How much do I love Cris Jacobs? Endlessly. This guy has inspired me as a guitar player and songwriter since I was 18 years old. I went from being a fan, to a worker, to a friend. But I never stopped being a fan. To have him at my work (The Mann Center) was so amazing. He kicked off the day at the Outlaw Music Festival. When I walked around the venue to get more shots, I loved hearing people in the crowd give him and the band praise. Check out his website, http://www.CrisJacobs.com for tour dates and more!!!

If anyone knows me, they know my love for trains. About two years ago I started using the amtrak to commute from Baltimore to Philadelphia for work. It opened up a new world of travel for me. When moving to Philadelphia in April, the subway system became a major part of my way of getting from point A to point B, and beyond. I was asked by a new client to make a mood board of my choice, and I chose the EL (Market Frankford Line). Without it, I would be riding my bike so much more then I already do. Which is fine, but sometimes, I need to not be a sweaty mess when going to meetings or dinners. Here is just a small taste. (more…)

Im currently in my fourth season of shooting for The Mann Center - I never thought I would have a job at a venue so large. Im not complaining. Its exposed me to a world I didn't know, and so many bands I wouldn't have been in front of otherwise. This small gallery isn't even the tip of the iceberg. Just me spending some hours looking through folders from The Mann. I hope you enjoy. (more…)

It's been a lot of fun working for Krasno this past year or so - I've gotten to see some amazing music and travel to some great places (check past blog posts for the 5 night run we did last spring) . This past monday in New York is one of those cool places. The Blue Note is one of those places that everyone should experience. And DAMN did I pick a good show to do so. Eric Krasno and Friends is: Nigel Hall on Keys, Cory Henry, Chris Loftlin on Bass and Louis Cato on Drums - with special guest second show, Jon Batiste. This group of guys put on one of the most musically intense shows I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. With it being a seated and tabled venue. I actually was able to enjoy a lot of the music and wasn't stuck running around the venue to get to the next spot. (more…)

When it comes to music, I keep it diverse. I love jam bands, of course. But, songwriters and heartfelt music is always the source to why I like what I like or want what I want. Yes, it is pretty obvious that anyone would say that about a band they love, or enjoy. But TLB (did i just coin that?) is very very and iI mean VERY different. (more…)

Every now and then someone reaches out to me to photograph something for them, and I've never met the client before - This is one of those situations. What made this pretty special for me is that he found me on Instagram. Most of my business is found via word of mouth, a friend of a friend, etc. But for a total stranger to see my work on social media and hire me to capture such a important day in their life....damn does that make me feel good.
