need another bike fetish. Oh boy-

Here is a multiple exposure from the Pretty Lights late night set. Derek kept the tent jumping till like 700 in the morning. Big props to Michael Wientrob for the inspiration with multiple exposures. We have been challenging one another with our craft for many years now. He is the master of the multiple exposure!

Warren Haynes Band blew thru Denver on a two night stand. I didn't make it the first night because I went to see Orgone. I did hear that it was pure HEAT! Second night had moments of greatness. However it just didn't really seem to move me as much as I expected. Don't get me wrong it was a good show, however when you have Warren Haynes, Ron Johnson, Terrance Higgins, Ron Holloway and Nigel Hall all together expectations will run high.

I always enjoi seeing Umphrey's Mcgee. They have for sure matured into one of the premiere bands on the jamband scene. They always bring extreme talent and creativity to the table. Everytime they play the WAR Memorial in Nashville it ends up being a superb show. Last year Jeff Coffin and Futureman sat in with them for a big chunk of the show. This year opening act Keller Williams joined in. Their lighting guru Jefferson Waful had the cans working the other night. Here are a few shots from back in the crowd.

This past week was a tough one. A great friend's dog was hit by a car and went to be with Woo, and we all know a dog is as good as any man. The blessings of life and love are so fragile and can be ripped away from us in an instance. Life's biggest lover, and a dear friend Brian Lauer also was taken from us. Sometimes a person with that much love to give and laughter to share gets promoted from an earthly ambassador to something much larger than life. He now has the burden of watching over all us and making sure we make it to the show (something he will be so good at. He's been practicing for years).

After his funeral some good friends took the torch and headed for Athens to partake in one of Brian's favorite past times cheering on Widespread Panic. The band was celebrating their 25th Anniversary with two shows where it all began. The Classic Center was built on the spot where the band played their first gig, and is a place they have played some highly coveted shows. These two nights would be no different. The first night the band started the show with the Buffalo Springfield cover "For What its Worth" a song they had not played since 88. Then followed with two personal favorites "Sleepy Monkey" and "Chilly Water." Those three songs were how the band started that first show way back in 1986.

Friday night in Athens was exactly what it needed to be. My friend Gabe celebrated his birthday, everyone I saw wore a huge smile, and Brian's presence was everywhere. After two monstrous sets filled with gems like "No Sugar", "Machine> Barstools", "Nights in White Satin", "Impossible" and " New Speedway Boogie" the first encore could not have been started with anything more fitting than " Don't Be Denied."
Here is a shot that hopefully shows what kind of party it was. Looks exactly how I pictured the band would say farewell to a friend and eternally loving fan. We take you with us everywhere Brian, and we will never be able to show all the love you had, but we will put our best foot forward and know you will still pick up the rest-

Well Happy New Year! I am beginning the process of withdrawing from the world's best community, Jam Cruise. Life on the boat is the best. The music is amazing. The artists all raise the bar and bring their best, playing with old friends, collaborating with new friends. The patrons are the best fans and friends anyone could ask for, and who wouldn't want to spend a week cruising around the caribbean. This year I honestly feel was the best Jamcruise EVER! If you have any sense about you you will pre book for Jam Crusie 10. Which will surely prove to be the most epic partay!

Last Friday was a great day for music here in Nashville. Umphrey's Mcgee played at the WAR Memorial w/guests Jeff Coffin and Futureman joining in. The City Champs and North Mississippi Allstars played at the Cannery. I was at WAR, but stopped by and hung out with Luther for a moment earlier in the day. Here is a photo from on board the NMAS bus.

Went and shot a punk show Friday night at The End. It was So Jazzy, Jeff the Brotherhood, Marj and Meemaw. Pretty wild crowd, and fun energy. This is a shot of Jeff the Brotherhood. The guitar player just dove off the front of the stage.

Here is a cool long exposure from the STS9 pool deck show. There is no where more inviting than the pool deck at 2 or 3 in the morning with such spiritually cleansing breezes and phenomenal tunes!

Happy New Year

Almost let the week get away from me. Christmas Jam was a blast as usual. Asheville still remains one of my favorite towns in America. Here is Jackie Greene and Jimmy Herring rocking with Gov't Mule at the Jam.

This week I head out for Christmas Jam in Asheville. Should be a great weekend. I get to hang out with lots of friends like Velvet Truckstop, Backyard Tire Fire, Geoff, Jay, Dino, Alison and so many others. Plus a ton of great music. Anyway this weeks post is from Willie Nelson at the Ryman. It was an iconic night of Ryman activity w/ a who's who of "Nashville Cats" as Willie's band.

Here is a photo from my shoot this past weekend with Backyard Tire Fire. I really feel like they are one of the most exciting things going on right now on the music scene. The addition of band friend Scott Tipping really turns up the excitement in their live sets, and Ed's song writing continues to become more and more iconic. They have the type of timeless staying power that will make their music fall in with the greats like Petty, Bruce and Davies. And their musical prowess is outstanding!

Here is a photo from the STS9 Halloween show. This is the opening band MASERATI. They were pretty dope. I am trying to expand on the concept of multiple exposures to have the look and feel of Lomo cameras.

Going backward a bit to Next Big Nashville, here is a photo of the Black Diamond Heavies at the Next Big Nashville "Honkytonk Takeover." This was way cool as these shows were probably the only night that lower Broadway's honky tonks permeate the sounds of rock and roll!!!

Fall riding is the best. When the leaves are changing everything around you just pops. Also there are usually some grey, rainy ride days. Me and my buddy Jam Danver went to Montgomery Bell today and took some pics, experimented with his cable camera and got in a nice little ride. Here is a cool shot of Mr. Danver crossing a creek and being greeted by one of the friendly Middle Tennessee trail gnomes.

Well it is beautiful day and I am hemmed up with a bad back. Guess it isn't really all that bad. If I wasn't on the injured reserve for the day I would be working at REI. Using the downtime to work on some new images for the website. So look for new website content, soon! This is a killa lil layout if I do say so myself. Workin on showcasing some design elements this time around. So should have a good bit of pieces like this Freedom Fighters layout.

Sorry to have bailed on you all. I was in Colorado for the past week, and before that just plain old lazy! I shot a great show at Red Rocks this past Sat. but have not had an opportunity to process any of it. I will be posting some stuff from the Mountainside Mardi Gras soon. For now here is a shot from WSP at Forecastle Fest earlier this summer.
