Hello!

I use photography to document how I see the world. There are interesting and beautiful things to appreciate in everything and everyone—sometimes more interesting than beautiful.

Pain and happiness are part of the same cycle. Photography gives us the power to freeze a single moment in time, allowing us to capture emotions forever.

I believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis.

I drink scotch and am a social media addict. I don’t advise participating in these activities in that order.

You are either part of the problem, part of the solution or part of the landscape.

There is no present, only the recent past and near future.

Life is a series of choices. What we choose to do repeatedly defines who we are.

Arctic Monkeys @ The Ritz

Tuesday, April 6, 2010 Posted in Concert Photos

This was a really fun show, not only to shoot but getting to hang out with a lot of really cool people during and after the show. The opening band, Sleepy Sun, was a bit “jam band” ‘ish for my tastes. They looked great and people seemed to be into them, but anyway, Arctic Monkeys came on a more than made up for it.

Afterwards I wandered over to Orpheum after some urging from my friends and checked out El Ten Eleven. I was really surprised, they were really good. They had really unique and interesting style. Although they sound quite differently from the songs I’ve found online, you should check them out next time they come through.

Update: I found this article on the Creative Loafing site which has this video, it kinda gives you some idea what they’re like.

Update 2: Check out the article on El Ten Eleven’s show on Creative Loafing’s music page.

More photos after the jump and the full set from the evening here.
