The Phish

Every now and then you get lucky...A photo pass for Phish dropped into my lap last week for their fall tour closing show in New Hampshire. Since shooting for the first time, I have always wanted to get the opportunity to shoot this band, and after close to 8 years of waiting, it happened. I've always admired the work of Danny Clinch, Jay Blakesberg, Herb Greene, and Jim Marshall, and shooting one Phish show obviously doesn't put me in the ring with them, but getting to goals in your life sure does feel good. A big thanks to Justin Ward over at www.livemusicblog.com for coming through with the pass, and head over to see a larger selection of pictures from this show.

cheers

Ladies and Gentlemen...

The Indobox, at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston, MA.

Custom Guitar

I was recently asked if I could photograph a friend of mines new custom guitar. Nothing special just come down and make some pictures before the show. Well this is what came of it. The guitar is beautiful and the tone of the wood is even more striking in person. The guitar was built by Sean Loughney who works out of Dunore, Pennsyvania. He was kind enough to put a few of my images up on hiw website, so stop by yo have a look.


I will be posting images from Joe and the Indobox's show at The Paradise in Boston very soon!

Rainy Monday

summer...

In remembrance of the last day of summer. Welcome fall...

Disco Biscuits 9.11.10 Bank of America Pav., Boston, MA

The Disco Biscuits came back to town this past weekend, and after their shortened stay last March, they had some ground to cover. With an epic light rig, it was like throwing darts at a bulls-eye the size of a mattress trying to get good shots. I put this little number together as I thought it had a nice feeling, a small mini story inside of the evening. It's also pretty rare to get 3 shots in focus and of the same exposure when dealing with live shows as is always the case, when your just ready to make two and three, lights change, someone gets in your way, a lame security guard tells you to scram...

Anyway...I may post more from this evening, or I may just throw them all up over at my flicker account which you can check them out there. Or head over to www.livemusicblog.com for the full gallery. I look forward to shooting some more shows in the near future, with the possibility of some BIG names! Stay tuned...

Camp in Black and White with a twist...

Wanted to throw a few new images up today, taken at my cabin a few weeks back. Rain and fog make me think in black and white, but I thought i'd play around with a few twists of color. Serene and quiet with a few hungry ducks tossed in for fun.

One for Sunday...

It's a perfect fern, and every year it grows like this...nice

Camphouse

Two weekends ago we traveled down into the mountains of Central Pennsylvania to visit my family at our cottage. It really is the kind of place where the phrase "eat, drink, and be merry" holds true. It happened to be raining on the one morning we had to go out and make some pictures, so we made the best of it, and took to the inside. It's funny how the mood of the day always seems to effect the way that you shoot and mood the eventually comes out in the images. I feel like these look like a rainy day.

The rain did eventually let us and we were able to go out and explore a bit as well as head up to the lake where the fog and mist were hanging heavy. I'll be putting those up shortly, but for now enjoy!
