Concert Photography

Print your work...

...but be more organized than I am. And don't listen to people who tell you what to do. You're not the boss of me! But for me, man, viewing photos online will never be better than holding a print or looking at a photo on a wall. Oh, on that

Bremerton is the Wild West

My friend's band, Filth is Eternal, had a show at The Charleston in Bremerton a few weeks ago. I forgot about the show until the day of. Tick tock, tick tock. You're not going to make that ferry. That bummed me out; tough to beat a ride on a Washington

A Few Nights in Portland

I like Cassidy’s in Portland. I’m in town for a Roselit Bone show. I planned on staying one night, but I enjoy wandering Portland’s streets, so I extended my stay a couple of nights. I’ve had the same bartender each night I’ve been here. She

Kristin Chambers at the Fremont Abbey Arts Center

Tony Hammons and I were back at the Fremont Abbey Arts Center on Saturday 15 September 2018 to shoot video for Kristin Chambers’ EP release. It was my first time seeing a show in the Abbey’s downstairs stage. Kristin Chambers’ voice really takes advantage of that expansive upstairs area,

Roselit Bone and The Black Tones at the Northwest Folklife Festival 2017

On 26 May 2017, up and coming Pacific Northwest bands Roselit Bone and The Black Tones played the evening slots at the Northwest Folklife Festival’s American Standard Time stage. It was a perfect day for sitting in the grass and listening to music. After a long, wet, dreary

On 20 May 2017, about 20 musicians and bands took to the stages at Obsidian for a day of music at the Olympia Acoustic Festival. Paul Mauer is the organizing force behind the festival, which is now in its fifth year. Paul describes the festival as a “celebration of
